INTS 210: Sustainable World Wingfield Fall, 2016 Sources & Destinations Essay This assignment asks you to produce a research-based essay on something you use/consume routinely in your daily life. This can be a food item, a type of fuel, or something more durable, such as an article of clothing or an electronic device. The possibilities are limitless. Your job is to account as thoroughly as possible for this item’s contribution to your overall ecological footprint. To do this, you will need to research information such as where it comes from, how and by whom it is made, the origins of its raw material inputs, packaging, and how (and how far) it travels to reach you. You will also want to account for what happens to this item when you finish with it. Your essay should relate explicitly to principles and practices of sustainability as explored in this course. Essays must consider both the item’s physical impact on the earth and the positive and/or negative impacts the item has on human communities involved in and affected by its production, transport, and/or disposal. You must choose to emphasize either the physical or the social, rather than both. You are expected to also convey an awareness of the other’s impacts (i.e., if you focus on the physical, you must convey an awareness of the social, and vice-versa). All essays should also explore and address more sustainable alternatives to the item under consideration. Your audience for this essay is an intelligent general readership. The essay should be between 2000 and 3000 words long (that’s 7 to 10 pages of double-spaced text if you’re using standard one inch margins and 12 point font). In addition, your essay must include a bibliography (using MLA or APA format) of all sources cited with information drawn from each of the following source categories (the guidelines below are a minimum): • 2 scholarly sources from books and/or peer-reviewed journals • 3 high quality and reliable websites —Wikipedia will NOT be accepted as a credible source • 3 other high quality and reliable sources of your choice Learning Objectives • To develop research skills within the field of sustainability studies and use these skills to heighten your awareness of your own ecological footprint. • To use written communication skills to inform others about ways consumption practices in the developed world can affect the earth and other humans. • To think critically about the environmental and social implications of your own and others’ habits. The Sequence The structure of the assignment helps to support your development of ideas for this project over the duration of the course. Here’s the sequence: Ecological Footprint Reading and Quiz—Discuss in class on 9/26. Topic Exploration (posted to Blackboard by 11:59 on 9/30)—Preliminary list of sources (at least six per topic) and reflection on two possible topics. Two double-spaced pages, 20 points poss.

Review Instructions for Essay 4--The Research Paper
The instructions and guides for the research paper are linked below.
In this class you have a rare opportunity to develop, revise/edit, and resubmit your work. Your revised exploratory paper (Essay 2) will become the introduction to your research paper. The revised position paper (Essay 3) will become the body. In addition, you will create a conclusion or "solutions" section for the final project. Note, however, that significant revisions are expected, so you should carefully review the edited draft and rubric evaluations for both essays 2/3 before you begin your final essay.
The final research papers must meet ALL of the minimum criteria for the assignment (in terms of structure, development, documentation style, quality and number of research sources, and writing skills) to be eligible for a score. In other words, you must receive a mark of "competent" in all of these areas to receive a grade for this assignment.
English 103: Essay 4—Research Paper
In the Research Paper, you will further develop, revise, and build upon the single perspective argument you have been developing all semester. Your final assignment should demonstrate your ability to apply the principles of argument discussed in the class throughout the semester and it should demonstrate your ability to use critical thinking when discussing a controversial issue.
Directions:
Prepare an 8-10 page research essay that builds upon the single perspective argument paper. The purpose of this assignment is to build upon what you have already created in the course. Therefore, the introduction of your research paper should be drawn from your Exploratory Paper, laying the foundation for the reader by presenting all sides of the issue, the exigence, etc. The body should be drawn from the Position Paper, which incorporates research to support your claim and sub-claims. Obviously, you cannot include the entire portion of each of the previous papers, and your final research paper should show that you’ve developed areas requiring development and made significant revisions to those sections of your papers requiring revision. The idea is to pull sections and points from previous essays. Use comments from me to revise those papers as you incorporate portions of them into this final project.
In addition to revising/developing the exploratory and position papers to serve as the introduction and body of the research paper, you will write an extended conclusion in which you focus on a viable solution and/or conclusion to the issue. For the conclusion, provide a means of solving the problem indicated by your topic. Consider the audience, establish common ground, and provide details for how to implement the solution. For example, if the position paper argued that bilingual education is necessary in California schools, the solution would discuss how to implement bilingual education programs in our California schools.

