Assignment Instructions

This analysis project requires you to tackle a problem within your field of study by first exploring it, its causes, an
impacts. Then, if you want, you can recommend one or more practical solutions to solve the problem.

After deciding on the problem you wish to tackle, begin building questions about it. Your goal for the analysis is to
answer the questions through your sources. Finding multiple angles and perspectives is ideal so that you explore t
possibilities in the final paper before settling on your recommendation. Be sure to identify what is at stake.

Describe a problem you want to explore in your final paper. Then try
to persuade your classmates to share your view that this problem
needs to be looked at. Your initial post will have two parts:

What is the problem? Describe it in terms of who, what, where,
when, how, and why.
Why should this problem be examined? Persuade your peers
that money/time should be committed to this problem. Use the
appeals of ethos, logos, and pathos (described here in Types of
Persuasive Appeals) as appropriate to convince them that this is
an important issue to be studied and/or solved.

Responding to Others

Try responding to them using the strategies you practiced in
week 4 (responding as a skeptic, reflector, validator, or
extender).

Ask them questions about the problem they are going to
explore.

Ask them about key concerns, target audience, or the kind of
sources they might use.

Provide respectful feedback about the persuasive tactics in their
posts.

Extend the conversation, exploring topics in creative and
constructive ways.
