You might want to make the arrow to costs bidirectional or have another arrow looping around from costs to "help determine" to show that costs have an impact on controls as well. The more I think about it, what if you made the controls the final block with costs as an input to place more emphasis on the controls rather than costs. - -PaulK Paul Keser Assoc.

Hi Everyone!! I am conducting a study examining how different instructional strategies help students learn threat analysis concepts. More specifically, I am investigating the extent and nature of the influence of examples from multiple domains on increasing learners’ conceptual understanding (as compared to using examples from just one domain or field). Similar research has been done in the past, but it focuses on well-defined concepts and problems; my work is novel in that it focuses on ill-defined concepts and problems. And as you know, many concepts and problems in the real world are ill-defined! In order to complete this study, I need to first determine how practitioners perceive threat analysis concepts. With the understanding that your time is very limited, I created a concept map of threat analysis and included it in this email. I would appreciate it if you would look at this map and respond back whether you agree with the included map/relationships and if not, what you would change as far as the concepts included and the relationships between concepts. This should take only a moment to look at this picture and respond back with your thoughts. I would also be happy to provide any results from this study. This study is the possibility of increasing student’s conceptual understanding through profound learning experiences that fosters deep learning of abstract concepts. It is the hope that these learning experiences will enhance transfer and increase student’s expertise. Having your participation is essential to evaluate whether or not these learning experiences affect students conceptual understanding in meaningful way. You can respond back to rigbys () byui edu Thank you so much for your help!
