Abstract
VANT 150 is a first-year course in designand sustainability for international students enrolled inthe Vantage One program at UBC. One of its learningoutcomes is to understand the importance ofcommunication between different stakeholders in thedesign process.The 2016 final exam revealed that students haddifficulties understanding the positions of the designer,client and user as stakeholders. A simulation(roleplaying) exercise was implemented in 2017 in orderto help students better understand these roles and raiseawareness about the importance of communicationbetween them.The 2016 and 2017 final exams included a question todifferentiate stakeholder roles. We found that the averagescore in this question was 8% higher in 2017 than in2016. This difference is statistically significant withp < 0.005. This suggests the stakeholder simulationactivity helped our students better understand theseconcepts.

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
