Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.
1. The Keys to Success as a Teaching
Assistant
Presented by Amy Hollingsworth
The University of Akron
2. Who am I?
• Undergrad in Biology, Masters in Education,
PhD in Secondary Education with an emphasis
on STEM Education
• Six years as a Biology Laboratory Coordinator
• Trained and worked with over 150 graduate
TAs
3. First things first. What should I call my
advisor and co-workers?
• Professor, Instructor, Mr., Miss, Dr., just ask.
• Err on the side of formality, until you are told
otherwise.
• Good questions to ask as you get to know your peers
and mentors – What is your research interest? Where
are you from originally? What do you like to do in your
spare time? (usually met with laughter)
4. Why am I here?
• Student, teacher, and something in between
• Socialization
• Professional Development
• Becoming a teaching assistant entails learning
and performing tasks, the acquisition and
nurturing of relationships with mentors and new
colleagues, and the early stages of developing
an individualized approach to teaching
5. And Research has Shown..
• Graduate Students' Teaching Experiences
Improve Their Methodological Research Skills.
6. Things to ask your department
• How do I go about…
• balancing graduate school and teaching,
• giving and accepting criticism,
• handling upset students,
• classroom ethics,
• appropriateness of making exceptions to rules,
• saying "no" to students,
• establishing authority.
7. Shifting thoughts
• Perry (1968) describes an individual's
development as moving away from a
"right/wrong“ dichotomous approach, to a
formulation, recognition, and commitment to
one's personal perspective amongst of
opinion
8. Record everything
• Keep good notes
• Journaling or blogging
• Zotero or RefWorks
• Evernote, Google Groups/Sites
• Scan and enter every slip of paper
• Keep your CV up to date
• Record other TAs, practice your teaching, record
yourself
9.
10.
11. Working with Your Advisor
• Ask EXACTLY what is expected of you –
– time in lab,
– time teaching,
– time writing
– Ask about formats
– Your advisor is trying to juggle teaching, research, and
service with a life – don’t take their moods personally
12. Find a Mentor
• Even if no one is “assigned” to you
• Ask your advisor for a peer mentor
• Surround yourself with success
13. Embrace things that are
uncomfortable
• When things feel uncomfortable to you, there
is a reason why.
• Dialogue with yourself
• Look for understanding
• Try new things – even outside your field
• Talk to everyone – you never know when the
AHA! moment might be.
14. Students
• Experience with students will be completely
different than your own journey
• Diversity is more than just nationality, ethnicity,
or skin color.
• EVERYONE has a different story, a different
journey, and a different viewpoint. That doesn’t
make them wrong, it makes the different!
15. The Future Professoriate
• Graduate students may be described as the
"ambassadors of our disciplines"( Nyquist
and Wulff 1996)
• Go forth, and make your discipine proud!
