Abstract
This study assessed the effectiveness of the introduction of active learning exercises into the anatomy and physiologycurriculum in a community college setting. Specifically, the incorporation of a spirometry-based respiratoryphysiology lab resulted in improved student performance in two concepts (respiratory volumes and the hallmarks ofrespiratory diseases) but not a third (the relationship between volume, pressure and airflow). Anonymous post-labsurveys indicated that the modification increased student’s interest in the subject and encouraged interactive learningas well as the use of technology in the classroom. However, although test sections outperformed control sections inthe lab midterm, the difference was statistically insignificant, presumably due to the fact that respiratory conceptsonly accounted for less than 20% of the exam.

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
