Midterm ASSIGNMENT Instructions:
Please answer the following questions using the research you have conducted thus far. Your responses should be written in paragraph form, with clear references to your sources to support any claims made. Be sure to copy each question into the document containing your responses. There are three questions, each worth 33.3 points.
1. Project Development Challenges: What new questions or challenges have arisen as you've worked on your project? Reflect deeply on your progress; if you haven't identified any new questions or challenges, it may indicate a need for deeper analysis. Consider how perspectives from your major concentration(s) have influenced your understanding of these challenges. Be sure to draw on specific theories, concepts, or methods from your major concentration(s) to support your analysis.
2. Wicked Problem Analysis: Describe the key issues that make the problem your project addresses a "wicked problem." Include specific examples of the unique challenges and dominant perspectives that shape this problem. Explain how interdisciplinary perspectives from your major concentration(s) have helped you navigate these complexities. When applying interdisciplinary perspectives, consider how different disciplines within your major concentration(s) or related fields can be integrated to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the issues.
3. Socio-Cultural Context, Climate Impact, and Interdisciplinary Application: All interdisciplinary problems exist within complex socio-cultural settings. Provide specific examples of the climate change impacts your project aims to address. Explain why these impacts make your project worth pursuing, and discuss how the interdisciplinary perspectives from your major concentration(s) have contributed to your approach. Ensure that your discussion is grounded in the relevant theories, concepts, or methods from your major concentration(s).
Make sure to clearly indicate which question each of your responses corresponds to. All sources should be cited according to [specific citation style, e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago]. A portion of the points for each question will be awarded based on how effectively you integrate interdisciplinary perspectives from your major concentration(s).
