Overview

There are no one-size-fits-all answers when it comes to finding solutions to problems. We need to be open to different approaches and be willing to experiment until we find what works best. More often than not, we need to try something new and different, even if it's not what we're used to.

To do this, you have to think on your feet and be nimble in the face of constant change. You also need to be creative and open to new ideas. 

In this course, students learn how to identify problems and address the common barriers to problem-solving for individuals and teams. This course also introduces students to the following problem-solving models: scientific, strategic, and innovative/creative.
