In this discussion assignment, you will use research as a starting point to begin brainstorming and gathering information for your
month-long writing assignment.
The research will likely begin broadly and then narrow in focus. You will research potential industry role models and then choose one
role model to focus on. Do further research on your chosen role model to discover what tools and methods he/she has to used to solve
problems and persevere against work-related setbacks, obstacles, or failures. Specifically, find:
One problem your role model encountered and three or more methods used to solve it, or
Three or more problems, and one specific method used to solve each problem.
To find three quality sources that are useful and revenant, you will likely need to examine many more potential sources during the
process. For best results, begin your research as soon as possible
Type of source/type of article (e.g., book, magazine article, website, podcast, video, etc.)
Author(s) of article or creator(s) of audio/video
Date of publication or copyright
Title of source (i.e. the article, podcast, etc.)
If the source is part of a larger work (e.g., a chapter in a book or article in a magazine or on a website), include the larger work’s
title.
Also, If your source is one of the following, include this information:
Book: city, state, and name of publisher
Magazine, newspapers or journal: volume, issue, and page numbers (If found through a library database, also include the digital object
identifier [doi] or accession number.)
Website: browser URL (include the date you visited the site if information on the site could change, such as box office numbers.)
Summarize & Contextualize
For each source, you will write a one-paragraph summary plus a second “reaction” paragraph that demonstrates critical thinking about
what you can have learned and considers how you can apply this knowledge to solve problems you may encounter.
