Lesson 2 adds the concept of ostinatos, layers, and polyrhythms. Lesson 3 has students write rhythms for London Underground station names. Lesson 4 has groups perform and critique compositions. Lesson 5 repeats the performance and feedback process. The overall goal is for students to compose and perform short collaborative songs using concepts from the lessons.
Universal Design for Learning, Co-Designing with Students.Damian T. Gordon
The document discusses Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and how to co-design educational experiences with students. It presents UDL using a systems model of inputs, processes, and outputs similar to human perception, cognition, and motor skills. Examples of how instructors can involve students in co-designing their educational experience are provided, such as allowing choice in content or activities, creating accessible materials in multiple formats, and developing self-assessment tools. The goal is to incorporate student feedback to create more inclusive and engaging learning experiences.
The document discusses microservices, providing examples and characteristics. Microservices are small, independent services that each perform a specific task and communicate through lightweight protocols. They allow for scalability, flexibility and organic development. However, microservices also introduce more complexity, communication issues and challenges in management and testing across distributed systems. When designing microservices, the appropriate level of granularity must be determined to balance functionality and performance. [/SUMMARY]
Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style where resources are accessed via standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. Resources can represent both concrete state like a database record or abstract state like a service element. REST services expose resources through a uniform interface and are stateless, cacheable, and layered.
This document discusses three stages of cloud adoption and serverless computing. It describes the stages as: 1) "Try It Out" where organizations migrate workloads to the cloud without significant changes, 2) "The Cloud Way" where organizations embrace cloud-native design and leverage more cloud services, and 3) "Serverless Computing" where organizations build using functions and server management is abstracted away. It outlines benefits of serverless like automatic scaling, faster deployment, and lower costs, but also weaknesses like vendor lock-in, loss of server control, and challenges with state management. The future of serverless computing is uncertain but it is likely the trend towards more abstraction and vendor control will continue.
This document discusses identity management and security in cloud computing. It covers key topics such as:
- Centralized identity management provides benefits like a single user identity, consistent security policies, and reduced costs.
- Authentication establishes a user's identity through credentials. Popular methods include JSON web tokens (JWTs) which use digital signatures to authenticate API requests without authenticating each one individually.
- JWTs work by having a client authenticate once to get a token, then include that token in subsequent requests to prove identity without further authentication. The token contains identity claims and is digitally signed by an authentication authority.
This document discusses containers and Docker. It begins by explaining that cloud infrastructures comprise virtual resources like compute and storage nodes that are administered through software. Docker is introduced as a standard way to package code and dependencies into portable containers that can run anywhere. Key benefits of Docker include increased efficiency, consistency, and security compared to traditional virtual machines. Some weaknesses are that Docker may not be suitable for all applications and large container management can be difficult. Interesting uses of Docker include malware analysis sandboxes, isolating Skype sessions, and managing Raspberry Pi clusters with Docker Swarm.
Cloud computing provides on-demand access to shared computing resources via the internet on a pay-per-use basis. It offers several benefits including simplified customer acquisition, elastic demand that scales with usage, and utility pricing where customers only pay for what they use. However, security, lack of standardization, and unclear legal responsibilities if a provider fails present challenges. Cloud computing impacts businesses by challenging traditional IT practices and acting as either a disruptive innovation or additional outsourcing option.
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot created by Anthropic to be helpful, harmless, and honest. It uses a transformer algorithm trained on millions of text conversations to identify patterns and relationships between words. While ChatGPT appears intelligent in its responses, it does not truly understand language and can be fooled. Several tools like GPT-ZERO exist to detect ChatGPT responses with high accuracy, but its answers can be modified to evade detection. The document recommends assignment designs that require skills beyond ChatGPT's abilities, like judgment, current events, group work, or multimedia submissions.
This document provides an introduction to argumentation and logical reasoning. It discusses how to justify beliefs by presenting evidence and explores different types of arguments. Some key points:
- Evidence such as facts, documentation, and expert testimony can be used to justify beliefs and claims. The person making a claim has the burden of proof.
- Arguments follow basic logical rules like identity, non-contradiction, and excluded middle. They involve presenting a claim, evidence for the claim, and accepting or rejecting the claim.
- Common logical fallacies that invalidate arguments are discussed, like appeals to probability, false equivalences, and slippery slopes. Different types of arguments like deductive and inductive are also introduced.

