Key points
A short piece on the assumptions, modeling choices, and practical relevance behind this topic.
- Risk assessment becomes teachable when students can connect it to a concrete engineering decision rather than a generic checklist.
- Testing concepts land better when state behaviour and modelling assumptions are part of the same conversation.
- Repeated course runs make it easier to see which explanations actually transfer and which only sound precise to the instructor.
