Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Students often approach their Engineering professors and teaching assistants for help with their assignments during office hours. This practice can be a vital part of the student learning process, yet busy Professors and TAs too often simply provide students with the solution (or steps to the solution) instead of working with the student to ensure that they understand the material. Furthermore, Boyer et al (2010) have found that Professors and TAs often ask their students very few questions, especially when they have not been trained to do so. When Professors and TAs do ask students questions, they rarely ask the most beneficial types.\nThis workshop provides Engineering professors and teaching assistants with information, tools, and guidance to help students solve numerical problems without simply providing them with the entire solution. The focus here is on engaging students in the learning process by helping them ask questions that facilitate active learning. This workshop gives special consideration to creating questions that can be adjusted to accommodate students’ differing learning styles.

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.

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.
