The student created three designs for a magazine: a front cover, contents page, and double page spread. They felt the double page spread was most successful because it took more inspiration from other magazines. Both the front cover and contents page had color schemes that diminished the designs by making elements blend together too much. Overall, the student learned that they need to pay closer attention to color contrast, consistency of design elements across pages, and including more images and details in their work. They plan to apply these lessons to improve their magazine design skills for the upcoming year.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
1. End Result: In the end I think that overall my
designs could have been a lot better. I feel that
out of the 3, my double page spread was much
more successful than both the front cover and
contents page. I feel this is because I took more
inspiration from other magazine when I got to the
creation of the double page spread. Also the
colour scheme of the front cover and contents
page didn’t work very well as a lot of things got
overpowered by less important aspects of the
pages. I think that it had a lot of good aspects but
they were overpowered by things that overall
didn’t work. For example, I liked the masthead,
however I don’t think it worked at all with the
colours as they were too similar and blended a bit
too much.
2. Front Cover: Overall I like the design aspects of the front cover, such as
the masthead and headline in the middle. However, I feel that the
colour scheme really diminished the overall look of the page as
everything was a similar colour and also all of the colours, including
those of the image were very dark so things blended too much and
nothing ‘popped out’ to the viewer so when passing by they would
probably ignore this magazine. I really liked the sub-header with some
words larger than other and some darker too, but like the rest of the
page, I used dark reds on this and things didn’t pop enough. I also feel
that this lacked detail too as it only has names of people and didn’t
provide enough information into what those names had to do with the
magazine. I also liked the bar at the bottom too, with all of the social
media details and barcode in their own section so people could pick out
the information they needed. I notice now, that only using a single
image, brings down the overall appearance of the page as there’s not
much to look at.
Looking at this I now know a lot more about overall design, which I can
use to greatly improve my magazine this year. I will now realise what
colour schemes work and what don’t, and I also now know that I need
to make sure aspects of the page don’t blend too much and make them
contrast more so the viewer will be able to read it more easy.
3. Contents Page: Like the front cover, I think the layout worked
well but the entire thing was dragged down by the choice of
colours. I feel that this is more bland than the front cover as it
uses a lot more grey colours which don’t work too well towards
the appearance of the page. I think that text is easier to read on
this page, with the choice of white on dark grey, so they
contrast enough to read well, although it could still be better.
Like the front cover I feel like this is lacking an appearance with
only the use of a single image, not including the social media
logos at the bottom. I also didn’t pay as much attention to
detail as I should have as it shows that there is less than 35
pages in this magazine which shows that it isn’t a very long
magazine compared to it’s potential competitors.
Looking at this I have a wider range of design knowledge into
what works and what doesn’t. I will pay more attention to detail
to try and perfect every aspect of my magazine this year, such
as the page numbers and the colour schemes I will use and I
will now use more images.
4. Double Page Spread: Of the 3 pages I feel this one
worked a lot better than the rest as I took a lot
more inspiration from other magazine. I think the
colour scheme worked a lot better as it’s a lot
simpler with only 2 main colours, cream and black,
which work very well together. I didn’t take as
many images as I initially should have, but I think it
worked out alright with the DPS as I edited it
enough to look better than it may have if I only
edited it a bit. I really like the large drop-cap as it
add a lot in the way of appearance to the page.
Although I really liked the outcome of this page, I
really don’t think it works well at all with the front
cover and contents page as they are drastically
different to this one. So for my magazine this year I
will make sure to keep the design consistent
throughout everything.
5. AS REFLECTION: This year in A2 I now know a lot in the way of design compared to
AS and I have this to compare to when designing my work this year. I know where I
need to improve and will work on bettering my skills in design with Photoshop. I
really enjoyed the creation process in AS so I have decided to work harder on it this
year.
Strengths: I had the design skills I needed, and knew what I wanted to create and
did it. Although it may not have been the best design, that’s what I wanted it to look
like at the time.
Weaknesses: Overall I feel I had the skill to create the product, however I don’t think
I had the ‘eye’ for design and will work harder on trying to improve this. I also need
to work on my time management as I was stuck doing a lot of my work in a single
week before the deadline so I need to make sure I don’t do the same this year.
