Problem Solving
1. Identify one problem
2. List all possible solutions
3. Pros and cons of each solution
4. Select one solution
5. Make an action plan
6. Implement the plan
7. Review: return to step 4 (or earlier step) if necessary

Trouble shooting
• Problem too big Break it down into smaller chunks
• Too many problems Pick one at a time to solve

Trouble shooting
• Can’t think of solutions Ask what have I done in the past? Ask friends. Google it.
• Solution didn’t work Go back to step 4 (or earlier if you have new information) and choose another solution

Trouble shooting
• Can’t decide which solution choose one, perhaps one that seems easiest. Remember the solution doesn’t have to be perfect, and trying something can help get you unstuck.
