### Reflections and Q&A

If you have any questions or thoughts, please feel very free to contribute these below:

- “learning through dialogue” - how does this scale to classes of 200+ students?
- Storytelling seems like a powerful tool - can you please give some ideas about how to find the stories to use in the context of AI and data science?
- @Helen I notice your ppt style is different from most AI presentations, you have pictures but very little information (text and tsbles and figures) - why did you choose this style? Do you prefer "podcasts”with audio only, so students do not need to stay glued to the screen?
- Many students have limited time, and choose not to do formative exercises (action), as a waste of their time - they only do practical exercises if there are marks (summative) ... how do we solve this?
- Question for both @Helen and @David: Storytelling is clearly a powerful tool, but how to create and find your stories to use in the class?
