-Nothing\'s gonna get deleted. We\'re gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what\'s Fonzie like? Come on, what\'s Fonzie like?
-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

Re: Model This [Trial]
Is it known whether or not participants will have to learn the programming language of NetLogo and Vensim PLE? Or is the model going to be provided and students make modifications on the model without effecting the original code.

Actually you do have to program for net logo it is quite difficult to
Does anyone have an example of a question they might ask?

Re: Model This [Trial]
You might be asked what assumptions the model (that you made or the event coordinators made) contains? One assumption would be that everyone is equal risk.

Re: Model This [Trial]
If a pre-proprammed model is used in the event; sliders could be used to manipulate the variables and observe possible changes. Such as, if the vaccination rate increases, does the amount of infection decrease. Simplistic but reasonable.iluvbiology wrote:Actually you do have to program for net logo it is quite difficult to

Regarding programming, yes I agree, the coding for NetLego isn't easy. However, I have found attempting your own by using other model examples, gives an edge and also gives the user an opportunity to understand probability of events, such as an epidemic. Coding isn't much different than using any other programming language such as xml or php script.

Re: Model This [Trial]
After you look at it for a while it gets a lot easier. It doesn't say on the rules but where do you download vensimple from. I downloaded it from the division c model this sheet is that right?
Re: Model This [Trial]
Model This is basically about programming and when you change the variables then it would affect the result. There is almost nothing to study for.
We are going to Nationals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Model This [Trial]
Model This was a pretty hard trial event. I think you really did need to study quite a bit for this event. My partner and I weren't quite prepared...
