Systems Thinking: Causal Loop Diagrams

[@amandahooten2950]

This was exactly what I needed to understand causal loop diagrams, you made it so clear and understandable. Thank you!!!

[@daveM135i]

My 2 hour lecture condensed in a 16 minute UA-cam clip. Thank you so much!!!

This is how every professor, instructor, or teacher should be talking and lecturing. She talks clearly, precisely, slowly, and phase between each sentence or idea so that listeners and watchers can clearly understand. She wants to make the audience learn and comprehend not herself.

Thanks a lot, Donna. You must be a wonderful professor. I love the way you deliver your lecture; it's super clear and extremely easy to understand.

[@vidyakhanapure7292]

Thanks a lot, Dr. Donna, you explain the concept so well in a simple way. Looking forward to more lectures from you.

[@khawarnaeem4941]

Modeling is the art of Simplification- the professor has well demonstrated!

[@lama3469]

Thank you Dr. Donna Gurule, this video has help me to better understand causal loop diagrams

[@koushikmondalsartjourney2868]

Thanks a lot for explaining system dynamics in such a simple manner. This helped me a lot. Keep going.

[@rabeccakapota4887]

Thanks alot Dr Donna, this is very helpful, you are so calm and clear, looking forward to more of your lectures.

[@josephbolton8092]

This was a lovely, crystal clear lesson. Thank you.

[@GevheriHere]

Hey Dr. Donna! You are my hero, thanks a lot :)

[@aslamaman5830]

Thank you Dr. Donna for the beautiful explanation

[@andrewl.thacker4690]

Thank you for this video it helped me get a great grade for an assignment on causal loops

[@gopikhanal]

Great lecture and very easy to understand. We will benefit even more with practical exercise in Vensim .

[@rebonirampjapedi40]

This video simplified everything for me, it's really helpful. Thank you

[@yasmijnbos3625]

Thankyou this really helped me understand causal loops much better!

[@ledniknoj]

Great description of causal loop diagrams!

[@sulavthami1668]

I could not follow the logic between resource constraints and life expectancy but has been explained in comment below. It’s an amazing presentation overall.

[@chineduecheruo8872]

Thank you so much. You explained the concepts very well.

[@koleshwar1111]

Thanks. This is helpful to understand the concept in a simple way

[@Agusfn20]

Good video, also, very relaxing

[@AdamKhidir]

Thank You for the Explanation. Things are clearer now, but I need to practice.

Thank you Dr. Donna

CLDS protocols are that there is always increase at the tail then see the effect on head either positive or negative.

[@higiniofuentes2551]

Thank you for this very useful video!

[@mark14181]

Nice video Donna!, this was a great help!

[@caseyjonas86]

In loop six, why is it not a + sign in front of herd size?

[@Antz_411]

Makes perfect sense!

[@findingjoy2657]

Well explained lecture. Thank you! 🙂

[@adorkula]

Very effective video Dr. Gurule. I learned and enjoyed the pop quiz. Just a quick question - are causal loop diagrams and stock and flow diagrams the same? If not, Can you explain the different nuances between the two? THANK YOU :)

[@higiniofuentes2551]

In the last example the 6th loop is a balancing one(because odd number of -) but the round arrow is wrong or is the 5th one?
Thank you!

[@juliedancaster6124]

thank you do much donna, this helped me so much

[@guadalupe_rodriguez]

Is it me that I'm not understanding correct or the first loop diagram at time 0:49 has the the arrows on both bottom loops are wrong going the wrong direction? The left top loop is going counterclockwise, right? So, the R arrow is also traveling counterclockwise. The lower left arrows are traveling clockwise, but notice the arrow around the R. The arrow is traveling counterclockwise. The same problem exists with the lower right side. Am I wrong or you all have a typo? Let me know, please.We are learning systems thinking in grad school.

[@jpremor]

Thanks for the loop diagram information.
Just one observation. I doubt you can bring data pointing to inequality driving conflicts of vice versa. Not even simple to build as conflicts might have many variables of influence. Keeping political views away helps on driving personal thoughts and so, diversity of thinking... in this case accepting my view that this doesn't work (based on reality by the way).
That aside, thanks for the technical info, very useful!

[@nunchacks]

Really good 😊

[@johnkevingiraldo8543]

Very useful, thank you very much.

[@musazidan9766]

Thank you very much for your efforts

[@alexlai400]

crystal clear, thank you

[@raiankhan7167]

It is helpful....from Bangladesh.

[@nurulamaliyahtanjung6195]

it`s really help me out. Thank You !

[@8981471918]

If life expectancy decreases then why it is indicated with positive sign, it should be negative

[@Maria_farah]

thanks it helps a lot.

[@rimeshakhan4575]

excellent

[@alexn.1894]

Thanks for the interesting video! At 9:20, as there are fewer resources per person, shouldn't there be a minus in life expectancy and therefore also a plus in deaths?

[@DonnaGurule]

Hi Alexander, Thank you for your comment. My apologies for missing it earlier. Your statement should be true. The thing to keep in mind is that when you start each factor (e.g., Resources, Life Expectancy, Deaths) in a Causal Loop Diagram, you assume an increase or positive in that variable. Then, the + or - outcome at the end of the arrow makes sense.

[@marinaparker1481]

Hi Dr. Gurule,
Thank you for your video. I actually have the same question and I read your response to Alexander and I am still confused. So does this mean that the CLD is incorrect and it should in fact be a (-) at the life expectancy arrow and a (+) at the deaths arrow?

[@ayokunleolanipekun9115]

Thank you Donna

[@nisaldilshan3220]

good explanation

[@KleinmeisterPang]

great video,.. but I would like to know the bank where I get interest for my money :)

[@anoud2048]

Thanks I get it & short useful explaining keep going

[@DonnaGurule]

Thank you!

[@AbdullahAlRahi]

thanks a lot!

[@crzymonkey64]

thanks DONNA

[@varshasrivastava492]

Can somebody tell me useful softwares to make CLD's

[@abirsonet925]

informative

[@finleydowling1835]

Watching now

[@sizwesokhela382]

where you loose me is at 9:35min you say population is increasing then resources decrease then life expectancy decrease (But there a positive sign) then you say rate of deaths will increase but you have a negative sign ...

[@hendrickputra3142]

Hey thankyou so much for video but i'm confused with quiz no #4. For the loop of number 5, is that reinforcing ? I think the answer is balancing because more grass can make less soil erosion and from soil erosion can make less new grass growth.
Thankyou!

[@rloggen]

More grass leads to less soil erosion. Less soil erosion leeds to more grass growth. More grass growth leads to more grass. : reinforcing.
