Talia Matharu conducted a research project to investigate if a relationship exists between the BMI of college students aged 16-19 and the sugar content in drinks they purchase. She took measurements and had participants complete a lifestyle questionnaire. Her analysis using Spearman's rank order correlation found a very weak correlation between BMI and sugary drink consumption, which was not what she had hypothesized. She acknowledges limitations like sample size and recommends improving specificity and conducting longitudinal research.

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

7. Acknowledgements
Thank you to the 50 participants how
participated in my study. Whom without my
study wouldn’t have existed. Also my teacher
Paul Cox for imparting his wisdom with me,
enabling me to design and carry out this
investigation.
8. Introduction
The aim of my project was to investigate if there was a
relationship between college students aged 16-19 consuming
high sugar content drinks and their BMI.
I chose this as my project aim as at college I studied nutrition
in sport and science and developed a real interest in the
subject. Weight and obesity is also a rising issue among
society today, especially in young children and teenagers, it
has also be present in the media and on television. There was
a personal interest as well; as a person who doesn’t drink high
sugar content drink themselves, I wanted to see if it made a
difference to BMI.
The time scale of my project was…

10. Project hypothesis
If college students purchase high sugar content
drinks then they will have an increased BMI
compared to a person purchases water.
If the participant who purchase high sugar
content drinks regularly exercise (according to
government recommendation or more) then
this will have a negative effect of consumption
of high sugar content drinks and may be
mitigated.
11. Method
• Select 5 high sugar content drinks sold in the college shop, create a table showing the nutritional value per
500ml of drink.
• Create a excel document ready to record the height and weight of each participant and they drink they
purchased (see figures and tables 11). Also create a lifestyle questionnaire on www.surveymonkey.com
(see appendices 2 ).
• Produce a transcript for when you approach people asking them to be a part of the investigation (see
appendices 3).
• Set up a space with the scales and height measurements equipment to take the participants
measurements. Also with a laptop set up ready for the participants to take the lifestyle questionnaire.
• Approach people with the rehearsed script, if they respond say they will participate then take them to the
set up space and take their measurements and get them to complete questionnaire. This will need to be
done until 40 people agree to participate (20 purchasing water, 20 purchasing 1 of the 5 high sugar
content drinks.
• Once all the data has been collected, collect the findings from the questionnaire via the analyse data
section on www.surveymonkey.com (see figures and dates 1-10). Put all the measurements recorded of
the participant along with the drink they purchased into an excel document (see figures and tables 11)
• Once they have agreed to participate in my project I will take them to a room in which with their consent I
will measure there weight and height and record it (see figures and tables 11). After they will be asked to
complete a lifestyle questionnaire I have designed (see figures and tables 1-10).
• Using the excel document with measurements, create another excel document input data and work out
the spearman rank order correlation to see fit there is a relationship between the variables I am
investigating (BMI and consuming high sugar content drinks). (see figures and tables 12 and 13)
12. Data collection
• My data collection is of primary data, of which I am
collecting two types; quantitative and qualitative.
• The quantitative data obtained is the measurements of 40
participants height (cm) and weight (kg), which will be used
to calculate each participants BMI. The quantitative data is
collected to discover if a relationship exists between BMI
and consumption of sugared drinks.
• The qualitative data obtained is in the form of a lifestyle
questionnaire, in which there are 10 closed questions for
the participants to answer. The questionnaire is to help
support or explore the results of the quantitative data.
13. Data analysis
• To analyse my primary quantitative data I will be
using excel to investigate if a relationship
between BMI and consumption of high sugar
content drinks by using spearman rank order
correlation. The spearman's rank order will give
me a correlation number which will let me if I
have a Very Weak, Weak, Moderate, Strong or
Very Strong correlation.
• After this I will use my qualitative data to attempt
to explain the correlation or any anomalies with
the results.
14. Results
• The results from my investigation according to
spearman's rank order show there is a very
weak correlation between the BMI of
participants and the drinks they consume (see
figure and tables 12 and 13).
15. Discussion
• The results of my investigation should there
was a very weak correlation between BMI and
consumption of sugared drinks. These findings
were not what I was expecting to uncover. I
believe this could be down to the sample size
of my investigation, 40 subject isn't fully
representative of the 16-19 population.
16. Conclusion
• My aim was to investigate if a relationship exists
between the BMI of college students aged 16 to 19 and
the sugar content in the drinks they purchase. The
results is received where in complete contrast to what I
hypothesised at the onset of my investigation. One
reason it may not have resulted as I expected is
because I didn’t use an appropriate sample size, to
collect enough information to identify a trend within
the data. Also in hindsight, this type of investigation
should be longitudinal; sugar and diet are things that
do not have an immediate effect on a person, their
effects are seen over time.
17. Review 1/3
• My project aim was to identify if a relationship
existed, I believe my research did this as it
highlighted in the case of my investigation
there was a very weak relationship between
the two variables, although this wasn’t what I
had hypothesised. My aim also stated this was
to be investigated of college aged students
aged 16-19 which was the population group I
used.
18. Review 2/3
• I believe a strength of my research project was
the organisation of my data and how it was
presented.
• Another strength was learning and using excel
properly as a key part of data analyses (see
figures and tables 11 and 12).
19. Review 3/3
• I believe the population of my study was to wide,
as it included people who exercise regularly, play
sports and others how lived a fairly sedentary life
style. I think this may have an impact as to why
the results of the relationship between BMI and
consumption of sugared drinks should a very
weak correlation. An improvement I would have
made is to make my population for specific; look
into the relationship between BMI and the drinks
a sports person at Worthing college aged 16-19
or the drinks a Worthing college student who
doesn’t participate in regular sports/exercise
20. Future recommendations 1/5
• If my project was to be completed again I
would change the population; making it more
specific to either college students aged 16-19
that play sport or college students that don’t
engage in a sport. I would do this because I fell
my population scope was to large and varied
and this had some input as to why the
correlation between the two variables was
very weak.
21. Future recommendations 2/5
• The benefit of the proposal stated on the
pervious slide, to make the population sample
size larger and more specific and prosiest. This
would be a benefits as it would increase the
specificity of my findings.
22. Future recommendations 3/5
• My proposal for further research would be
carry out the method of the investigation I
created but then retake the BMI of the
subjects over a year period. If feel by doing a
longitudinal study it’s a better way of
measuring the on going affects of consuming
sugared drinks on BMI.
