Inorder to allow students to visit topics in an exploratory fashion, the Study Buddy maintains a listof completed course outcomes and compares this list to the entire set of targeted outcomes. Bynot requiring that these outcomes be satisfied sequentially, the student is able to suggest whichtopics to visit. Thus, the conversation can unfold in a non-linear fashion as natural conversations Page 22.1697.5do.
