So that's it for unit 2,

and I just wanted quickly to go over
where we've been...

where we're going, and what's going on
from here.

So unit 2 was all about introducing you to
the idea of NetLogo...

how it works, what the tabs are, what the
turtles, the patches and the links are.

We've talked a lot about the code tab

how to write your own code

We talked about properties, both global
and turtles

And then we started building our model

We built the 'Heroes and Cowards' model

And then we talked about how you might
want to extend that model

in a number of different ways.

And how you should be documenting that
model as you go along

And a little bit about random number
seeds

and how those affect agent based models.

So that's unit 2.

Now looking forward a little bit...

one of the things I've done is I've asked
some of my friends and collaborators

to put together short videos about how
they use agent based modelling...

to study different problems.

Basically, the idea here is you'll have a
'virtual field trip'

of where agent based modelling is being
used.

So we had the one from Uri Wilensky in
the first unit

and in this unit we'll have one by Marco
Janssen who's at Arizona State University

and has done quite a bit of phenomenal
work on agent based modelling.

He's going to talk about an example

that is a very empirically grounded
example of an agent based model

That video will be next in the feed after
this wrap up.

And then you'll see the unit 2 test

as well as the slides for the entire
unit 2.

These slides are a little 'skimpier' than
some of the unit 1 slides

because a lot of it is just little 
'placeholders' to remind you

about NetLogo commands and options that
you might want to use in different contexts.

Next week, we'll be starting unit 3,

which will be on extending other models
that people have written

including some more complex models than
the one we explored here.

So that's it for unit 2.

I hope everyone's having a good time on
the course so far.

Join me for office hours if you want,

and I look forward to talking to you and
seeing you in the near future.

Take care.
