THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ARABIC STUDENT’S ENGLISH PROFICIENCY AND THEIR COMPUT...ijmpict
In order to find the relationship between students’ English ability and the students’ programming
comprehension, we conducted a survey. The survey explores if students’ weakness in the English language
affects the ability of the students to understand the programming with respect to the following factors:
Computer Lab, lecturer, mathematics, and logical thinking. This paper analyzed the results of two surveys
conducted in two Libyan universities. Results of the surveys showed that 37%, 38%, and 25% of students
stated that their programming abilities were negatively affected by English, Computer Lab and Lecturer
respectively. While over half of the lecturers mentioned that the students’ lack of English was the main
reason for their weak performance in understanding programming skills. This study found that the
programming ability had a moderate correlation with the Level of English proficiency, r=0.63, for both
universities. Based on English, Computer Lab and Lecturer factors, a regression model was able to explain
that 45% of the variance in programming skills.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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

Course Policies
1. Technology Requirements.
Computer in good working order.
Reliable Internet connectivity.
Microphone. Most computers have an integrated microphone, but if you need to
purchase one, here are two inexpensive microphones that bblearn recommends:
Logitech 1 ($14.99) and Logitech 2 ($19.99).
Reliable Backup. You will need a reliable backup to store the latest drafts of
your work other than the hard drive of your computer or an easily lost thumb
drive. Here is one I recommend http://www.dropbox.com
Microsoft Word.Students are strongly encouraged to use Microsoft Word
because it is the most commonly used software in the workplace. Microsoft
Office is provided at no extra cost to all students as part of the UI Microsoft
Licensing Agreement. You can install it on up to five separate devices. To install,
go to ITS Technology Services https://www.uidaho.edu/infrastructure/its/self-
help/ms-office/office-365
2. Multimedia Project Deliverables. Four of the projects require both print
and multimedia deliverables. Students are not expected to have prior experience in
producing multimedia products and will be invited to create these using free, cloud-
computing tools. All digital files are required to be accessible on a host site and play
without a user needing to download the file because you are practicing how to share
media as it is shared in workplace environments.
3. Accepted File Formats. The following are the only accepted file formats:
•Print Deliverables: Word or PDF.
•Infographic: jpg, png, or other image file; Word, PPT or PPTX, PDF file or the URL
where the file is hosted.
•Multimedia Deliverables URL where the file is hosted. Digital media files (MP3,
MP4, etc.) are not accepted in this course.
4. Deadlines. All work is due by 11:59 PM on the day/date indicated in the project
schedules. Late work will lose one letter grade (or the equivalent number of points) per
day late.
When I start to grade your work, if a file will not open or a URL link does not work, I will
notify you by email, and you will be given 24 hours to submit work correctly in bblearn
and a late work point penalty will apply. To avoid this problem, verify your submission.
5. Verify Submissions to Avoid Point Penalties. When submitting assignments, students
are responsible for verifying that files they uploaded are not corrupted and will open
and that the URL to the audio-essay works.
This means you must return to the submissions box and open any files you uploaded
and check that a URL works. If your work does not submit correctly or if you failed to
submit part of it, you will need to submit all work again in a single attempt because the
6. ENGL 317: HYBRID SYLLABUS Page 6 of 4
last submission is the only one I grade.
6. Compress Files Over 1 MB. Your work will lose points if the file you submit is over 1 MB
because large files slow down my ability to grade work. You will find free tools to
compress files posted to each project drop box.
7. University Disability Support Services. Reasonable accommodations will be made for
students with disabilities. Disability Support Services must approve your request: (208)
885-6307• dss@uidaho.edu
