1) The student's final magazine cover shows more professional progression compared to their preliminary task. The final cover uses a blacked-out studio and professional lighting for higher quality photos.
2) The student's photo editing skills improved, utilizing tools like healing, brightness/contrast adjustments, and hue/saturation to make the final photos more striking.
3) The layout of the final cover follows principles like rule of thirds and uses effective drop shadows, whereas the preliminary task lacked these elements and appeared unfinished.

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 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

Evaluation Question 7
1. Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary task, (college magazine) what do
you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Just in appearance, you can see the progression between the preliminary task and
my final front cover, my preliminary task is very amateur looking whilst my final cover
looks professional due to use specific elements when creating my front page, such
as using the studio with professional photography lighting.
Firstly, I have produced more professional looking photos as the surroundings I used
were designed to have pictures take, as the photography has a blacked out studio
with professional photography lighting which enables the image to have more impact
even more editing. Also, when I photographed my secondary model I was outside
however compared to my preliminary task I was able to use the natural lighting to my
advantage and even if it didn’t come out as it should, I could’ve edited the brightness
by adjusting the brightness and contrast in Photoshop. On my preliminary task, I
didn’t edit the image too much, just airbrushed her skin whilst on my front cover I
have used the Healing tool to airbrush the model’s skin, adjust the brightness and
contrast and also adjust the hue and saturation which has impacted the final image
as it stands out more and is more striking than the image on my preliminary task. My
study of rule of thirds has implemented my final cover as the shot I used was a close
shot and then cropped the dead space out of the image so only the relevant amount
of the dead space was visible to allow the model to fill the page. On the other hand,
my preliminary task and the image I used included a mid-shot without any cropping,
which lead to dead space which made the task look unprofessional and incomplete.
This is my ancillary project at
the start of the year, whilst I
was still trying to figure out
Photoshop.
This is my final front cover,
after getting used to
Photoshop and learning how
to use drop shadows to impact
the final product.
2. My colour scheme on my final product compliments the model and her casual
clothing and stands out from the background due to the bright colours against the
black background whereas in my preliminary task the background colour and the
colour scheme is the same just a darker shade and didn’t make much of an impact
on the audience and was difficult to read. My colour scheme is now consistent
throughout all pages with minor changes such as having a darker grey on the double
page spread which differs slightly from my original colour scheme but works well,
after doing research I decided on my colour scheme and it turned out to be nearly
the same as Vibe’s colour scheme but mine had a completely different impact as the
colours create a binary opposition between the genre and the colours used. I also
used drop shadows on the text, which made it stand out even more and made the
magazine look more professional, a lot more professional in contrast to my
preliminary task. The drop shadows on my preliminary task tend to blend in with the
text instead of making it stand out, it blends in because of the colour of the text being
a dark blue/grey colour however in my final task I have used drop shadows
effectively as I have used it on the white masthead which will stand out because of
the differentiation in colour, I have also used it to make my colour lines stand out
against the print of the models shirt which gives the front page a professional and
artistic look.
The layout is also more structured as I had only just learnt about the Gutenberg
design principle and hadn’t practiced it and seen how it was incorporated in actual
magazines until after doing my research of other magazines. I have followed the plan
of the design principle and common rules of a magazine layout, such as having the
magazine masthead placed or started in the primary optical are which is the top left
hand corner, I have done this with my final cover whereas with my preliminary task I
placed in the strong fallow area which is incorrect placement of the masthead and
makes the overall layout look unfinished as the masthead is over onto one side. It is
clear to see that my in depth understanding and concept of the Gutenberg design
principle has informed my progress as I was able to place certain aspects of my
media product in similar or the same places as actual magazines, such as Q.
I have developed further skills in uploading my work from a camera or my phone, I
had previously used a card reader to upload my group’s pictures which was a joint
effort as we all took pictures and uploaded our own pictures that we’d taken to our
computer and then last person was to use the card reader had to delete them off the
card so no one else could use them. When creating my media product, I took the
pictures by myself and was only with the model, meaning I had to upload my pictures
solely to my computer and then delete them off the card reader without interrupting
anybody else’s images. Additionally, I had to upload the pictures of the secondary
model from my iPhone 4S to the computer, which was simple as I knew which
pictures I would use which was simple. I have developed these skills as I had to
figure out how to use a card reader as it was a few months since I used one and I
had help from people in the group.
