Assignment #0

My name is Michelle Hollingsworth.


I am enrolled in CVEN665 because I enjoy systems thinking in a Water Resources context and I'd like to improve upon my ability to take real-world systems and put it in programming terms. Most people will have models of systems in their minds but it requires a developed skill to recognize a system and translate it into mathematical terms. I'm looking forward to the class project as an opportunity to practice model formulation and evaluation of that model.


Critical thinking is when we question the model we have of a system, analyze why the system behaves and interacts in the manner that it does, and through that we should expand our thinking to all possibilities of behavior and interactions, evaluate the quality of those possibilities, and then redefine our new system with our new more reliable model.