An Overview of Ethnic Studies/Race & Resistance StudiesPage
Ethnic Studies!
Mission & Purpose: The College of Ethnic Studies provides safe academic spaces for all to learn the histories, cultures, and intellectual traditions of Native peoples and communities of color in the U.S. in the first-person and also practice theories of resistance and liberation to eliminate racism and other forms of oppression.
The College was founded on principles of community based research and teaching, student leadership and activism, and the self-determination of communities of color. Its work is anchored in, but not limited to, social justice movements among indigenous and oppressed peoples of the United States. More than forty years ago the College of Ethnic Studies emerged from a collective struggle for self-determination and this quest continues to be the organizing principle of the college.
We recognize the validity of multiple paradigms in the construction of knowledge and encourage the integrated study of all aspects of the human experience. Our commitment to self-determination is reflected in the College's founding curricular emphases on liberatory student-centered pedagogies and community participatory learning that promote creative thinking on combating social problems and disparities in communities of color and indigenous peoples.
Race and Resistance Studies Department:
The program in Race and Resistance Studies offers coursework that examines how institutions such as education, healthcare, penal systems, and popular culture affect and oppress communities of color and Native peoples. More importantly, students examine the creative and complex ways in communities of color and Native peoples respond and resist institutional and social inequality. In doing so, program curriculum explores how domestic issues are shaped by transnational processes and how oppressions and resistances are shaped by intersections of race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality. The Race and Resistance Studies Program offers a minor undergraduate degree. Additionally, the program houses new areas of study that may become free-standing units. Currently, we are in the midst of implementing our newest initiative in Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diaspora (AMED) Studies. (SFSU Website) http://ethnicstudies.sfsu.edu/depts2

Sustainable Living Guide Contributions, Part 1 of 4: Sustaining Biodiversity and Ecosystems
[WLO: 2] [CLOs: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapters 1 and 4 in the Turk and Bensel’s Contemporary Environmental Issues textbook (2014).
The purpose of this assignment is twofold: first, to enable you to explore a term (concept, technique, place, etc.) related to this week’s theme of sustaining Earth’s biodiversity and ecosystems; second, to provide your first contribution to a collective project, the Class Sustainable Living Guide. Your work this week, and in the weeks that follow, will be gathered (along with that of your peers) into a master document you will receive a few days after the end of the course. The document will provide everyone with a variety of ideas for how we can all live more sustainably in our homes and communities.
To complete this assignment, you will

Resource Management document 10.docx
Research Project – Resource Management, Pollution Prevention and Control, and Sustainability
The project involves the selection of a suitable environmental/sustainability management topic. Students will be asked to properly describe the selected topic,
conduct a suitable research, write a draft manuscript and effectively turn the gathered information into a powerpoint slides presentation that could be used to support an oral presentation.
The topic may be selected from a wide variety of sources ranging from an environmental problem in any place in the world, real-world case studies, to the use of
energy sources and alternative energy sources at a community. Students will select one TOPIC and conduct preliminary research using the University library and local libraries. A short list of topics is included below to assist you in the selection of your topic. Subtopics are in parenthesis.

