Project Progress Report - PAD 724

This report outlines the status of your project. It is a cumulative statement of your project, including:

• Problem definition statement, edited as necessary to match your current thinking
• Project diagrams, again edited as necessary to match the current state of your model(s)
  • Sector overview diagram
  • Conceptual (nonquantified) loop diagrams identifying important feedback processes in your dynamic hypothesis
• Model(s) under construction
  • A sequence of models if that helps your presentation
  • Vensim diagrams
  • Documentor equation listing(s)
  • Model base run behavior of current model
  • Model tests of current model (if any at this point)
  • Commentary on these
• Plans for finishing
  • Model structure you plan to complete by the last week of the course (overview, linked to Sector diagram)
  • Plan for testing ranges of parameters ("exercising" the model; sensitivity testing)
  • Plan for policy simulations

Your final report will simply be an extension of this cumulative report.
