    Being totally new to modeling and computer programs, I found the tutorial excellent. The step by step approach helped me follow along, while I could stop each video to try things on the side. Bill Rand explained everything in clear words; the demonstrations were clear and the videos just the right length for someone like me. I truly enjoyed doing the tutorial, which I undertook as a preparation after having enrolled in ABM without having ever before heard about Netlogo. Thank you.

    The tutorial is good for a general introduction. It is also good as a reference point for NetLogo programs that one may want to create in the future. Very easy to follow.

    The content provides a candid introduction to the course. I would recommend to all who are new to NetLogo and even those who want to re-look it.

    Excellently described and provided enough example for the beginner. I have learned to think of my reserach problems in terms of modeling.

    A course that contains the necessary information to define types of models that will be fed by agents with non-linear dynamic behavior
