This was a fascinating course about systems theory and the characteristics of systems.  I was especially interested in the problems that can develop in systems and some of the approaches that may be used to address these problems. 

Our final project was to select a system to describe and analyze.  We had to make a presentation to the class and also write a paper.  I was amazed by the large variety of topics that were addressed by my classmates.  From long-distance running, to cooking, to the brewing of alcohol, to more expected sorts of systems.  Each one was well-done and interesting. 

My topic was "PBIS: Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports".  This is a program that is being used in my school.
