Description: Over the last two years, we experimented with online peer assessment platforms in undergraduate courses and saw them deliver major learning advantages and be highly popular with students. We explain why peer assessment shows great promise for actuarial science education and the main factors to consider when designing peer assessment activities. We also detail our use of online platforms in two undergraduate courses. By sharing our experience, we hope to provide you, our fellow educators, with a solid starting point for experimenting with this format.

Description: James Dunseth's MBA journey at Yale’s School of Management and his startup internship taught him invaluable entrepreneurial lessons. Key takeaways include the importance of customer feedback, flexibility, technical skills, effective metrics, and achieving product-market fit. These insights emphasize customer-centric approaches, agile methodologies, technical understanding, and strategic metric use to guide business decisions and foster innovation.

Description: We explore the question of how an actuary–artificial intelligence collaboration might look in the future and how actuaries should be trained to best leverage this technology. It felt fitting to accomplish this through a conversation with an AI system, as AI involvement is warranted to ground the analysis in the technology’s true capabilities.
