GRIPS PhD workshop April 17, 2018
There are several distinct markers of success in graduate school.
1. Acceptance of the thesis / dissertation.
2. Publication of a research paper in a journal.
3. Acceptance to present at a conference.
In all of the above cases, success depends on two factors:
1) the content of the document, and
2) the writing of the document.
Successful writing must be readable, i.e. it must be easy and comfortable to extract information and argument from the text.
This workshop will survey the main elements of readability, illustrating each one with a task example.

Summaries
You will already be familiar with the idea of a summary from your English 102 course, in
which you had to summarize the articles you found for your term report. In addition,
summarizing can be an important part of note taking. (See pp. 10 to 12.)
To re-iterate, the essential purpose of a summary is to re-state concisely the main ideas of
an article, book, or report in order to save the reader the time and trouble of reading the
original full-length document. Summaries, in fact, can also be made for a variety of
media including PowerPoint presentations, business meetings, lab experiments, audio
files and TV programs. In the world of work, employees are often asked by managers to
produce summaries of lengthy reports that the manager himself does not have the time to
read.
The length of a summary varies according to the complexity of the original and the
specific needs of the audience, but, generally, they are between 5% and 20% of the length
of the original. Given the large amount of content to be omitted, it is important that
summarizers select all, and only, the significant information contained in the original.
Include:
The overall idea or purpose of the original
The essential main ideas of the original
Any essential supporting details for the main ideas
A reference for the original source
Exclude:
New information not contained in the original
Irrelevant information, such as t ...

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
