Week 12: Epidemic Modeling
Learning Objective: Students explore agent-agent interactions by creating an epidemic model. Each student has an opportunity to examine the spread of disease through an agent population using a simplistic model. Then the possible affects of recuperation, hospitals or doctors and immunity on the spread of disease can be examined.
