1. In class group exercise: Draw the CIRCLE with radius 10 using NetLOGO.

   Problem solving and separating WHAT the problem is from HOW to solve it...

   1. Venkman - Understand it (WHAT), then    Your first concern is WHAT
      
   2. Stantz - Plan it (HOW), then            Your second concern is HOW 
                                                                  to solve it.
   3. Spengler - Code it in NetLOGO.          Your last and final concern
                                                           is the coding in
                                                                      NetLOGO.
   

2. Dr. Peter Venkman and Ghostbusters: Scene Three lessons and quote.

       1.  Understand the problem:  Dr. Peter Venkman   FOCUS on WHAT...
   
           i. What is given?  What do you know?   What is the input?
   
          ii. What is the goal?  Or what is the unknown?
              What is it we need to find?
   
           Let's not rush things.  We don't even know WHAT you have here yet.
   
              (What Dr. Peter Venkman says as the Ghostbusters arrive at 
               the NYC Public Library in scene III of the movie).
   
       When you finish with Phase I of the problem solving process, you
       will have answers to the WHAT questions.
