Abstract
This paper examines the process of curriculum internationalisation implemented in two public health courses – a first-year graduate course taught at a university in Kazakhstan and a third-year undergraduate course taught at a university in Ontario, Canada. Qualitative data derived from 180 short reflection assignments and nine semi-structured interviews were analysed thematically to explore students’ experiences with the international course alignment. Students often initially showed excitement about the opportunity to collaborate with international public health students, and some expressed positive learning experiences. However, students also described barriers for successful global collaboration related to logistical issues, such as discordant timing of the courses, challenges with communication, and a lack of clarity about the nature of the cooperation. Building on students’ feedback and our experiences as their course instructors, we offer a guide to help educators align courses provided internationally.

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
