This unique course makes the new, hot topic of planning with uncertainty most appealing to the eyes of
the mine planner and the mine manager alike, through
elaborate lectures, case studies, assignments, and a
course project.
The experience I had taking this course and practicing new
technologies was exceptional. I highly recommend it.
