   Relate the quote by Dr. Peter Venkman to:
   
     1.  the discussion of the steps of modeling and Ghostbusters
         lecture (See the George and Angela Shiflet handouts on stages)
   
     2.  the waggle dancing bees readings link above
   
     3.  the ghost.txt Ghostbusters reading above
   
     4.  the Coaching the Artist Within handout
   
     5.  relate it to your major at UNI, or your interests, hobbies,
         passions, problems, etc.
   
     6.  try some ink shedding and free writing to brainstorm around
         the above resources.  Share the best of what you come up with
         or discover.  This can include any reflection of the success
         or failure of the ink shedding and free writing to bear fruit.
   
         "I'm studying the effects of negative reinforcement on ESP ability."
                    
                                         Dr. Peter Venkman
   

5. The steps of the Modeling and Simulation process are analogous to the Ghostbuster's four phases or four steps of the problem solving process.

   Here is the Angela and George Shiflet handout on the steps of building and testing a simulation model.

6. Stages of the Modeling Process: Key ideas and phrases and connections to Ghostbusters. From an old take home exam handout.

7. What is INK SHEDDING as exploration? What is FREE WRITING is a PDF by Peter Elbow? More on INK SHEDDING as a method of discovery and brain storming.

   FREE WRITING: Why it is so easy, yet so valuable? It is one of the most stress-free forms of writing, because you can babble. An ink-shedding free-writing exercise can tie the ideas together. What ideas? Ghostbusters, Waggle Dancing Bees, Coaching the Artist Within Skill Three (Getting a Grip on your Mind), the Angela and George Shiflet Modeling and Simulation Stages/Steps, and your major or education at UNI.

   Ink shedding and free writing are both quite stress-FREE, by the way, so no worries, mates, as an Aussie might say.
