Companion Slides: Building Decision Trees
2022
These companion slides accompany the videos included in the teaching pack on Building Decision Trees, in which students learn how to structure the elements (e.g., objectives, alternatives, probabilities, and outcomes) of a problem into a decision tree model, conduct a baseline analysis of the expected value of different alternatives, assess the value of perfect information, and perform sensitivity analyses. In addition to the companion slides, materials include an instructor's note, videos, a glossary, an annotated bibliography, and sample exercises.

This teaching pack was developed by Sue J. Goldie at the Center for Health Decision Science, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The multimedia components were developed as part of a series of pilots in the CHDS Media Hub, led by Jake Waxman, where media-based pedagogy experiments contribute to new ways of thinking about short form content.
