Using artificial intelligence to grade practical laboratory examinations: Sacrificing students' learning experiences for saving time?

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) by students has recently been made a key topic among educators because of the potential to transform students' learning experiences. However, the use of AI-based software by instructors has not received the same level of consideration despite its recent accessibility and prevalence. This contribution discusses the benefits, challenges, and limitations of commercial AI-based software (Gradescope) for grading summative, short answer practical examinations in an undergraduate gross anatomy course.

Perceptions, satisfactions, and performance of undergraduate students during Covid-19 emergency remote teaching.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the education system worldwide faced sudden and unforeseen challenges. Many academic institutions closed their doors, forcing both educators and students to transition to Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) for the remainder of the semester. This transition eliminated hands-on experiences, increased workload, and altered curricula.

A new parapithecine (Primates: Anthropoidea) from the early Oligocene of Libya supports parallel evolution of large body size among parapithecids.

Parapithecines are an extinct subfamily of stem anthropoid primates previously known only from the Jebel Qatrani Formation in Egypt. Here, we describe isolated teeth pertaining to Simonsius harujensis sp. nov.

Differences Between Attached and Detached Cadaveric Prosections on Students' Identification Ability During Practical Examinations.

Cadaveric prosections are effective learning tools in anatomy education. They range from a fully dissected, sometimes plastinated, complete cadaver (in situ prosections), to a single, carefully dissected structure detached from a cadaver (ex situ prosections). While most research has focused on the advantages and disadvantages of dissection versus prosection, limited information is available on the instructional efficacy of different prosection types.
