Picking and Naming Variables
The choice of words is vital. Each variable must be a noun. Avoid the use of verbs or directional adjectives. For any variable, always have in mind a specific unit of measure so that the variable can be quantified.
Basic Tips
identify loop types using R or B to signify reinforcing or balancing. Always circle the R or B with a small curve travelling in the same direction as the feedback loop itself.
