This document outlines a module on computer applications for architecture students. It will introduce students to 3D modeling software including 3DS Max and Rhinoceros. Over 14 weeks, students will attend lectures, tutorials and complete self-directed study. They will work on 3 projects applying their 3D skills - an initial architectural model, photorealistic renderings with materials/lighting, and a 3D animation. Students will be assessed through these projects and a portfolio demonstrating their skills. The module aims to develop students' 3D modeling abilities and understanding of architectural visualization tools.

With the goal of lessening barriers to the learning of
advanced programming techniques, we put into place a trial which required students to get involved with online communities of programmers. Using a course assignment on software architecture styles, students had study a problem, find basis for a tentative approach, and discuss it online with programmers. The expectation was that students would find motivation for their studies from both the contact with communities of programmers, and from having to study and reflect upon their problem well enough to be able to draw the interest of members of those communities. We present the strategy we used, the developments and outcomes, and ideas for further application of this approach.

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

4. Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities Portfolio (TGCP)
The Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities Portfolio is a document that collates all assessments produced in
a module and reflects a student’s acquisition of the Module Learning Outcomes and Taylor’s
Graduate Capabilities. Each student is to develop an ePortfolio, a web-based portfolio in the form of a
personal academic blog. The ePortfolio is developed progressively for all modules taken throughout
Semesters 1 to 5, and culminates with a final Portfolio in printed form produced in the final semester.
The printed Portfolio must encapsulate the acquisition of Programme Learning Outcomes and
Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities, and showcase the distinctiveness and identity of the student as a
graduate of the programme.

The module uses the Student-centered Learning (SCL)approach. Utilization of SCL embodies most of
the principles known to improve learning and to encourage student’s participation. SCL requires
students to be active, responsible participants in their own learning and instructors are to facilitate the
learning process. Various teaching and learning strategies such as experiential learning, problem-based
learning, site visits, group discussions, presentations, working in group and etc. can be employed to
facilitate the learning process. In SCL, students are expected to be:
active in their own learning;
self-directed to be responsible to enhance their learning abilities;
able to cultivate skills that are useful in today’s workplace;
active knowledge seekers;
active players in a team.

Late Submission PenaltyLate Submission PenaltyLate Submission PenaltyLate Submission Penalty
The School imposes a late submission penalty for work submitted late without a valid reason e.g. a
medical certificate.... Any work submitted after the deadline (which may have been extended) shall have
the percentage grade assigned to the work on face value reduced by 10% for the first day and 5% for
each subsequent day late. A weekend counts as one (1) day.
Individual members of staff shall be permitted to grant extensions for assessed work that they have set if
they are satisfied that a student has given good reasons.
Absenteeism at intermediate or final presentation will result in zero mark for that presentation.
The Board of Examiners may overrule any penalty imposed and allow the actual mark achieved to be
used if the late submission was for a good reason.

PlagiarismPlagiarismPlagiarismPlagiarism
Plagiarism, which is an attempt to present another person’s work as your own by not acknowledging the
source, is a serious case of misconduct which is deemed unacceptable by the University.
"Work" includes written materials such as books, journals and magazine articles or other papers and also
includes films and computer programs. The two most common types of plagiarism are from published
materials and other students’ works.
1. Published Materials
In general, whenever anything from someone else’s work is used, whether it is an idea, an opinion or
the results of a study or review, a standard system of referencing should be used. Examples of
plagiarism may include a sentence or two, or a table or a diagram from a book or an article used
without acknowledgement.
Serious cases of plagiarism can be seen in cases where the entire paper presented by the student is
copied from another book, with an addition of only a sentence or two by the student.
While the former can be treated as a simple failure to cite references, the latter is likely to be viewed
as cheating in an examination.
Though most assignments require the need for reference to other peoples’ works, in order to avoid
plagiarism, students should keep a detailed record of the sources of ideas and findings and ensure
that these sources are clearly quoted in their assignment. Note that plagiarism also refers to materials
obtained from the Internet too.
2. Other Students’ Works
Circulating relevant articles and discussing ideas before writing an assignment is a common practice.
However, with the exception of group assignments, students should write their own papers.
Plagiarising the work of other students into assignments includes using identical or very similar
sentences, paragraphs or sections. When two students submit papers that are very similar in tone
and content, both are likely to be penalised.
