The document is a student requesting a grade of 6 for a synthesis paper on social entrepreneurship. The student argues they deserve a high grade because they provided in-depth information on social entrepreneurship and examples in their paper. They created 3 designs, evaluated the pros and cons of each, and provided a reasoned choice for their final design. The student followed the design cycle process, including daily reflections and focusing their project on a social entrepreneur who makes accessories from plastic waste. Feedback suggested improving the video portion by making it more interesting.

Synthesis Paper
I really think that deserve a 6 because in my investigation I provided an essay like
information, which included everything about Social Entrepreneurship and gave in-depth
informational sheet about everything from Social Entrepreneurship to examples of what they do.
Also in all my stages I gave information of why I did that and how it’s related to Social
Entrepreneurship. My video is probably not that good, but I have to say that the other stages in
the design cycle I did pretty well, so I think that should make up my grade to 6, especially the
attitudes in technology.
Most definitely I chose many sources to help me with the topic and I created 3 designs as
well as I evaluated each of these designs and listed the pros and cons for each plus gave an
appropriate reason for choosing the final design. For my plan stage I even wrote down a script
for each person and gave in a timeline by which I would follow and finish my product by.
In this project, I used the Design Cycle well. I followed all the suggestion that Design
Cycle gave me by doing my daily reflections on the process journal showing what I did
everyday. Area of Interaction in this project was Health and Social. It was significantly evident
during my work that I focused on the lady whom uses plastic wastes to make accessories. I need
to improve on my video because through the survey most people suggested that I needed to more
interesting parts in the video. Also in my group no one responded to the group discussions, hence
the product; my video.
