This is for system thinking and simulation course

Clearly articulated the problem statement, consistent with systems concepts (5% of marks)

Demonstrated understanding of the key characteristics of causal loop modelling. Variables are clearly articulated, causal linkages, directionality, loops all clearly identified (5% of marks)

Archetypes clearly stated and described. Leverages are identified, conceptually applied and discussed (5% of marks).

Entire assignment is coherent, presenting a uniform message in a cohesive manner (5% of marks).

Section A: Basic System and Problem Description

Please provide a basic system description in this section. This section must include the

name of the system to be modelled, along with a brief description of the system.

Section B: Causal loop modelling

Please develop a causal loop diagram (CLD) of the system described in section A. Please maintain strict boundaries on your CLD, and limit (where possible) your CLD to fewer that 20 variables.

Section C: Systems Archetypes

Your CLD in section B should contain one or more systems archetypes. Utilising the

variables and linkages identified in section B, draw CLDs of the relevant systems archetypes. Each archetype should be identified, although you are encouraged to limit the number of archetypes to 3 or less. This section should also include an identification of the most appropriate leverages and a discussion about relevant intervention strategies.