4. The Purpose of Exams
In addition, examinations provide lecturers with a guarantee
that the work being assessed is entirely the student’s own work.
NB how well you do in exams is up to you!
Even when students have studied a course thoroughly they can
fail to do themselves justice in the exam through:
– inadequate/ inefficient revision
– poor exam technique
6. Revision Plan
For each module, list the topics you need to cover
Estimate how much time you have left to revise
Assign topics as either topics you enjoy or do not enjoy
Divide out your remaining time better these topics
Alternating between topics you enjoy, and those you don’t
Create a master timetable – BE REALISTIC
Take into account all your other commitments e.g. employment,
family etc.
Tick off the topics as you complete them
Pat yourself on the back frequently by looking back on what
you have already covered.

SUMMARISE
– A good starting point is to summarise the notes
you have on each topic:
Try to reduce your notes to key words and phrases.
This will form the basis of your revision notes.
Reduce your notes further so that information fits on one
side of A4 or an index card (portable).

remember because it can be stored with acoustic
encoding.
Example:
– In fourteen hundred and ninety-two Columbus sailed the Ocean
Blue.
– 30 Days has September, April, June, and November. All the rest
have 31, except February.
– "i" before "e," except after "c," or in sounding like "ay" as in
"neighbor" or "weigh."
33. Revision Tips
THE METHOD OF LOCI
– The Method of Loci is a mnemonic device that dates
back to Ancient Greek times. They would use this to
assist them when memorizing a speech.
– Example:
You have to imagine a place that you are very familiar with.
Then you imagine all the possible locations in that place, or all
possible situations. It could help if you put everything in a
specific order.
– Say you were telling someone about a house. You would have to
be very familiar with that house and everything in it. And in order
to make telling someone about this house easier you would have
to think about it in some kind of order. You could start at the
basement, then move up to the main floor, and then move to the
second floor.
44. Revision Tips
PEG-WORD SYSTEM
– The Peg-Word System can be used for memorizing an ordered list
of words or the specific numbers associated with the words.
– Example:
1.bun
2.shoe
3.tree
4.door
5.hive
6.sticks
7.heaven
8.gate
9.line or shine or vine
10.hen
45. Revision Tips
NUMBER-LETTER SYSTEM
– The Number-Letter System is very similar to the Peg- Word System,
because it, too, is a method of association. The only difference is that this
method allows you to remember things by associating them with similarities
of the number it is at.
– Example:
1.= t (there is one downstroke in the letter t)
2.= n (there are two downstrokes in the letter n)
3.= m (there are three downstrokes in the letter m)
4.= r (the last letter in four is r)
5.= l (the Roman number 50 is L)
6.= sh (the word six has begins with an x)
7.= k (the number seven can be turned around to look like part of the letter k)
8.= f (a cursive f looks like an 8)
9.= p (a p flipped looks like a 9)
10.= z, s (think of zero)

MARKERS COMMENTS
– This gets pretty repetitive towards the end
– Manages to avoid contact with the question altogether.
– Wanders around - gets the point here and there but then veers off it.
– Not clear what the point is. The essay has no structure or organisation. No
relevant literature is cited nor is the question addressed.
– Has very slight acquaintance with the subject, but completely fails to
address the question or develop an argument .
– Too general. No readings are mentioned.
– Doesn't really examine the views of the different schools of thought on this,
but has some ideas.
– Specific names should have been mentioned. Very simplistic
– Repetitive, fractured answer. - Largely missed the point.
– This makes some good points about [...] but really does not attempt to
answer the question.
– Not being able to copy Verba's name correctly doesn't inspire confidence.
