Our motivation is to deliver a mature brand ofthis agent driven instruction to the masses, so that the absence of a human instructor who needsto attend to individual students has positive, rather than negative, effects.Harnessing the Power of One-on-One TutoringOne-on-one tutoring is remarkably effective: we have long known that there is strong evidencefrom a myriad of domains that tutored students consistently outperform those taught inclassroom situations having standard student/teacher ratios. For example, in a meta-analysisconducted by Cohen, Kulik & Kulik of 65 evaluations of school tutoring programs, it

The three most important mechanisms thatcould help to improve systems thinking are work and life experiences, individual characteristicsand traits, and environment [1].

Day after day of traditional lectures can make it difficult for the students to digest allthe material and make instructors feel like they are just relaying information instead of teaching.Neglecting fun in the classroom can be a mistake. Fun and games can help the classroom in three mainways: 1. Address the needs of individual and varied learning styles of students, 2. Encourage students to actively participate in learning, 3. Reinforce concepts through repetition in unique ways.First, students each have their own learning style, and learn in vastly different ways.

This has the consequence that ‘Pedagogically, this approach provides no “cognitive hooks”, which might enable students to relate new material to that of previous courses - until the semester is almost complete” 19.Accordingly Scragg recommends a top down approach starting with material already familiarto students and then working towards less familiar material.

Since many capstone courses are industry sponsored, students are ableto learn project constraints and budgeting. For these reasons capstone courses are theprimary mechanism used by many universities to meet ABET criteria 2, particularly foroutcomes that aren’t met in more traditional course formats. Since capstone courses tendto focus on projects which are specific and unique there is no widely accepted model ortextbook on which capstone courses are based 3.

This will come at some expense of the technical material. However,reading and writing more is a positive change. As mentioned earlier, the context of energyscience is what makes it this course extremely interesting for the students.
