This promotes a crispness inrequirements formulation and fosters singularity and precision.Figure 9: VerificationThe author found that despite providing quality check tables (that contained elements thatviolated a style guide rule), some students had difficulties in using them to improve modelquality. The introduction of an on-demand validation suite (See Table 1) significantly improvedproject quality (no projects have been submitted with violations since its introduction). It allowsthe codification of the quality checks and when the validation engine processes the rules,violating elements are identified within the model.

The introduction of Team-based learning (TBL) in the 1980s marked a significant shift inaddressing the challenges of large class settings in educational environments [1], [2]. Originally abusiness school innovation, TBL has now permeated various disciplines including engineering,medicine, and social sciences globally. Some courses, such as first-year engineering, maycombine TBL with project-based learning (PBL) to introduce students to common engineeringthemes such as design, sustainability, and ethics. Despite its wide-ranging benefits, TBL'seffectiveness can be inequitable for a variety of reasons, including free riders, imbalances in taskallocation, and more broad communication issues [3], [4].

It is desirable that the underlying NLP models do not expose theprivate information contained in the training data. However, de-identification methods even whenapplied correctly yield data that sometimes retains the risks of identification [13]. Because mostITSs have not been geared towards patients, privacy of the models and user data has not been amajor concern, therefore the research gap we intend to address is that of maintaining privacy whilemaintaining accuracy and low latency during NLP model training that may be computationallyintensive.2 Project
