A Gamified Course Visualization, Organization, and Assessment System; On the Distribution of Political and Electrical Power: Lessons to be Learned from China, Lessons to be Applied to Charlottesville 308 views

The technical thesis relates to the ability of a professor to fine-tune their course to a growing number of Computer Science students not only at the University of Virginia, but through a platform which may be applied across universities. A group of students and researchers investigated not only the potential capabilities of this system, but also the ins and outs of developing this system based on the work of previous semesters’ groups. In total, this report outlines the facets in which the team struggled, the things they learned, and the new abilities of this pedagogical system. The STS thesis investigates the cultural differences between the United States and China through an investigation of the energy consumption and conservation activities in two cities: Charlottesville, Virginia and Hangzhou, Zheijiang. Through interviews, expert analyses, town hall meetings, and a survey of local media, distinctions may be drawn between the cultures within the United States and China, outlining where and how different cultures view the compromise between personal freedom and collective empowerment. The technical and STS theses are not related.
