The class utilizes two tools developed by Dimensional Consulting. First, students will practice determining stack paths through playing "The Stack Path Game." The Stack Path Game has proved to be a fun and effective way to help students learn to determine stack paths. The Stack Path Game is also provided to the students for their use after the class is over.
The class also utilizes the "Stacks Wizard". The Stacks Wizard prompts students for the information needed to perform a stack. Based on the inputs, the Stacks Wizard creates the stack. The Stacks Wizard prompts the user to go through the same thought process that the user would need to go through in order to manually create a stack. The Stacks wizard is normally sold for $100 per copy, but it is provided at no extra cost to everyone who takes the Tolerance Stacks Class.
The Tolerance Stacks class covers:
Soft cover copies of the textbook are provided and used in class.
