Hi, the deadline for submitting exams is by the end of the course.
Are the lectures already closed today at August 29, PST, since I can't access them anymore? Thanks.
No, and they will still be available after the course ends.
I accessed the youtube links anyway. Thanks.
By when will our final model be graded? And when will we receive our certificates?
The peer review deadline is August 25, certificates will be issued at the end of the course.
Oh alright, thank you for the reply!
I found an error in the activity after I had sent it and the deadline had passed. That was sad.
Very unfortunate!
I just read the sci-fi novel PREY by Michael Critchton.
It's about nanoparticles that escape from a lab. They are programmed using Agent Based Modeling, so it's the perfect book to read in conjunction with this ABM course.

Good recommendation, it will be my next read.
Oh thanks for the reminder Thomas. I have the book and have been looking for a chance to read it.
I have submitted the document describing my model as part of the first assignment. However, if time permits during the final assignment, I would like to take it a step further and extend the model's complexity to account for more diverse and complex situations. May I proceed with this extension? Any feedback or guidance would be appreciated.
Of course, you may extend the model beyond what you submitted.
Hi, I am not able to see the link for peer review under the My Progress tab. Is it yet to be released or some issue with my account?
If you click on "Model Design Assignment" in My Progress, it will bring you to the peer review page.
Thank you Peter! Found it
Hi,
I get an error while building my model: "You can't use ASSIGN-COLOR in an observer context, because ASSIGN-COLOR is turtle/link only". Can someone point me to the right resource to help debug this?
Best regards,
AshishMaybe you need to put something like "ask turtles [ blablabla color blablabla]".
Hi Victor,
Thanks, I think I get the idea:)
Regards
Hi
I haven't yet caught up on the slides as I was sick, so I have yet to learn and understand how to extend and create a model. The first assignment is basically a copy of the Google form we submitted earlier. Is that all we are supposed to do, along with the peer reviews?Yes, the first assignment is a description of your model.
We were asked to fill out google forms (for example here: https://www.complexityexplorer.org/courses/183-introduction-to-agent-based-modeling/segments/18118) but they just sort of disappear. Is there a way to retrieve these things?
You should have received a copy of your answers on your email. If you didn't, but provided your email, I can try to find it manually - please let me know. K.
I couldn't find your responses using the email associated with your account, please let me know if there's another email you could have entered at abm@complexityexplorer.org
No there is no other email, and I do get the weekly announcements as well as notifications your responses here. In any event nothing important was lost, I will press on :)
I found it, emailing it to you now.
Thanks! Much appreciated
