教学大纲

Week 1 - Background
On sustainability, what soccer and systems-thinking have to do with it, and how I’m qualified to explain.
Week 1 - System Parts
Systems-thinking is the guide for our sustainability quest, and systems are made up of some basic parts: elements, flows, stocks, feedback loops, and purposes.
Week 2 - System Boundaries
Our approach to sustainability depends on how we define our system boundaries. What must we consider? What can we leave out? And, what can we reasonably infer from the perspective we define?
Week 3 - System Behaviors
With parts and boundaries defined, we can detect system-level behaviors and discover how they affect sustainability.
Week 4 - Evaluating Systems
To evaluate sustainability in our systems, and check our progress, there are properties to consider and methods to apply.
Week 5 - Creating Sustainable Systems
Once we define and evaluate our systems, then we’re ready to create systems that are more sustainable.
Week 6 - The Endless Quest for Sustainability
There is no magical fix; pursuing sustainability is an endless quest of constant effort at the limits of our abilities, and that’s where the fun is.
