challenges.
We will have discussions on each of the topics (issues) and the structure will be to
facilitate student inquiry into the specific topic of your choice. Your participation
will rely on accumulated information and knowledge acquired from the preceding
four parts of the course. You should start by reviewing previous readings and
lectures that are relevant to your topic. Next, read the essay in Part 5 of theReader
(beginning on page 169) that is relevant to your chosen Think Tank topic. This will
give you a perspective on the issue. A modest amount of additional research will
follow. We will discuss the requirements of this assignment more fully on
April 13th .
In the end the Collaborative Think Tank will offer to each student a cumulative
learning experience to bring together a full comprehension of people, places, and
environment.
