Physics of music for musicians, architects, and science students: Designing a multi-level platform for an undergraduate course
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This presentation will describe the development of a new course in the Physics of Music at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario. While the creation of the course was spurred on by the opening of a new School of Architecture in 2013 and the desire to provide an elective containing acoustics for that program, the project also has the added challenges of: developing a course that is available to music students (many of whom have little or no science background), creating a course that is an attractive elective for students across campus, initiating a course that meets the elective requirements for engineering students, and building a course that contains sufficient physics so that it may be cross-listed as a physics course. The presentation will outline the specifics of each of the required parameters and give specifics as to the multi-level project choices within the course that have been developed to allow the different student constituencies to satisfy their pedagogical needs. Also addressed will be the requisite teaching methods used to allow on-line participation, while still encouraging and requiring attendance at the weekly lectures.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
