In the first class period, the focus on AI ethics transitions students from thinkingabout the details of machine learning algorithms to thinking about the impact of AI on society.The second lecture on AI policy then shifts focus from thinking about AI’s impacts to actingresponsibly with AI. The structure and core content of each lecture are outlined below.Lecture 1: “Ethics and Artificial Intelligence”The first class period in the module contains the most conventional lecture-style presenting of thetwo lectures

use AI in education was addressedand researchers were interested in applying AI techniques to education, like Khanmigo inKhan Academy [21]. Many studies showed the positive effect of using AI in STEM, non-STEM, and online education. One of the reasons behind this is that using AI is customizable,where teachers can produce a personalized plan for each student depending on theirimprovement needs. Another reason is fast response, where you are a click away from gettingyour answer. Figure 1: AI types [71]. One promising and most common branch of AI has attracted researchers and developers tobenefit in education, which is Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). GenAI is a branchof machine learning that

We do not plan to have all three facultyrotate through to teach all three courses within a semester due to practical reasons.We will add two questions to the survey. Similar to Questions 21, 25, and 26, we will add aquestion to ask if the students recommend using the video lectures. We will also ask the studentsto rate the video quality, as that is known to affect effectiveness. Based on the students’responses and in an effort to generate a

One observation still under consideration questions the de-coupled rubric as an incomplete solution to detaching student emotion to their graded assignments.While fewer students complained about missing points on the de-coupled rubric, student reactionsto the second paper seemed heightened. De-coupling appeared to delay student connections to the“core criteria” and seemed more frustrated by penalties applied in the second paper.Assessment StrategyAn assessment plan is necessary to evaluate, and likely improve, the intended emotional shift andperformance improvement sought in the de-coupled rubric concept.

The full AI output is included in Appendix 3. Four main themes emerged withincreased prominence in post-course responses: 1. A stronger focus on growth and learning, often accompanied by more detailed and specific strategies. 2. An emotional shift toward viewing failure as a positive and essential component of personal growth. 3. A clearer articulation of resilience, emphasizing problem-solving and sustained motivation. 4.

Each turbine was design to extend 400 feet above the surface ofthe sea and the wind farm was to cover 24 square miles of ocean about five miles off the Massachusettscoast near Hyannis Port and Nantucket Sound.

These correlations suggestedthat students with greater self-efficacy tended to anticipate better outcomes and were more likelyto have clear career choice goals. In contrast, the weakest relationship was between self-efficacyand vocational interests (ρ=0.151), indicating a limited direct influence of self-efficacy onstudents' vocational interests in construction-related careers. This weak association suggestedthat self-efficacy alone may not directly translate into an increased interest in the constructionfield, pointing to a potential gap in how students perceive the
