Comprising qualitative and quantitative elements, this module will hone students’ ability to engage in Systems Thinking: understanding parts of a system, seeing interconnections, asking ‘what-if’ questions, quantifying the\neffects of specific interventions and using such understanding to propose operational/structural policies courageously and creatively. Interactive discussions and hands-on computer modelling using examples from several ecological and natural resource systems will serve as the primary learning mechanisms.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"0-2-2-2-4","Types":["Module"],"Prerequisite":"FOR GEM1918\nGEM-coded GEM1914 Jnr Sem: Systems Systems Everywhere\nGEM1915% Towards an Understanding of the Complex World\nGEM1919 Thinking in Systems: Diseases and Healthcare\nGE Reform GET1011 Towards an Understanding of the Complex World\nUTC-coded UTC1411 Jnr Sem: Systems Systems Everywhere\nUTC1701 Thinking in Systems: Diseases and Healthcare\nUTC1700 Thinking in Systems: Ecosystems and Natural Resources FOR UTC1700\nGEM-coded GEM1914 Jnr Sem: Systems Systems Everywhere\nGEM1915% Towards an Understanding of the Complex World\nGEM1918 Thinking in Systems: Ecosystems and Natural Resources\nGEM1919 Thinking in Systems: Diseases and Healthcare\nGE Reform GET1011 Towards an Understanding of the Complex World\nUTC-coded UTC1411 Jnr Sem: Systems Systems Everywhere\nUTC1701 Thinking in Systems: Diseases and Healthcare","Timetable":[{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Wednesday","StartTime":"1000","EndTime":"1200","Venue":"RC4-SR1"},{"ClassNo":"2","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Thursday","StartTime":"1900","EndTime":"2100","Venue":"RC4-SR3"}],"LecturePeriods":["Wednesday Morning","Thursday Evening"]}
