How do we get people to reuse?

Your group met in class and chose a topic surrounding “social change” to work on for this team project and framed a question to solve. For those of you not in class today,
someone from your group will send you the topic and question they came up with to solve. (A few groups were 100% no-shows, so you have to find ways to determine a group
project to solve. The Sympl app you downloaded in class is one way to find times to meet. You can also write each other in group emails. If you don’t receive an email from
someone in your group, you may fall into this category.)
Attendance will be taken for the remainder of the class project and 10 points will be deducted from your grade each time you are a no-show without a medical excuse.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. RESEARCH THE TOPIC YOUR GROUP CHOSE EXACTLY AS EXPLAINED BELOW
2. FRAME A NEW QUESTION FROM THE ONE CHOSEN IN CLASS WITH YOUR NEW UNDERSTANDING OF THE REALITIES SURROUNDING THE TOPIC
PART 1: RESEARCH
This assignment begins our group project to solve a complex problem, which is a type of problem that seems unsolvable, hence, it’s desperately in need of a creative
solution, one that has never been thought of before. That’s where your group will come in, to try to find a way to lessen the impact of your chosen problem that will bring about
social change.
Why research the topic? The original question you framed in class during your group meeting (“How might we….?”) is based on a hunch about how things actually are
surrounding your social-change issue. t’s critical that you learn about and understand a problem if you hope to come up with a realistic way to solve it.
So, research the specific area you asked a question about that you thought you might like can try to solve. What are the realities?
Your new knowledge on this topic will cause you to frame a better question.
TYPES OF RESEARCH YOU MUST DO, AND HOW TO FORMAT IT FOR TURNING IN
Complete sections A and B.
A. FACTS:
Answer the eight questions below about your topic. Make sure you:

Create PDF in your applications with the Pdfcrowd HTML to PDF API PDFCROWD

Answer each question with at least five full sentences using your own words, no cutting and pasting.)
Come up with two questions of your own.
If you found your answers answers online, YOU MUST include links to the source(s) used for each question below each answer. (not in a grouping at the end of your
document). If you interview an expert for some answers, provide their full name and contact information.
Number each question and include the question before each answer
QUESTIONS TO ANSWER (with at least 5 sentences each)
1. Why is this a problem?
2. Who is impacted or hurt by this problem and why?
3. What is the history of the issue?
4. What have others done to address this problem?
5. What numbers (i.e., demographics, incidents, etc.) can you find on this topic? Be specific.
6. What are the costs involved?
7. You ask a question
8. You ask a question
B. HUNCHES: Provide TEN hunches and number them.
WHAT IS A HUNCH?
A hunch is something you, or someone else, BELIEVES to be a fact, but there is no data on it, such as “Students hate taking the bus on campus.” This may be true,
but have they done a survey? I think not. So, t’s a hunch, an opinion. What hunches do you have surrounding your topic?
Why do we care about hunches? A hunch can lead to a good solution. Hunches can later prove to be true, so they’re worth investigating.
An opinion: A view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge, such as the beliefs or views of a large number or majority of
people about a particular thing. Having a belief about something does not make it a fact. What are people’s feelings, attitudes, frustrations, behaviors, hearsay, and
intuitions?
