Instead, they take remedial actions to make the problem less visible and implement a patchwork of ad hoc solutions they hope will prevent recurrence. Evidently when the problem returns, they get frustrated, and the cycle repeats. In this online course the learner is taught the skills required to conduct effective problem solving.
