DecisionTree

Decision Tree

A decision tree is a visual and analytical decision support tool, often taught to undergraduate students in schools of business, health economics and public health. They are simple to understand and interpret, have value even in the absence of hard data, and can be combined with other decision techniques. A decision tree may be used in a finance class for deciding the better investment strategy.

 

Questioning Activity

In this exercise in questioning, students create a list of 100 questions. There are no directions regarding what questions to ask and no judgments or criticism of questions. Students will ask a wide range of questions, increasing student productivity and motivation. As students focus on what they want to discover and generate their own questions, they pursue answers without prodding. Questions can be general or based on a particular topic or reading; instructors can give several examples from their own lists.