Literature Review Paper (25%)
What is a Literature Review?
It is very important that you know what a literature is, its purpose, and how it is organized. A literature review is a summary of previous research on a topic. Its' purpose is to review the scholarly literature relevant to the topic you are studying. Some questions you may think about as you develop your literature review:
· What is known about the subject?
· Are there any gaps in the knowledge of the subject?
· Is there consensus about the topic (subtopics)?
· What aspects have generated significant debate on the topic?
· What methods or problems were identified by others studying in the field?
· What is the current status of research in this area or what direction do researchers feel need to be addressed in the future?
How do you write a Literature Review?
Summarize and explain what research has been done on the topic, citing the sources as you mention them. Point out the different ways researchers have treated the topic. Point out any connections between the sources especially where one source built upon prior study. Explain how this past work fits together and where scholars believe future research is headed.
You will be required to write a literature review on a specific (pre-approved) gender communication topic. This paper is to be presented in proper APA format (with the exception that it must be single spaced NOT double spaced) and it should be six full single spaced pages in length (not including the title page and the references page). This paper should expand your knowledge of the subject area, clearly demonstrate your vast understanding of the topic to the professor and provide readers with the most current, scholarly research on the topic.

· provide a body section that is well organized with sub-sections of the various important aspects of your topics that are properly cited with in-text citations (use subheadings to organize the body of your paper) 5 pages in length
· end with your conclusion (provides closure to your paper) 1/4 page in length -be sure to label your conclusion
· provide a list of references in proper APA format (on a separate page entitled "References")
· Note the page requirements above and adhere to them. You may be over requirement for each section, but not under.
· Make sure the vast majority of your literature review is paraphrased (use direct quotations sparingly).

Assignment: Agenda Comparison Grid and Fact Sheet or Talking Points Brief
It may seem to you that healthcare has been a national topic of debate among political leaders for as long as you can remember.
Healthcare has been a policy item and a topic of debate not only in recent times but as far back as the administration of the second U.S. president, John Adams. In 1798, Adams signed legislation requiring that 20 cents per month of a sailor’s paycheck be set aside for covering their medical bills. This represented the first major piece of U.S. healthcare legislation, and the topic of healthcare has been woven into presidential agendas and political debate ever since.
As a healthcare professional, you may be called upon to provide expertise, guidance and/or opinions on healthcare matters as they are debated for inclusion into new policy. You may also be involved in planning new organizational policy and responses to changes in legislation. For all of these reasons you should be prepared to speak to national healthcare issues making the news.
In this Assignment, you will analyze recent presidential healthcare agendas. You also will prepare a fact sheet to communicate the importance of a healthcare issue and the impact on this issue of recent or proposed policy.
To Prepare:
Review the agenda priorities of the
current/sitting U.S. president and the two previous presidential administrations.
Select an issue related to healthcare that was addressed by each of the last three U.S. presidential administrations.
Reflect on the focus of their respective agendas, including the allocation of financial resources for addressing the healthcare issue you selected.
Consider how you would communicate the importance of a healthcare issue to a legislator/policymaker or a member of their staff for inclusion on an agenda.
The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Comparison Grid, 1-Page Analysis, and 1-page Fact Sheet)
Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid
Use the Agenda Comparison Grid Template found in the Learning Resources and complete the Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid based on the current/sitting U.S. president and the two previous presidential administrations and their agendas related to the public health concern you selected. Be sure to address the following:
Identify and provide a brief description of the population health concern you selected and the factors that contribute to it.
Describe the administrative agenda focus related to the issue you selected.
Identify the allocations of financial and other resources that the current and two previous presidents dedicated to this issue.
Explain how each of the presidential administrations approached the issue.

Per Fennelly (2017-182), “Why do Employees steal?” employee stealing is a multiple part operation.
Most organizations are often intolerant and impatient to verify employee’s identity and background and establish trust due to the time-consuming nature of daily assignments.
Most organizations often ignore to establish and adopt on-board ecological waste management action plans to deal with discarded materials, shredded left-over documents and magnetic media and placing fragments in isolated location.
Nonetheless, organizations must learn to support and train employers who are assigned to work and protect the organization data center, facilities and resources. Large segments of any organizations’ facility managers are often none-aggressive and choose short cuts in discharging assigned services by posting passwords on the screen and leaving confidential documents lying out on the table and uploading same document to associates, husbands, loved ones and competitors. Most authorized users within the organization are often the puniest linkage in any security operation.

