 Discussion (Chapter 8): Excel is probably the most popular spreadsheet software for PCs. Why? What can we do with this package that makes it so attractive for modeling efforts? 

Questions: 

1. How does prescriptive analytics relate to descriptive and predictive analytics? 

2. Explain the differences between static and dynamic models. How can one evolve into the other? 

3. What is the difference between an optimistic approach and a pessimistic approach to decision making under assumed uncertainty? 

4. Explain why solving problems under uncertainty sometimes involves assuming that the problem is to be solved under conditions of risk. 

Exercise: 

 Investigate via a Web search how models and their solutions are used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the “war against terrorism.” Also, investigate how other governments or government agencies are using models in their missions.

Forum 1: Reflective Journal     Objective of the activity  The Reflective Journal is a tool that teachers use to obtain their opinion or opinion of the student on a specific topic. Depending on the course, the Reflective Journal can be a tool to measure the level of critical thinking, defend a point of view or simply for the student to express himself. 

 
Knowing that this computer course is something innovative for many and, perhaps a review of basic concepts for others, it is established that this reflective diary will contain some simple questions that the student will have to answer. Because it is a forum, what the student expresses will be seen by his classmates and the teacher, therefore, he will receive comments on his presentation. 

 
Instructions  In this forum, the student will share his opinion with his classmates on the following topics:  How has it been adapted to the online course platform? What have you learned in these four (4) modules? What have you found most difficult to understand in these four modules? What has made it easier for you to master in these four modules? To present your main contribution, you must create a new topic to which you will give a title. You can write in paragraph form and talk about all the aspects or you can list each one on the same topic and put your point of view.  He must read what other classmates and the teacher have posted and react to one of the writings. Remember that the most important thing is mutual respect, sharing ideas and if we differ, let it be with respect.
