Teaching

Resources for teaching analytics and responsible AI.

Choose an editable guide, a review method, or a small practice lab. The materials support faculty judgment and make the learning path visible.

Teaching Students to Think with AI

Use the five-step cycle with a discipline-specific question: Ask, Analyze, Improve, Apply, Reflect. Require the student to explain the evidence and their revision decisions.

  1. Ask: Frame a clear question with audience, context and constraints.
  2. Analyze: Inspect AI claims, assumptions, calculations and missing evidence.
  3. Improve: Revise the answer and record why the change matters.
  4. Apply: Use the revised work in the case or task.
  5. Reflect: Explain learning and where human judgment mattered.

Curriculum Currency Auditor

Review one course at a time. Collect the approved outcomes, schedule, assignments, rubrics, and aggregate learning evidence. Add dated external references and review each KEEP, UPDATE, ADD, or REMOVE recommendation.

Before changing a course

  • Confirm the course and program outcome versions.
  • Separate missing evidence from a demonstrated gap.
  • Verify every citation and proposed skill requirement.
  • Remove student identifiers before using AI.
  • Record faculty decisions and the next review date.

ISA 2010 Course Supervisor Guide

A practical planning template for a shared course baseline, instructor coordination, assessment evidence, MOS logistics, and improvement tracking. It proposes responsibilities for confirmation with program leadership; it does not establish university policy or delegated authority.

Use the course materials in context

The SPARK + TRACE course uses SUMMIT+ for graded investigation and TrailPeak for small tool practice. The complete instructor hub is private. Public visitors can try the TrailPeak practice lab without signing in.

Applied analytics prototype

Market Research Scanner

This research prototype retrieves public market data, checks settlement descriptions and activity, groups related questions and ranks candidates for further investigation. It illustrates data quality, provenance, uncertainty and evidence-led research.

Status: prototype, not a released tool. The recovered Python export contains notebook prose that prevents execution. No working application or validated prediction model is supplied here. An educational next step is a reproducible, read-only research notebook with documented inputs and independent checks.