Your
audience
for this paper is other students in the class who have read these poems. You can assume that your reader has the poems in front of him or her, so you don’t need to quote the whole poem, though a brief paraphrase might be useful. You will need to quote specific lines, phrases, or words in order to point out specific features of the poems. Your
purpose
is to help your reader see the
differences and similarities
in the two poems and, consequently, to better understand how each one works to create its particular effects or meanings.

1. Compare and contrast the ways Whitman’s “To a Locomotive in
Winter
” (p. 504) and Dickinson’s “I like to see it lap the Miles” (p. 504-05) represent their common subject: a locomotive. What claims does each poem make about the locomotive? What tone or attitude is taken towards the locomotive? How does each poem use specific poetic devices to create its tone?
2. Compare and contrast the ways Lovelace’s “To
Lucasta
” (p. 521) and Owens’ “
Dulce
et
Decorum

For this assignment, put yourself in the place of a person living during this time who traveled extensively throughout Europe by selecting six pieces of art or architecture that you found personally to be the most interesting and important examples that date from this period in history. You should have 2 examples from each of the time periods specific to the Middle Ages: two examples from the Early Middle ages, two that represent the Romanesque, and two that represent Gothic art.
Your objects need to date between 400 CE and 1300 CE—the time span that encompasses the Early Middle Ages, Romanesque, and Gothic periods.
You are going to create a travel journal and itinerary for other students who will travel with you to your points of interest. Create a PowerPoint presentation of seven slides, including an introduction, your five destinations, and a conclusion. On each slide, include the image of the artwork or architecture, and the following information about the image:

Assignment Purpose:
The first part of this assignment will assist you in identifying a topic which you will work with for subsequent activities in the course. The second part of the assignment helps you articulate what constitutes plagiarism.
Part 1:
In this course you will be using a variety of resources and research tools. This activity will guide you in formulating a topic to use for later assignments in this course.
1. What is something you are curious about? What is something you see out in the world that you want to know more about? Perhaps think of health, business, or socio-cultural issues. Write it here:
_______________________________________________________________________
(Need help selecting a topic? Review the Research Topic Starting Points for EN 104, EN 106, EN 111, and EN 116 guide from the Herzing University Library. Browse some of the resources linked there for generating topic ideas. http://herzing.libguides.com/research_topic_starting_points)

· Takes a position – doesn’t just state facts.
· It is specific and provable.
· It passes the “so what?” test.
Include your thesis statement here:
Part 2:
The following paragraph is from this source:Spiranec, S., &Mihaela, B. Z. (2010). Information literacy 2.0: Hype or discourse refinement? Journal of Documentation, 66(1), 140-153. doi:http://dx.doi.org.prx-herzing.lirn.net/10.1108/00220411011016407
Web 2.0 is currently changing what it means to be an information literate person or community…. The erosion did not begin with Web 2.0 but had started considerably earlier and became evident with the first web document without an identifiable author or indication of origin. Generally, this erosion comes naturally with the advancement towards electronic environments. In the era of print culture the information context was based on textual permanence, unity and identifiable authorship, and was therefore stable. The appearance of Web 1.0 has already undermined .

· What is known about the subject?
· Are there any gaps in the knowledge of the subject?
· Is there consensus about the topic (subtopics)?
· What aspects have generated significant debate on the topic?
· What methods or problems were identified by others studying in the field?
· What is the current status of research in this area or what direction do researchers feel need to be addressed in the future?
How do you write a Literature Review?
Summarize and explain what research has been done on the topic, citing the sources as you mention them. Point out the different ways researchers have treated the topic. Point out any connections between the sources especially where one source built upon prior study. Explain how this past work fits together and where scholars believe future research is headed.

