Abstract
Prior research has not investigated perceived added education value in courses. Using a sample of 165 graduating business students, two business administration (BA) scales were created from six required BA core courses as part of students’ Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree. Students were asked if each required course “added value to their education”. The two core scales (number of items) were labeled: BA Unique (4 items) and BA Generic (2 items). Analysis showed that the BA Unique scale had higher perceived added education value than the BA Generic scale. The BA Unique scale had stronger relationships to program degree satisfaction and Business School reputation than the BA Generic scale. These results supported the development of more unique required core courses based on business school stakeholder needs. Other schools should consider their stakeholders’ needs to see if more unique required core courses, beyond generic, are needed. Although only six of 21 required courses could be tested due to sample size limitations, these initial results suggest it is important to evaluate the perceived added education value of required courses in a curriculum.

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
