In more advanced courses, particularly in subjects such as physics and chemistry, some of the information needed will involve course content. Have your students identify instances of hierarchical organization of information in their environment. Some examples are tables of content, indexes, hierarchical menus and file organization, bulleted memos and letters, outlines and so forth. Help them recognize that many things in their lives are organized hierarchically. Exercise in using the problem-solving principles can be obtained in a set of interactive problems linked to this page.
