For this experiment you are to go to a BUSY public place on campus or at the mall, at a shopping center, in the student union, etc. Once you have arrived at this place, locate a convenient standing perch that is out of the way of traffic and business. Relax and take a deep breath. OK, now here is your assignment, just stand still and do nothing for 10 minutes. After recording your thoughts in these handwritten field notes, write/type up a description of your experience.
1. Name and description of the place you did this experiment (1 paragraph).

2. Describe what happened to you while “doing nothing” (1 page).
3-Could you go there and be neutral in your scientific observations when so much goes on in your head just standing and doing nothing? Why or Why Not? (rest of paper)

Overall Objective:
Find a current article pertaining to environmental science and apply class topics and learning outcomes to the article for a group discussion on the holistic theme of “Ecosystem Functions”.

Instructions:
FIRST……Find the Article!
Find a news article that is dated from March 1, 2012 or more current.
Print out the article – note that you will be turning in this article for grading on the day of the discussion. You can submit the copy that has been highlighted or has notes on it; as long as I can read the article you may submit that copy.
You may use various sources for articles, including library databases, periodicals, and newspapers. The library is a GREAT place to start looking for an article. I highly recommend looking at a few different periodicals (such as National Geographic, Popular Science, Environment, National Wildlife, etc.); find an article that you are genuinely interested in……the assignment will be much less painful if you choose the subject and are engaged!
If you use an article from a database, the entire article must be included and not just the “abstract”. Please note that articles from internet sources that do not have a corresponding hardcopy in print are NOT acceptable (i.e. a newspaper found online and also in print is okay but an article only found on a website is NOT acceptable).
When choosing articles, please keep in mind that while there is no required minimum length, there must be enough content to apply class topics. Consequently, an article with only a few paragraphs is very unlikely to be suitable for this assignment.
Please do not hesitate to ask for help in the library; learning to navigate through the library and being exposed to the varied resources available will be extremely helpful for you as you continue on in your academic career.

Second…..Read the Article!
Read the article….several times. Each time you will likely pick up different pieces of information and possibly be spurred on to related thoughts.
Read the article sloooooowly ? and highlight different pertinent pieces of information.

Third…….Summarize Information (this section will be turned in and must be typed using paper saving techniques as discussed in the syllabus)
Outline the article using bullet points (NO complete sentences or essay style writing)
Source must be cited using APA format (please put immediately after the end of your text – a separate page is not necessary).
Pick two to three Learning Outcomes with an asterisk at the end (*) and incorporate those outcomes as it applies to your article. Warning: this will likely require you to think outside the box! ? Type the outcomes out and briefly explain the application for each one.
Do you believe the “Ecosystem Approach” was considered in the research and/or writing of the article? Why/why not?
Lastly, under the “Think Critically, Creatively, and Reflectively” category of outcomes, apply the specific learning outcome denoted by three asterisks: “Examine and generate sustainable solutions to environmental problems” (***). Consider and reflect on at least one possible sustainable solution for mitigating the impact of human alterations that are [inevitably] discussed in your article. Are there any challenges to implementing your solution? What are the benefits of using this solution over other possible scenarios?
Are there any possible incorrect statements made in the article (briefly explain). Do you agree with statements made?

NOTE:
This should be a creative and thought provoking activity; try to integrate the various ideas presented and discussed during class and relate it to current news articles. Apply and relate the articles to the given area/situation, but also take it outside of the constraints it was written for – in other words, apply it globally and locally. Environmental issues are inherently complex and incorporate many different disciplines. Hence, the purpose is to develop a holistic and integrated thought process regarding environmental issues. While some of the analysis can be subjective, I expect most of the discussion to be related to objective information presented in class and in your textbook.

**All written information is to be in an outline/bullet format (except for citation)**
(complete sentences tend to foster reading of the material to your classmates……which is boooooooring! ? The objective is to have a ‘discussion’ and not be read to by fellow classmates.)

Task

The task is based on the current situation in Libya. For the last 18 months there has been an extremely serious conflict within Libya and the regime has been overthrown. There is, however, continuing violence and a collection of various groups who are seeking access to the political system. As such Libya is an excellent example of what we have been talking about in class.

Your task is to draft a briefing paper for a non-specialist group – that can be read and understood by policymakers and the public – on the advantages and disadvantages of international intervention and the implications for reconstruction following this conflict.

Further, your plan should identify controls (i.e., administrative, preventative, detective, and corrective) that will be used to mitigate each risk previously identified.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

For each malicious attack and threat identified in Assignment 1, choose a strategy for dealing with the risk (i.e., risk mitigation, risk assignment, risk acceptance, or risk avoidance).
For each malicious attack and threat identified in Assignment 1, develop controls (i.e., administrative, preventative, detective, and corrective) that will be used to mitigate each risk.
For each vulnerability identified in Assignment 1, choose a strategy for dealing with the risk (i.e., risk mitigation, risk assignment, risk acceptance, or risk avoidance).
For each vulnerability identified in Assignment 1, develop controls (i.e., administrative, preventative, detective, and corrective) that will be used to mitigate each risk.

Start with an introduction to the general area of research (but don’t make this too general), followed by some content that explains the specific focus of your research (don’t phrase the purpose as a formal research question and/or hypothesis; instead, explain the specific purpose of the research in text form). This section concludes by pointing out the significance/importance of your research for communication scholars, practitioners (including educators), and/or the general public.
