Forecasting
“In Brighton, England, the Big Beach Boutique II concert by international star and local celebrity DJ Fatboy Slim was a disaster waiting to happen that happened. Event organizers and local authorities naively anticipated 60,000 people would attend the free summer beach party.
Instead, 250,000 music fans showed up. One person died, at least 140 people were injured, Brighton’s famous beach suffered environmental damage and the city’s safety services were stretched beyond past their capacity.”

Teaching within a modular (credit accumulation) system
The modular (credit accumulation) system :
• Single = 10 credits = 2+4 hours per week = 6 hrs/wk week
• Double = 20 credits = 4+8 hours per week = 12 hrs/wk week
• per year : 120 credits (e.g. 6x20 credits, 12x10 credits. …), I.e. 60 credits per semester
• 60 credits per semester: 6 x 6 = 36 hours per week,
i.e.12 hours of contact time + 24 hours of independent study time
