COURSE OUTCOMES
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.

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
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The great essayist Michel de Montaigne said, “Every [person] has within [themselves] the
entire human condition.” By this, of course, Montaigne didn’t mean that everyone has the
same experiences. Rather, we might take Montaigne to be saying that being human means
that we all react to and are shaped by our experiences.
Thanks to our capacity for language, we can try to communicate our various shades of
reality to others. Why might we want to do this? First, perhaps, to show people that there
ARE many sorts of experiences apart from (and not inferior to) their own; and second, to
provide insight into how these different sorts of experiences might shape how individual
people react to the world.
In a time where many have acknowledged a seeming lack of common ground and shared
values, perhaps this kind of personal and exploratory writing is more important than ever. In
this course, then, we will be delving into our own experience and learning the most effective
ways to share those experiences with others.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES. By the end of the course, you should...
1. Be familiar with many different types of personal writing.
2. Be able to read, comprehend, and analyze personal writing for its effects on audiences.
3. Be able to tell a compelling story using personal experience.
2. ENGL 208 SYLLABUS Page 2 of 5
4. Have a better awareness and control of formal features in writing, including literary
techniques, arrangement, style, and mechanics.
5. Have developed and refined your own writing process through the use of pre-writing,
drafting, revising, and other.
TEXTBOOK
• ENGL 208 does not require a textbook.
• All required readings are posted on the English 208 BbLearn site.
COURSE STRUCTURE AND REQUIREMENTS
You will be producing a combination of polished and unpolished writing for the course,
culminating in a final portfolio.
Complete all major assignments. As per English department policy, you must complete every
major assignment (here, what I’m calling “polished” writing) in order to pass the course. Not
completing a major assignment leads automatically to a grade of F in the course.
Complete homework assignments. For each project, there will be one or more assignments
designed to help “scaffold” the project. There is no “busy work” in this course. Every
assignment I give you is meaningful and is designed to help you develop some important
skill that will help you complete the project.
Participate in online discussions and draft workshops. Some of the work for the course
involves participating with your fellow students. Again, I assign discussions and workshops
only if they are meaningful and help you arrive at an understanding of some concept. I
expect you to participate in a more-than-cursory way; if you choose not to participate, you will
lose the associated points.
A NOTE ON PERSONAL VS. PRIVATE CONTENT
I want to distinguish between personal content and private content. In this course, I hope
you will all feel comfortable sharing personal writing with me and with your peers.
Sometimes sharing personal content makes us uncomfortable, but ultimately it is
meaningful and helps us grow.
But no one is required to share any private content or information—in fact, I discourage you
from writing about anything that you consider private. Sharing private content can be far
more traumatic, and might be more harmful than helpful. To get a sense of the difference, it
might help to think about everything you write for the course as something that is meant to
be shared publicly (as if, for instance, you were to get your writing published). If you would
feel uncomfortable with the public seeing something you’ve written for this course, then you
should probably choose to write about something else.
Also, please know that as a university employee I am a mandatory reporter—that means that
I am required to report to the dean’s office certain information. If in your writing or in a talk
with me you disclose information regarding behavior or incidents that may be sexual
harassment or sexual misconduct, or if you say anything that makes me feel that you or
another member of the campus community is in distress or displaying concerning behavior
(including suicidal ideation), I will have to report it. Reporting it just means that someone

from the university will likely reach out to you to see if you are okay—there is no sort of
disciplinary action.
GRADING POLICY
Each project includes a Drop Box for assignments. Assignments are typically due on
Tuesday, Thursday, or Sunday at midnight. The final due dates are clearly listed on each of
the project schedules, and the assignments themselves.
Unless you have gotten permission from me at least 24 hours ahead of time, homework
assignments will lose one letter grade per day they are late. I will make exceptions if you
have serious extenuating circumstances (severe illness, death in the family, etc.), but you
must tell me about these circumstances before the homework is due, and you must provide
the appropriate documentation upon your return.
Regarding late policies for polished writing assignments and the Final Portfolio, see the
“Grading, Self-Evaluation, and Missed Work Policies” link on the BbLearn course menu.
I will grade your work based on the following general criteria, though I’ll provide you with
more specific criteria for each assignment:
• A: superior; the work is of near-professional quality. The assignment meets or
exceeds all objectives. The content is mature, thorough, and well suited for the
audience; the style is clear, accurate, and forceful; the information is well organized
and formatted so that it is accessible and attractive; the mechanics and grammar are
correct.
• B: good; the paper meets the objectives of the assignment, but it needs improvement
in style, or it contains easily correctable errors in grammar, format, or content, or its
content is superficial.
• C: competent; the paper needs significant improvement in concept, details,
development, organization, grammar, or format. It may be formally correct but
superficial in content.
• D: marginally acceptable; the paper meets some of the objectives but ignores others;
the content is inadequately developed; or it contains numerous or major errors.
• F: unacceptable; the paper does not have enough information, does something other
than the assignment required, or it contains major errors or excessive errors.

COURSE POLICIES
1. Technology Requirements.
• Computer in good working order.
• Microsoft Word. Students are strongly encouraged to use Microsoft Word because it
is the most commonly used software in the workplace today.
Microsoft Office is provided at no extra cost to all students and 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.
• Microphone. Most computers have an integrated microphone that will work fine for
this course. If you need to purchase one, however, 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
5. ENGL 208 SYLLABUS Page 5 of 5
2. Accepted File Formats. The following are the only accepted file formats:
• Essays: Word or PDF
• Audio Essay: URL where the file is hosted. Digital media files (MP3, MP4, etc.) are not
accepted in this course. Your media file must be hosted in the cloud and play without
a user needing to download it first.
3. Deadlines. All work is due by 11:59 PM on the day/date indicated in the project
schedules. Late assignments will lose one letter grade (or the equivalent number of
points) per day.
If, when I start to grade your work, 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.
4. Verify Submissions to Avoid Point Penalties. When submitting assignments, students are
responsible for verifying that files they uploaded; are not corrupted; will open; and that
the URL to the slidecast 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 last
submission is the only one I grade.
5. 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
6. Academic Dishonesty. Consequences for academic dishonesty will certainly include
failing the assignment; students who plagiarize may also receive an F in the course. If
you’re not sure what plagiarism is, you can read the University of Idaho’s Academic
Honesty Policy onlineat http://www.if.uidaho.edu/docs/academic_honesty.pdf.F'.
7. Contacting Me. You are invited to email me when you have a question or to request a
writing conference. You may expect a reply within 24 hours.
