Frankenstein – Day Two
CSCL 3461 – 25 January 2017
1
Creation and Creator
the act of creation and the obligations of the creator are central to this section
first in Victor’s regret for bringing his creature into the world, where he “wished to extinguish that life which I had so thoughtlessly bestowed” (87)
then in the creature’s words, where he asks “[h]ow dare you sport thus with life?” (92)
finally in Victor’s contemplation of “what the duties of a creator towards his creature were” (94)
Creation and Creator - Questions
Why is Victor almost immediately stricken with regret for creating the creature?
Why does the creature consider Victor to be sporting with life, and is he so cavalier?
What are Victor’s obligations towards the creature?
Nature
nature, a constant presence throughout the novel, receives direct attention in this section
specifically in relation to its salutary effects on Victor: “These sublime and magnificent scenes afforded me the greatest consolation that I was capable of receiving. They elevated me from all littleness of feeling; and although they did not remove my grief, they subdued and tranquilised it” (90)
Nature - Questions
Why do these scenes have such a soothing effect on Victor?
How might his relative insignificance in the face of grand nature allow him some perspective on his situation?
How might nature function only as a distraction from William’s murder?
Crime and Criminals
crime, and those who commit it, appear frequently in these chapters
first in the suggestion that “[n]othing in human shape could have destroyed that fair child. He was the murderer!” (75)
then in Victor’s suspicions that “the daemon, who had (I did not for a minute doubt) murdered my brother, also in this hellish sport have betrayed the innocent to death and ignominy?” (81)
finally in his fears that “the monster whom I had created should perpetrate some new wickedness” (86)
Crime and Criminals - Questions
Why is Victor so sure that the creature killed William, in the absence of any real evidence?
What might the creature’s potential framing of Justine suggest about his potential for higher-level thinking?
Why is Victor so sure that further crimes are to follow?
Barbarity
the notion of barbarity appears frequently as well, first in Victor’s lamentations about man’s supposed superiority: “why does man boast of sensibilities superior to those apparent in the brute; it only renders them more necessary beings” (91)
later in the creature’s reflections on his treatment by those he encounters, which he calls “the barbarity of man” (98)
Barbarity - Questions
Why does humanity consider itself superior to simpler beings?
How are humans considered to be “necessary beings”?
How does the treatment that the creature receives point out the barbarity of man?

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
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

in it.”
--Vasily Rozanov (1891)

has done for the Underground Man:

in proportion to
the clearness of [one’s] consciousness.”

proportion as our sciences and arts have

25. “[A]s soon as we experience
the misery of culture
we long to be back where we began.”
--Friedrich Schiller (1796)
26. “I have never been able to understand the idea
that only one-tenth of the people
should be given higher education,
while the remaining nine-tenths should serve merely
as material and means to that end...
I do not wish to think...
otherwise than with the faith
that all the ninety millions of us Russians...
will some day be educated, humanized, and happy.”
--Fyodor Dostoevsky (1876)
