Anyone ever had to do them?  I've been assigned to do one for one of my classes but have never done one before. No guidance was given by the professor so I believe he made the assumption that we were all familiar with them but nobody else in my local cohort (10 people) has done one either! 

 

If you have and are willing to give me a few pointers, please shoot me a PM!  I've got one started but would love some feedback as to whether or not I'm on the right track.

In a loose sense, it's like the circle of life.  It shows visually how this is related to that and that and this and so on and so forth, everything interconnected.  I've never had to do one myself, but that's how I understand it lol.  Good luck, Dar!

Oh, no!  This reminds me of math.

 

Well, I actually got the causal loop diagram done and turned in (although I wish I could make one minor change on it now) and now I'm struggling with my Prob & Status homework.  *sighs*

Or read Anathem by Neil Stevenson.

 

No math in that book at all...

One problem in my Probability homework reminded me how much I've forgotten about logarithms and logarithmic functions . . . *whimpers*

 

In other words . . . EVERYTHING about them!   Nine more weeks . . . just 9 more weeks in this quarter.  OTOH, the bad part about that is it's going to be fast-paced and we'll be flying through the material.

 

If you're up for it (and I did most of the work for you so that all you have to do is solve for n) here is the problem I ran into:

 

0.1ⁿ ≥ 0.995

 

Go!

 

I got it done but it was arduous and tortuous and involved several hours of re-learning and I still feel way to iffy on them (logarithms and logarithmic functions)!
