Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this reflective essay, we discuss a partnership between a 4th-year undergraduate student and a faculty member in developing and teaching a 3rd-year inquiry-based learning (IBL) course. This partnership, characterized by shared decision-making, introduced a newly defined role: the student course coordinator (SCC). Through this collaboration, a student’s voice was integrated into every stage of the process, from course development and delivery to end-of-course reflection and evaluation.. In many ways, this partnership was akin to an education practicum in which a student gains valuable experience in coordinating and co-teaching a course while developing skills essential for an effective mentor and educator. In this essay, we highlight the context, practicalities, benefits, and challenges of such a partnership and provide our reflections on the experience. We hope the reflections and experiences shared here will provide an account of the value of student voices and partnership in education.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
