Why learn: Apply decisions to messages and distinguish absence of evidence from a negative response.
Key concepts: context, criteria, and evidence applied to lesson 5.1.
- Sales and scheduling together

Why learn: Apply decisions to messages and distinguish absence of evidence from a negative response.
Key concepts: context, criteria, and evidence applied to lesson 5.2.

A model that’s pressured to answer only yes or no can choose an option even when the object of the confirmation is missing.
Why learn: Apply decisions to messages and distinguish absence of evidence from a negative response.
Key concepts: context, criteria, and evidence applied to lesson 5.3.
