Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The goal of this project is to develop a curriculum map for the biology program at Carleton. Program learning objectives and student enrolment are keys to building curriculum maps. In this project, we examined historical student enrolment and processed this information as a heat map. We also surveyed students about their experiences in biology courses. Specifically, we examined the extent to which students are aware of program learning objectives and if they recognize alignment of learning experiences in biology courses with the program learning objectives.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
