Olsen, F. (2000). Computer Scientist Says All Students Should
Learn to Think 'Algorithmically' Interesting article that makes a case for all
students to learn to think algorithmically (be able to dissect something into
a step by step process). Makes the point that learning something involves three
things 1) skills, 2) concepts, & 3) logical reasoning. Applicable to nursing
practice.
