Abstract
Post-secondary engineering students havedifficulty with course concepts due to disconnect betweentheory and practice. Due to its co-op program, Universityof Waterloo students are at a unique position of beingable to put course knowledge into practice shortly afterclassroom exposure. Through the hands-on experiencegained from co-op, students are able to better understandcourse concepts. Case studies serve to replicate thepractical context provided by co-op and work, givingstudents an opportunity to see the real-life utilization ofthe concepts learned from lectures. Our exposure to casesin class greatly increased understanding of courseconcepts among my peers. Cases helped us realize thereal-life relevance of the theories learned in class,confusing information taught in class. As a case writer, Isaw the painstaking effort put into case development, toensure maximum effectiveness. Due to its ability toprovide practical application of knowledge within a shortamount of time, cases are an extremely valuableeducational tool for engineering students.

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
