My  experience and learning outcome of Moral Machine Activity :   Learning Experience: While using the Moral Machine, I had to face different situations where a self-driving car had to choose who to save. I had to decide quickly between passengers or people on the road, following the law or breaking it, and saving young, old, fit, or important people. This made me think about my own values, and the feedback showed me how my choices compared with others. Learning Outcome: From the results, I found that I mostly preferred saving more lives, protecting passengers, and following the law. I also gave more importance to saving younger, healthier, and socially valued people than older, heavier people or animals. At the same time, my choices about gender and whether to act or not were more balanced. Th...

1&2. Take a test - Was this poem written by a human or a computer? Learning Outcome:  When I first read a poem, I couldn’t tell if it was written by a human or a computer. At first glance, it looked neat, correct, and even a bit emotional. But after reading carefully, I noticed that human-written poems often have a personal touch, with unique ideas, real emotions, and small imperfections that make them feel alive. Computer-written poems, on the other hand, sometimes repeat phrases, use common clichés, or feel a little flat, even though the grammar and structure are perfect.

This thought provoking task was given by Dr. Dilip Barad. Critical Analysis of The Home and the World by Rabindranath Tagore: Rabindranath Tagore Introduction: Rabindranath Tagore’s The Home and the World ( Ghare-Baire , 1916) is a timeless novel that blends personal drama with political philosophy. Written against the backdrop of the Swadeshi movement in Bengal, the novel explores the tension between tradition and modernity, nationalism and humanism, and passion and reason. At its heart lies a love triangle—Nikhil, Bimala, and Sandip—but this triangle is not merely romantic. It serves as a metaphor for larger historical forces shaping India at the dawn of the twentieth century. When reading this text in class, what struck me most was Tagore’s ability to make politics an intimate force that enters the private sphere of the family. The home ( ghare ) symbolizes safety, order, and personal relationships, while the world ( baire ) represents politics, ambition, and chaos. The clash ...
