As another faculty member said: “It is the whole process. So I mean if they tried and they did an amazing job and happen not to produce the final product, then they might still get an A. If they had an easy task and did it and then didn’t try than challenge themselves more, then they might not get an A. They might not get a B.”For

.4 In acomplex system, this has a number of implications regarding the iterative development ofmultiple models. In particular, for a target model A and a peripheral model B, changes in modelB can effect model A without the mathematical or descriptive form of model A being adjusted.This is due to the change in focus of the user’s attention. When new features or relationshipsbecome apparent, different aspects of the applicability of model A may become apparent.In the next stage of modeling, evaluation, any number of influences cause a user to considerchanging the target model. Interactions with the target system (use of the model or otherinteraction) or other representations can prompt the evaluation process.32,33

What implications do our cases suggest for: a) individual researchers interested in trying to do this type of work, b) researchers wondering if this type of work is relevant to their topic, and c) a community trying to decide if and how to value this type of work?By sharing our
