1. The document describes the process taken by the student to sketch a kitchen utensil for a school assignment, including choosing a wooden rice scoop, using senses to observe it, and sketching it with pencils.
2. Key steps of the sketching process were outlining with a mechanical pencil, shading with a 2B pencil, and using an Instagram filter to refine the sketch by making corrections.
3. The student spent about an hour to complete the sketch but was dissatisfied with the results and took numerous breaks, resolving to avoid distractions for future assignments while still feeling successful for completing the task and wanting to sketch again.

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.

3. Steps involved in producing an attractive sketch (kitchen utensils)
A sketch is a simply or hastily executed drawing or painting, especially a
preliminary one, giving the essential features without the details. It is often used by
an artist or a designer to record down what they see. It is also a way for the artist to
turn their imagination into reality. Sketching is important to architects as it allows the
architect to generate more ideas and communicate to the clients about it. A sketch is
frequently used as it does not require a lot of complicated steps and you don’t have
to be Picasso to do a sketch. All you need is your imagination and some simple
drawing skills then, voila! There you have it. I was given a task to draw a kitchen
utensil sketch, and I am about to share with you of this journey of mine in producing
this attractive sketch.
First of all, I have almost zero knowledge about the kitchen utensils as I have never
in my life cooked an actual meal before. Except if frying an egg counts. I thought it
would be difficult for me to choose one but surprisingly, I had my eyes on the kitchen
utensil I want for the first five seconds I stepped into the kitchen. It is the smooth
looking wooden rice scoop. I was required to use all my five senses on the kitchen
utensil so I will explain to you about the experience. It was brown in colour with
wooden texture, smooth as it was polished, totally tasteless because it was cleaned
after being used every time, definitely odourless and the only thing that can be heard
from is my mother nagging at me not to damage it. The purpose of the wooden rice
scoop is to scoop rice. Yes it is that simple. But my mother uses it as a soup paddle
sometimes. As for the reason why I chose it is because every utensil in the kitchen is
made from steel and the colour silver looks really boring to me. This wooden rice
scoop gave me a feeling of being closer to the nature.
After deciding and thinking it through, I proceeded to start on my sketching. The
outlines of the sketch were drawn with a mechanical pencil while the shadings were
done with a 2B pencil. The one I used for my form 5 SPM papers. It was not that
difficult as it was all done free handed not because I was lazy, but because I prefer
sketching it free hand. My workspace was terribly messy when I started my sketch
but it did not affect the work progress as it is always this untidy. The sketch was
done is less than forty minutes and I would not say it was easy.
To make my sketch looks more appealing, I spent another fifteen minutes staring at
it wondering how to improve it, and then, I gave up. While I was scrolling through
Instagram, a picture caught my attention. It was taken with a cartoon filter which
makes the picture looks as if it was a sketch. I did the same and I was able to shade
my sketch patently. There were mistakes made during the process. But it was okay
all thanks to my Faber-Castel eraser. Several attempts later my sketch was all neat
and done.
In a nutshell, sketching can be done quick and easily without any complicated
steps. But in my case, it actually took me an hour to finish it because during the
process I had numerous breaks for snacks and social media which I would like to
avoid doing it again for of my assignments in the future. I have to say I was slightly
disappointed with the sketch as it was not as good as I expected it to be but I do feel
4. successful and satisfied. Even though I had a hard time maintaining my focus, but I
managed to accomplish what I started. If I were given a chance to redo such
interesting task and have such experience, I would honestly choose to do it again as
I really love drawing.
