What is it? (the big idea)
A 7-10 problem/solution presentation (with PPT
slides) that focuses on challenges that IECP
students may face when transitioning from the IECP
to an American university and possible solutions
to those problems.
○ The primary sources of your information should
be the PSU classes that your group members
attended and the PSU student interviews that
your group members conducted.

brainstorm challenges that IECP
students may face when transitioning
from the IECP to PSU.
10. Step 2
Narrow your list of potential challenges to
those that you will be able to support with
evidence (quotes/examples/paraphrasing
from your PSU observation or PSU
Student Interview experiences).
11. Step 3
Brainstorm solutions to the challenges
that IECP students may face when
transitioning to an American university.

could pursue any suggestions that you
make.
12. Step 4
Prepare to give a 7-10 problem /solution presentation that includes:
an effective introduction
thorough explanations of at least 3 challenges that IECP students may
face when transitioning to an American University (each challenge
should be clearly explained and supported by
quotes/examples/paraphrasing from your group’s PSU class
observation and/or PSU student interviews
thoughtful proposed solutions for each of the challenges mentioned
counter objections (state objections that you anticipate IECP students
would have to you proposed solutions + counter the objections with
persuasive speech focused on why your solutions are beneficial)
an effective conclusion
13. Be Sure to Include…
at least 3 quotes/paraphrase and/or specific examples
from the PSU Student Interview Project and/or the PSU
