  • Due May 20, 2018 at 8:59pm
  • Points 30
  • Questions 6
  • Time Limit None

Instructions

1. In NetLogo (desktop; the web-version has only some of he models), go to [Files] => [Models Library] NetLogo Models Library

 

2. Type in or select the model you wish to run

3. Answer the 6 questions of this quiz. Keep in mind:

     3a. As a first step, always FIRST read the info tab to understand what is happening in each simulation

     3b. Keep in mind that you may need to re-open a new version of the model each time you move on to a new question, even if it's for the same model, so the changes you made to the settings in one question don’t accidentally carry over into the next question.

     3c. The ‘given parameters’ are the ones preset each time you open a new model

     3d. The speed at which the simulation is run can be changed by the slider at the top (“normal speed”)

     3e. As you know from lecture, these simulations are the outcome of probabilistic models. When running a simulation, you may get a result that could be an outlier. To get a solid average result, run each simulation multiple times to create a small data set before answering the question.

     3f. If you don't find the model, use the build-in search function of the "Models Library". Please feel free to explore more!
