Higher scores in Basic Determinism suggest that male students are moreinclined to see the world in terms of fixed rules and predictable outcomes, which might makethem less flexible in adapting to new or uncertain situations. Increased scores in ReligiousTraditionalism for male students indicate a stronger adherence to traditional religious beliefs andpractices, which could influence their moral and ethical decision-making processes.

The participants, comprising of eight males and four females, were in classes betweensophomore and senior year of their engineering major and were
meaningful conclusions, ML and MT algorithms are not necessarily diverse enough to beused in all situations. Furthermore, there are discussions that such applications struggle to adequately improve thequality of courses in the humanities. Many of the assessment tools have difficulty identifying highquality responses from low effort ones. In fact, open source AI chatbots can be used to trick MLgrading algorithms and remove the student from the feedback loop altogether. Thus, there arisesthe need for ML algorithms to detect ML submissions. This requires educators to invest time andenergy better diverted to course material and development to focus on the ethical ramification ofsuch problems.
