Description
We are living in an accelerated information age. Humans today have to deal with more information and respond more quickly, but their errors can be potentially disastrous. Given the increasing saliency of human error in our lives (newspapers, television, personal experiences) this class will address the question of what are the psychological and organizational underpinnings of human error.
