A number of KCs with lower intercepts have quite high slopes, forexample, section_as_subsystem, unknown_internal_consistent, and determined_support. Thetutor is playing a valuable role if it helps students master skills, such as these, that they did notinitially possess. Thus, high slopes are most critical in the case of low intercept KCs. By contrast,other skills tend have a low initial error, corresponding to high value of intercept. For a few ofthose skills, such as unknown_support_new_pin and unknown_support_new_roller, the slope isagain high, but for

Note that D, F and W markings are aggregated here, as eachof these grades indicates an unsuccessful attempt at mastering the course material. In addition,students who earn a D, and F, or withdraw from the course prior to completion have a higher riskof extending their undergraduate education beyond eight semesters and have a higher rate ofattrition. Figures 5 and 6 highlight the fact that the DFW rates of the courses have beensubstantially lowered since the implementation of the PMFC.

For example, thefirst step in the modeling process was for students to take physical measurements of the serverroom. While this process seemed like it should be straightforward, in reality these novicestudents had difficulty understanding concepts like accuracy and precision, and had to repeatedlymeasure and re-measure the same dimensions before mastering the tools and generatingconsistent results. Once the server room was measured, the dimensions had to be input intoCAD in order to generate a room model. Again, this task proved to be surprisingly difficulty forsome students, who had difficulty translating numerical measurements
