Problem-solving
THE ASSIGNMENT
“A significant part of becoming a critical thinker is learning to solve problems. This requires close scrutiny of the issue so that you can recognize that there is a problem in the first place. Once you have identified the problem, you must commit yourself to trying to solve it. Successful problem-solvers are highly motivated and willing to persevere through the many challenges and frustrations of the problem solving process.” (Chafee)
Please follow steps 1-5 below when you are ready to complete your problem solving paper. The writing assignment is worth 100 points. You should use the same issue/problem and the same options/solutions/alternatives that you wrote about in the problem solving module discussion.
Please be sure to explain yourself clearly and thoroughly through each of these steps.
Step 1: What is the problem? What do you know about the situation? Survey the situation fully. Be as clear as you can in stating the issue/problem. (worth 20 points)
Step 2: What results are you aiming for? What is your goal in solving this issue/problem? What are the boundaries of the problem? What limitations do you have to work with? (worth 15 points)
Step 3: What are the options/solutions/alternatives? What options/solutions/alternatives are possible within the boundaries? You should have at least three options/solutions/alternatives. (worth 15 points)
Step 4: What are the advantages and disadvantages of each option/solution/alternative? What other information is needed? What additional information do you need to evaluate each option/solution or alternative? (worth 25 points)
Step 5: What is the solution? Which options/solutions or alternatives(s) will I pursue? What step are to be taken? What specific steps can I take to act on the options/solutions alternative(s) I’ve chosen? (worth 25 points)
Step 6: (This step does not have to be done for the assignment if it does not yet apply. Just don’t forget the step later.) In the future you will want to return and ask yourself: How well are the options/solution or alternatives actually working? What adjustments do I need to make or do I think I will probably have to make to my options/solutions/alternatives.
