Abstract
Summary: \nThis talk will discuss how guided-inquiry experiments bridge the gap between the classroom and research laboratory through active learning and problem solving.\nAbstract: \nIn most undergraduate laboratory courses, students perform thoroughly tested experiments with proven results. These exercises do not necessarily represent a research laboratory experience where reaction outcomes are unknown and procedures are routinely optimized for higher yield and purity. This talk will focus on the role and impact of guided-inquiry learning in the undergraduate laboratory by highlighting two new experiments in the second year organic chemistry curriculum at the University of Toronto, which effectively bridges the gap between the classroom and research laboratory. These types of experiments are useful teaching tools across all Science disciplines as they give students the opportunity to experience the challenges of conducting scientific research while encouraging active learning through creative problem solving. The process of developing these new laboratory activities and select student experimental results will be briefly discussed. The impact of guided-inquiry experiments towards student learning will also be presented by sharing the data collected from student evaluations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
