Instructional Ideas
- Invite an engineer to come speak to the class about complex networks they encounter in their field
- Map out the social network of one of the class members
Classroom Considerations
- Remind the class of the difference between graphs that they studied in math and graphs in graph theory
- The first installment in a four-part series
Pros
- The assessment section has specific questions to ask at the end of each segment

Cons
- A clearly defined engaging instructional method is not outlined in the resource
