Question 1: Reflecting

(You are advised to use 800 words to answer

Question 1) In Activity 1.9, you drew a rich picture to summarise your reflections on systemic and systematic environmental management.

For Question 1, you need to provide your original rich picture from Activity 1.9 and a reworked version, drawing on insights gained through sharing your initial rich picture and engaging with other students’ rich pictures. With specific reference to your reworked rich picture, describe:

• your understanding of the role of environmental managers the values, skills and knowledge you had before engaging with Block 1, and
• the values, skills and knowledge you think you will need in order to progress as an environmental manager.
• the synergies and/or conflicts between your lifestyle and your aspirations as the environmental manager you would like to be.

Question 2: Connecting

(You are advised to use 800 words to answer Question 2)

A key aspect of a systemic approach to environmental management is an understanding that we draw ‘boundaries’ around what we include and exclude within our decision making. The values and experiences that you have reflected upon in Question 1 provide the foundations for how these boundaries are drawn. However, these boundaries come to the surface when you select and apply practical environmental auditing techniques for identifying a range of connections with a range of environmental issues.

For Question 2, you need to select one environmental auditing technique that you engaged with in Activity 2.5. You can select one of the techniques explicitly covered in the teaching material leading into Activity 2.5, or a different technique that you chose to include in your analysis.

Provide your original spray diagram, exploring the advantages and disadvantages of your chosen environmental auditing technique, as well as a reworked version (drawing on insights gained through sharing your diagram and engaging with other students’ diagrams).

With specific reference to your reworked spray diagram, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of your chosen environmental auditing technique. Briefly describe the values, knowledge and experiences that underpinned your choice.

Question 3: Modelling

(You are advised to use 800 words to answer Question 3)

In your answer to Question 1, you reflected on your values and experiences, while in your answer to Question 2 you evaluated how a range of environmental auditing techniques connect you to different aspects of the environment. Having explored your personal position and different ways of assessing a household’s environmental impact, you will now demonstrate how you have used modelling techniques for identifying a practical intervention.

For Question 3, you need to provide your original causal loop diagram from Activity 3.6, exploring the dynamic interrelationship amongst the components affecting your chosen household’s environmental impacts, as well as a reworked version (drawing on insights gained through sharing your diagram and engaging with other students’ diagrams).

Discuss the insights you have gained from your reworked causal loop diagram, with regards to identifying a practical intervention for improving your household’s environmental impact. Briefly describe the values and experiences that you believe underpinned your visual modelling.

Question 4: Doing and Reflecting

(You are advised to use 800 words to answer Question 4)

Having worked through the four phases of the action learning cycle in Block 1, Question 4 is your opportunity to briefly describe doing your proposed intervention, and to discuss the impact of this intervention within the context of how your values, skills, knowledge and experiences have evolved during your studies of Block 1.

Evaluate, using at least one diagramming technique, how the values, skills and concepts that you have engaged with in Block 1 may have affected the outcome of your household intervention.

Discuss whether these values, skills and concepts are central or peripheral to the work of a professional environmental manager. Justify your perspective with reference to particular values, skills, knowledge and experiences.

Part A – Learning Journal
As you complete the assignment, keep track of the resources that you used and list ALL of them as part of your assignment submission.
For this part of the assignment, list the resources you used AND how you used them.
For example, you might write something like this: I found most of the definitions in the textbook. But, I had to look up the terms X and Y online and found them on this link… I figured out most of the relationship using the Crash Course video on the resources page. I also asked the instructor for some help because I couldn’t figure out where X belong in the map.
Another example: I found the definitions in these links: A, B, C. I copied most of the definitions directly from these sources, so I used quotation marks to indicate that and identified which source each definition is from.  I found the relationship information in these links: B, C, D, E.
Note: This assignment is asking you to explain a process. You should use your own words to explain the process. You can also draw pictures or create flowcharts – that can make it easier to use your own words.
Alternative Learning Journey Option: Artificial Intelligence will answer all our questions! But are the answers correct? For this journey, you will fact-check the answer provided from AI (or you can fact-check any source that provides the full answer).  This “Fact Check” Journey is an alternative version of our assignments.  To do this, identify the source and copy the full answer. Then, highlight the terms from our list. Then, find reliable sources that supports each part of the answer.  Be specific about what part the the fact-check source you are referencing and what part of the original source it supports. Fact check all parts of the answer. If you find errors in the original source, identify the site that provides the correct information.  Be sure to let me know if you are selecting this alternative journey.

 Issues and Trends Presentation Instructions 
First, select a topic. The topic can be a current issue in education, a classroom challenge (ex. lack of motivation), or simply a topic in education that you want to learn more about.
Next, research that topic. You must find and use at least three sources for your presentation. Each source should add something new to your understanding of the topic.
Once you have a good understanding of the topic, you can create the PowerPoint presentation.

The presentation should be visually appealing and easy to follow. Do not overcrowd the slides.
Your presentation should be well-rounded and provide a full overview of the topic and what you learned. Make sure that the topic is narrow enough that you could provide an overview in the allotted number of slides. The research that you did should drive the presentation.
You should provide additional details in the notes section. These notes should be written as if you could use them as a script for a live presentation. They will be much more detailed than what is on the slides.
The content on your slides and in your notes should all be written at a graduate level.

 
Introduce the article. Your introduction should include a description of the article’s purpose, audience, and significance. Why was the article written? Who was it written for? Why is it important / why did it need to be written?
Describe two key points from the article. The points can be something you think is particularly important or interesting; however, they should also be central to the article. You should summarize the key points in your own words. Don’t forget to use in-text citations when paraphrasing. For each point, provide sufficient detail to show that you truly understand the article.
Describe what this article means to you. What experiences have you had with the topic? What do you take away from it?

Requirements
The two central aims of this assignment are to apply a middle-range nursing theory to clinical practice and to reflect on the experience. Consider the problem described in discussion nine. Write a paper (1,000 to 1,500 words, Approximately three pages) that explains how middle-range theory can be applied to the identified problem. The paper should include the following:
A summary of the problem (nursing situation). Describe a nursing situation you have encountered in your clinical placement. The situation can be a specific physiological patient problem or a case involving a vulnerable patient’s family or a staff member. It can also describe your role in problem-solving or an ethical issue you encountered in practice. The key is you need to have been directly involved in the event. You must also maintain the confidentiality of your subjects at all times. Do not identify the patient, staff, or hospital site.
A description of a middle-range theory that could be applied to the problem. Is this middle-range theory appropriate to your identified situation? For example, health promotion, especially preventive care, is essential for ethnic minority groups and
the economically disadvantaged. The Health Promotion Model (HPM) (Pender, 1996; Pender et al., 2010) is a framework for delivering nursing care to support health promotion behaviors.  An essential component of a nursing assessment is understanding personal factors (e.g., lack of finances to afford health insurance) and an individual’s perception of the benefits and barriers of engaging in health promotion behaviors. Screening recommendations and health promotion practices can be tailored to the patient’s and family’s cultural values and beliefs, finances, and community support when working with vulnerable populations.
A brief discussion of the middle-range theory’s origins includes a short biography of the theorist and the main concepts of the middle-range theory ( See discussion nine).
Discuss how the middle-range theory has been previously applied  ( See discussion nine ).
A discussion of the application of the middle-range theory to the identified problem. How would your practice change by incorporating this theory?
The paper should be 2-3 pages, excluding the title and reference pages.
The paper should start with an introductory paragraph that includes the purpose statement.
Use headings and subheadings to organize the paper.
