Introduction to Value Tree Analysis
The module consists of three parts:- In the theory part the use of value tree analysis is illustrated with
an example case. Theory is briefly summarised and then applied to the case context.
- In the assignment part the Web-HIPRE software is used for solving a simple decision-making problem. A brief report is written with the help of a precompleted report template.
- In the evaluation part you can give feedback on the assignment and the learning environment with the Opinions Online system.

| Assignment |
1. Download the report template (Word), (HTML).
2. Apply value tree analysis to a decision problem in Web-HIPRE.
The purpose of this assignment is to make you familiar with value tree analysis in Web-HIPRE by creating your own value tree. You may use Web-HIPRE and write the report simultaneously.
3. Complete the report and print out your answers.
