Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The purpose of this study was to understand why Chinese came to Canada to study for a Master of Education degree in an international student program at an Ontario university and what their experiences were in the program. We collected data from nine Chinese students in the program through one-on-one interviews. Research participants thought Canada had a safer environment than the United States, Canada had a better academic reputation than Australia and Britain, and Canada was less expensive than other developed countries. Most participants believed they fulfilled their purpose of leaving China for more education. Based on the findings, we made recommendations on how to improve the program and on further research in the future.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
