Ideas And Questions That Will Be Discussed In The Research Process

This first step of the project design process will form the foundation that each team will use to develop their final research project Week 14. We will devote most of our class to development, discussion, and planning.
Getting started. In What Ways Might We...IWWMW
Empathy: Start looking around for ideas that will form the beginning of your project. Identify potential problems or ideas you would like to explore and study.
In what ways might we? (IWWMW?) are questions that provoke you to think harder about a topic or a problem. There are different types of questions that come to mind, The Challenge is to come up with a question that does not have a simple answer, instead, it inspires us to look more deeply
Samples to consider
IWWMW-Explore the importance of open discourse and disagreement as a tool for learning? (improve an experience)
IWWMW-Explore ways to help students reduce stress, improve quality and get more work done. (Improve performance)
IWWMW-find ways to manage our use of technology to improve balance and quality of life.
IWWMW-raise awareness and sensitivity to gender-related issues that make our friends and colleagues unhappy and uncomfortable (quality of life/human rights)
