Drawing on concepts from the project unit and your experiences in the Project, including citing/quoting
reflections from you and your team in the group discussion board and your own individual journal,
address the following:
1.) Giving examples from the Project, reflect on how your ways of thinking and working are
contributing to the Project in comparison to other ways of thinking. This should include a critical
reflection of the strengths and limitations of your approach relative to others.
2.) What potential or actual problems are arising from working on the Project with collaborators
whose ways of thinking are similar or different to your own? What strategies are you using to
avoid or resolve those problems?
3.) To what extent did your group achieve interdisciplinary learning? You may wish to discuss barriers
your team identified and/or experienced as well as strategies for overcoming these and your
learning from this process.
This is not a research task. However, in your answers, you will need to support your arguments with
concepts from the academic literature (i.e. core readings from this project) as well as specific examples
from your project experience and interactions with your group. Students will need to engage the
following texts in their assessment and include a reference list consistent with the APA 6th Referencing
Style.
