1. The document discusses the importance of using correct grammar when making definitions. It provides examples of definitions with and without grammatical errors.
2. Key aspects of a proper definition are identified, including stating the term, class, and differentiating characteristics. Common errors like circular and "is where" definitions are explained.
3. Guidelines are given for constructing accurate definitions using proper grammar, such as keeping the class general enough and avoiding unnecessary details. Readers are encouraged to have a firm grasp of grammar fundamentals.

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

20.
21. 1. When your writing contains a term that
may be key to the readers’ understanding
and that term could likely be unfamiliar
to them.
“Astronomy refers to Parallax as the difference in
direction of a celestial object as seen by an
observer from two widely separated points.”
22. 2. When a commonly used word or phrase has layers of
subjectivity or evaluation in the way you choose to
define it.
"Throughout this essay, the term classic gaming will refer
specifically to playing video games produced for the Atari, the
original Nintendo Entertainment System, and any systems in-
between." Note: Not everyone may define "classic gaming"
within this same time span; therefore, it is important to define
your terms.
23. 3. When the etymology (origin and history) of
a common word might prove interesting or
will help expand upon a point.
"January (in Latin, Ianuarius) is named after
Janus, the god of beginnings and transitions in
Roman mythology.'
24.
25. 1. Avoid defining with "X is when" and "X is where"
statements. These introductory adverb phrases
should be avoided.
• (Avoid this) Depression is when there is a persistent
feeling of sadness and loss of interest on things you
normally enjoy doing.
• (Revised) Depression is a mood disorder that causes
a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest on
things you normally enjoy doing.
26. 2. Define a noun with a noun, a verb
with a verb, and so forth.
• A smartphone (noun) is a mobile
device (noun) that combines cellular
and mobile computing functions into
one unit.
27. 3. Do not define a word by mere repetition or merely restating the
word. This is called circular definition wherein a word is defined
by using another in its definition.
Example:
• (Circular) "Rhyming poetry consists of lines that contain end
rhymes." In this example, rhyming poetry is defined using the
word rhyme which is also the same with the word being defined.
This is confusing for readers.
• (Revised) “Rhyming poetry consists of lines that contain two or
more words with similar-sounding final syllables.”
28. 4. Define a word using simple
terms/words or familiar contexts.
Your definition should not lead your
reader towards looking up more
words to understand your definition.
29. 5. Keep the class part of your definition
small but adequate. It should be large
enough to include all members of the
term you are defining but no larger.
Avoid adding personal details to
definitions.
30. Directions: Identify the missing parts
and patterns to make grammatical
structures connected to making
definitions
31. 1. Circular definition is a definition that is circular.
2. Jail is where accused people awaiting trial or
convicted criminals go.
3. A horse is a member of the Equus species.
4. Synchronous learning is online or distance
education.
5. Asynchronous learning is a type of learning.
32. 1. Circular definition is a definition that is circular. (Class and
Differentiating characteristics )
2. Jail is where accused people awaiting trial or convicted criminals
go. (Class)
3. A horse is a member of the Equus species.
(Differentiating characteristics )
4. Synchronous learning is online or distance education.
(Class and Differentiating characteristics )
5. Asynchronous learning is a type of learning. (Class and
Differentiating characteristics )
One simple but effective way to define is to put a concept or a word to be defined in a general class and then provide enough details to distinguish it from others in the same classification. A formal definition usually consists of three parts.
