"Hi Vildan > do you remember any course or subject you thougt how complex it was? I remember that a lot of the maths in my physics degree was complex. One example being about integrating a formula that shoots off to infinity on a complex plane…"

Complex Tasks

I'm interested in "complex tasks" and handling with them in online environments. What kind of tasks can be called as complex? Is complexity change according to people? Are individual differences -as cognitive&non-cognitive- affecting the complexity of a given task? Is complexity a perception or a characteristic? I'm trying to understand this construct according to the two definitions in literature by Wood and Campbell..See More

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
