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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

1. How to Study Mathematics
INTRODUCTION
Why aren't you getting better grades in mathematics? Do you feel that you have put in
all the time on it that can be expected of you and that you are still not getting results?
Or are you just lazy? If you are lazy, this material is not intended for you. But if you
have been trying and your grades still don't show your ability, or if you have been
getting good grades but still feel that the mathematics does not mean very much to
you, it is very likely that you do not know how to study effectively. This material aims
to help you to study mathematics effectively.
Some of you, may feel that you have successful study methods of your own different
from the ones described here. In that case, you need not feel you must change your
methods, although you might profit from comparing your methods with these.
On the other hand, some of you may feel that the suggestions on the following pages
are over-ambitious - that they would require more time and effort than you are
prepared to give. You will probably be right. We cannot expect to do everything to
perfection, but we can do the best we are able. Out of the suggestions offered, you
can pick the ones that may help you most, and as you find your work improving, you
may be able to try further suggestions. So scoff if you wish at these ambitious
suggestions, but then give some of them a try, a fair try, and watch the results.
HOMEWORK
There is a common misconception that homework is primarily something to eventually
hand in to the teacher. Actually, the homework is first and foremost a means of
learning fundamental ideas and processes in mathematics, and of developing habits of
neatness and accuracy. What is passed in to the teacher is only a by-product of that
learning process. The following four-step routine is a suggestion for making your
homestudy effective:
1. Get oriented. Take a few minutes to think back, look over your notes, and look over
the book to see clearly what ideas you have been working on.
2. Line up the ideas. Think about the ideas, laws, and methods in the day's assignment
or lesson. Don't forget to familiarize yourself with any new words in your mathematics
vocabulary. Try to remind yourself of any warnings about errors to avoid that the
teacher might have mentioned. Go through any examples given to be sure you really
understand the concepts being illustrated.
2. 3. Do the assignment. Think about the ideas the exercises are illustrating. You should
be increasing your understanding as well as getting the answers. The following
pointers will help you do a better job:
a. Get the assignment accurately off the blackboard. Have a definite place in your
notebook where you write down the assignment or lesson. If you do not
understand the assignment, don't hesitate to ask.
b. Follow the directions.
c. Work neatly and accurately.
d. Show your complete work, not just the answer. This will help you and your
teacher when you are checking through for errors.
e. Always check back to be sure you have done all simple arithmetic correctly.
f. Do the work promptly before you have forgotten all the instructions.
g. If you get stuck, don't just give up! Look back at the book and your notes for
ideas related to the problem. If your work on a problem seems to be
completely confused, it sometimes helps to discard your paper entirely and
start afresh. If you still can't clear your thinking, ask the teacher about the
problems as soon as possible.
4. Help someone else, if you can. There is no better way to learn a topic than by
trying to teach it! Also, it is often helpful to call upon a classmate when you do not
understand a problem. Often, they are able to explain the concept to you as well (if
not better than) the teacher.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR ERRORS HELP YOU LEARN
What do you do when an answer is wrong in your homework, or on a test? Do you
throw it away and forget it-and then make the same mistake the next time? If you are
wise, you will make those errors teach you something. Here's what you can do:
1. Analyze the error to see if you can find what you did wrong.
2. If it is a careless error and you really knew how to do the work correctly, make a
note of it, and if you find that you keep making careless errors frequently, start
working more carefully.
3. If you can't find where your error is, ask the teacher or a classmate to help you.
4. Keep a page in your notebook entitled, "Warning: Errors to Avoid." On the same
page write a description of the corrected way to do that kind of exercise, being sure
to emphasize the important idea behind it.
CLASSWORK: HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME IN CLASS
3. 1. Get ready. In the minute of two before the class gets started, think over what you
have been working on recently.
2. Have all necessary equipment: book, pencils or pens, notebook, homework
assignment.
3. Take down the assignment promptly and accurately.
4. Concentrate. This takes an effort if you are the kind whose mind tends to wander.
5. Ask questions when you do not understand.
6. Listen to the questions and answers of others in the class. When another pupil is
answering a question, think how you would answer the question.
7. Take part in the class discussion.
8. Do not write at the wrong time. When you are taking notes, be sure you do not miss
anything that is said while you are doing so. When taking notes, there are two
conflicting things you must try to do. One is to make your notes complete and
accurate enough to be valuable to you later. The other is to make your notes brief
enough so that you can continue to listen to what is being said in class.
HOW TO USE THE TEXTBOOK
1. Use the index and glossary at the back of the book, especially when you have
forgotten the meaning of a word.
2. When your book gives an example to illustrate an idea, analyze the example
carefully for the ideas behind it instead of just trying to make your exercises look like
the example.
3. If you can't do an excercise, reread the explanatory material in the book and/or go
over your class notes.
4. Make the most of the study helps at the end of each chapter.
HOW TO REVIEW FOR TESTS
1. Start reviewing far enough in advance so you have time to do a careful unhurried
job, and still are able to go to bed early the night before the exam.
2. Be sure to go through your notes and the examples that are there. If they don't
make sense to you, you haven't taken enough notes!
4. 3. If there are some formulas for which you are responsible, make a list of them and
then practice saying them, or writing them.
4. Use the review materials at the end of each chapter. If you are having trouble on a
problem, go back to that section in the book and rework some problems there.
5. If you were the teacher, what questions would you ask on the test? Prepare yourself
for those questions.
6. Since it is said that "practice makes perfect", one of the better ways of studying for
a test is to do some problems that were previously assigned to you. go over your
homework to be sure you understand the procedure you used in each section.
7. Get a good night's rest the night before the exam!
8. DON'T WORRY!
HOW TO TAKE TESTS
1. When you take a test, have the right attitude - take pride in doing the best job you
can. Don't try to "get by" with doing as little as possible. Have confidence in your own
ability.
2. Be serious and concerned enough about the test to do your best, but don't worry to
the point of anxiety. Fear alone can make a person do poorly on a test, regardless of
his ability and knowledge.
3. Have all necessary equipment.
4. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. Read carefully and listen carefully for any special
instructions, such as where answers are to be written, any changes or corrections, etc.
5. Look over the whole test quickly at the start and, unless you are required to do the
questions in the order given, do the ones you are sure of first.
6. If you are unable to answer a question, leave it and go on to another, coming back
to the hard one later. Often, with a fresh start, you will suddenly see much better
what to do.
7. Be careful to show clearly what you are doing. Remember that the teacher is not a
mind-reader, and your grade may depend on whether or not the teacher can see from
your work that you understand what you are doing.
8. Work neatly. It makes a good impression on the teacher!
5. 9. Check back as you go along for accuracy. Careless errors can make a great deal of
difference in your score.
10. With the right attitude and careful preparation for a test you probably will do well
on the exam.
11. Remember: The one or two hours of the test are but brief moments in your life
span so DON'T PANIC!
