Players earn XP and level up by accomplishing tasks such asdefeating enemies, overcome obstacles, pick up trophies, etc. We design XP and levels in asimilar way but in an educational context.The first design consideration is whether XP/levels are applicable for only a single course

Arteries are used to transport blood using the pressure developed by thepumping action of the heart. The pulse, which can be felt over an artery lying near the surface ofthe skin, results from the alternate expansion and contraction of the arterial wall as the beatingheart forces blood into the arterial system via the aorta.Blood flow through an artery is laminar due to low velocity, which means that blood flows inparallel layers with no disruption between the layers. In some cases, the blood flow may beturbulent due to restrictions and blockages in the arteries when vascular conditions

The program divides the traditional semester into three five-week terms during which students can take one-credit mini-mester courses on a variety of non-traditional classroom topics. This makes students’ experience at Georgia Tech more personalizableby enabling them to explore areas of interest outside their main program of study, and gainknowledge across different academic disciplines. The abbreviated mini-mester format allowsstudents to receive an introduction to a subject without the traditional