Assignment: Agenda Comparison Grid and Fact Sheet or Talking Points Brief
It may seem to you that healthcare has been a national topic of debate among political leaders for as long as you can remember.
Healthcare has been a policy item and a topic of debate not only in recent times but as far back as the administration of the second U.S. president, John Adams. In 1798, Adams signed legislation requiring that 20 cents per month of a sailor’s paycheck be set aside for covering their medical bills. This represented the first major piece of U.S. healthcare legislation, and the topic of healthcare has been woven into presidential agendas and political debate ever since.
As a healthcare professional, you may be called upon to provide expertise, guidance and/or opinions on healthcare matters as they are debated for inclusion into new policy. You may also be involved in planning new organizational policy and responses to changes in legislation. For all of these reasons you should be prepared to speak to national healthcare issues making the news.
In this Assignment, you will analyze recent presidential healthcare agendas. You also will prepare a fact sheet to communicate the importance of a healthcare issue and the impact on this issue of recent or proposed policy.
To Prepare:
Review the agenda priorities of the
current/sitting U.S. president and the two previous presidential administrations.
Select an issue related to healthcare that was addressed by each of the last three U.S. presidential administrations.
Reflect on the focus of their respective agendas, including the allocation of financial resources for addressing the healthcare issue you selected.
Consider how you would communicate the importance of a healthcare issue to a legislator/policymaker or a member of their staff for inclusion on an agenda.
The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Comparison Grid, 1-Page Analysis, and 1-page Fact Sheet)
Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid
Use the Agenda Comparison Grid Template found in the Learning Resources and complete the Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid based on the current/sitting U.S. president and the two previous presidential administrations and their agendas related to the public health concern you selected. Be sure to address the following:
Identify and provide a brief description of the population health concern you selected and the factors that contribute to it.
Describe the administrative agenda focus related to the issue you selected.
Identify the allocations of financial and other resources that the current and two previous presidents dedicated to this issue.
Explain how each of the presidential administrations approached the issue.

Per Fennelly (2017-182), “Why do Employees steal?” employee stealing is a multiple part operation.
Most organizations are often intolerant and impatient to verify employee’s identity and background and establish trust due to the time-consuming nature of daily assignments.
Most organizations often ignore to establish and adopt on-board ecological waste management action plans to deal with discarded materials, shredded left-over documents and magnetic media and placing fragments in isolated location.
Nonetheless, organizations must learn to support and train employers who are assigned to work and protect the organization data center, facilities and resources. Large segments of any organizations’ facility managers are often none-aggressive and choose short cuts in discharging assigned services by posting passwords on the screen and leaving confidential documents lying out on the table and uploading same document to associates, husbands, loved ones and competitors. Most authorized users within the organization are often the puniest linkage in any security operation.

Assignment:
For Paper #2, you will pick two poems on a similar theme to
compare and contrast
. Your paper will explain how the poems use some of the poetic devices we’ve been discussing to express distinct attitudes towards their common subject. It will point out the
similarities and differences
in the ways the two poems do
this
. Therefore, you will need to compare and contrast the general tones of the poems as well as how they use poetic devices to create those tones. Poetic devices you might want to consider include diction, imagery, figurative language, sound (including rhyme, alliteration, assonance, rhythm, and meter), and form.
Your
audience
for this paper is other students in the class who have read these poems. You can assume that your reader has the poems in front of him or her, so you don’t need to quote the whole poem, though a brief paraphrase might be useful. You will need to quote specific lines, phrases, or words in order to point out specific features of the poems. Your
purpose
is to help your reader see the
differences and similarities
in the two poems and, consequently, to better understand how each one works to create its particular effects or meanings.
Your paper should be
800 – 1000 words long, typed and double-spaced, with 1” margins all around
.
Use of secondary sources (other than our own textbook) is not allowed
for this assignment. If you have questions about the poem, ask other students or the instructor.

suggested topics
:
1. Compare and contrast the ways Whitman’s “To a Locomotive in
Winter
” (p. 504) and Dickinson’s “I like to see it lap the Miles” (p. 504-05) represent their common subject: a locomotive. What claims does each poem make about the locomotive? What tone or attitude is taken towards the locomotive? How does each poem use specific poetic devices to create its tone?
2. Compare and contrast the ways Lovelace’s “To
Lucasta
” (p. 521) and Owens’ “
Dulce
et
Decorum
Est
” (p. 521-22) represent their common subject: war. What claims does each poem make about war? What tone or attitude is taken towards war? How does each poem use specific poetic devices to create its tone?
3. Compare and contrast the ways
any two
love poems in our reading represent their common subject. What claims does each poem make about love? What tone or attitude is taken towards love? How does each poem use specific poetic devices to create its tone? (Please check the two poems you pick with the instructor before proceeding.)

