This mid-term exam evaluates knowledge in systems thinking, focusing on system dynamics, causal loop diagrams (CLDs), stock and flow diagrams (SFDs), and model aggregation. Key concepts include feedback loop polarity and modeling units.

Rate this question:
A graph function can never be changed as part of a policy.
A stock variable always needs to be embedded in at least one feedback loop.
Cognitive constraints and real-world decision-making need to be included in System Dynamics models if they have an important influence on the behavior.
If precise quantitative information about an important variable or important relationship is not available, then this important variable or important relationship should not be included in a System Dynamics model.

One should always be able to determine the behavior of a system from a Causal Loop Diagram of the system.
A balance equation is the expression of the change in level of a variable in a specific balance area over a specific time interval.
A dynamic hypothesis is a hypothesis that changes over time.
If a Table-function ––also called Graph-function or Lookup-function–– represents a multiplicative effect, then the reference point is the point at which the y-value equals 0.
