OK, so now you have actually two options on how to take the course, so I'm going to go through those
two options and then you can decide in which order you want to take the sections.
So the material and the philosophical section of the course is quite extensive and detailed.
I know that.
And that's also one of the things that many people love with this course, I should say.
But you can actually go through that material in two different ways, depending a little bit on your
background and what it is that you would like to focus on.
So the first option, if you're eager to hear more about that philosophical foundation or conceptual
analysis from the start, and then after that, I want to learn more about how to practically perform
concept mapping, then you should continue with the course as it is laid out.
OK, so that means that you run through the course as it is laid out.
That is the introduction which we are right now, the cognitive foundation, the philosophical foundation,
the introduction of it, and then the detailed lectures of the philosophical foundation.
Then you go to what is called the lessons learned and then you go to notation, concept, modeling techniques.
That's the workshopping part and how you package your concept model.
So that's how the course is laid out.
Option two, if you're more interested in how to perform a conceptual modeling workshop and to learn
the notation now, then later after that, take the theory, then you should start with the first overview
lecture in the philosophical section and continue to the lecture where it says that you have two options.
So that's a PDF after the lectures about concepts and then you continue to the lessons learned election
and take the other practical actions after that.
And then you can jump back to the theory if you feel that you need it during the other sections or you
can take it in the end.
So that means the option, too, is that you go through the introduction where you are right now and
the Cognitive Foundation, then you only take the introduction of the philosophical foundation.
Then you start with the lessons learned, notation, workshopping techniques, packaging and your model.
And then in parallel with that, you go through the philosophical foundation and the details so that
when you feel the need for it or in parallel, so you can take some notation lectures and then you can
take some of the philosophical lectures if you like.
