Craft of Problem Solving — This class builds on the core ideas in the Principles of Problems Solving class and introduces a rigorous problem-solving framework built around the notion of the modern problem solver — and encourages you to become one! The modern problem solver is a person who can build informative models (both qualitative and quantitative) of the problem at hand and use these models to gain insight to support decision making and further learning. This person also is someone who augments his or her domain knowledge with mathematical, statistical, and programming skills to create computational models that drive insight. Are you interested in honing your skills on how to create and apply simple models to aid in decision making? If so, you will find this class enormously beneficial.