Assignment :Travel Journal to Points of Interest from the Early Middle Ages, Romanesque, and Gothic World
Travel Journal to Points of Interest from the Early Middle Ages, Romanesque, and Gothic World
Travel was one of the social characteristics that helped shape the Early Middle Ages and the Romanesque period—either to the Middle East to fight in the Crusades or throughout Europe as part of extensive pilgrimages.
For this assignment, put yourself in the place of a person living during this time who traveled extensively throughout Europe by selecting six pieces of art or architecture that you found personally to be the most interesting and important examples that date from this period in history. You should have 2 examples from each of the time periods specific to the Middle Ages: two examples from the Early Middle ages, two that represent the Romanesque, and two that represent Gothic art.
Your objects need to date between 400 CE and 1300 CE—the time span that encompasses the Early Middle Ages, Romanesque, and Gothic periods.
You are going to create a travel journal and itinerary for other students who will travel with you to your points of interest. Create a PowerPoint presentation of seven slides, including an introduction, your five destinations, and a conclusion. On each slide, include the image of the artwork or architecture, and the following information about the image:
Its location
Its name
The period of time it was created
Three interesting points about the artwork/building
What people viewing the image could learn about the Early Middle Ages, the Romanesque period, or Gothic art and architecture.

Web 2.0 is currently changing what it means to be an information literate person or community…. The erosion did not begin with Web 2.0 but had started considerably earlier and became evident with the first web document without an identifiable author or indication of origin. Generally, this erosion comes naturally with the advancement towards electronic environments. In the era of print culture the information context was based on textual permanence, unity and identifiable authorship, and was therefore stable. The appearance of Web 1.0 has already undermined .

Assignment NameUnit 2 Discussion BoardDeliverable Length150-.docx
Assignment Name:
Unit 2 Discussion Board
Deliverable Length:
150-500 words (not including references) 2 Peer Responses
Details:
The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.
At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.
The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.
A. Questions for weekly discussions and conversations (not part of the required Discussion Board assignment)
These questions can serve as the starting point for your discussions during the week. They are “thought starters,” so that you can explore some ideas associated with the discussion board and unit topics. Answers are not required, and should not be submitted with your required assignment. Answers are not graded.
1. What images do we use today that originated from creations by early civilizations for religious ceremonies?
2. What historical art images do we use today, from creations by early civilizations, for cultural celebrations?

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

- 1. INTS 210: Sustainable World Wingfield Fall, 2016 Sources & Destinations Essay This assignment asks you to produce a research-based essay on something you use/consume routinely in your daily life. This can be a food item, a type of fuel, or something more durable, such as an article of clothing or an electronic device. The possibilities are limitless. Your job is to account as thoroughly as possible for this item’s contribution to your overall ecological footprint. To do this, you will need to research information such as where it comes from, how and by whom it is made, the origins of its raw material inputs, packaging, and how (and how far) it travels to reach you. You will also want to account for what happens to this item when you finish with it. Your essay should relate explicitly to principles and practices of sustainability as explored in this course. Essays must consider both the item’s physical impact on the earth and the positive and/or negative impacts the item has on human communities involved in and affected by its production, transport, and/or disposal. You must choose to emphasize either the physical or the social, rather than both. You are expected to also convey an awareness of the other’s impacts (i.e., if you focus on the physical, you must convey an awareness of the social, and vice-versa). All essays
