2.2 Presenter-facilitator Groups 1 and 2
Prepare slides or materials to lead the class, with suggested
content as:
- How is the approach used (in one or two example system(s), close
to your research interests)?
- What are the basics of the approach?
- Why would you use (or not use) this approach (over another
approach)?
- When and where would you use (or not use) this approach?
- Which points about the approach are unclear, and would benefit
from deeper inquiry?
If you have questions, you can consult with the instructor!

2.4 Assignments
- Write an personal appreciation diary log as a blog post, trying
to spend no more than 45 minutes.
- Which 2 or 3 system ideas from today are resonating to change
the way you think (and which ones might remain a mystery)?
- Why are those systems ideas significant in your research, your
work and/or your life?
- Where could you see applying (or avoiding) using these systems
approaches?
- Include 2 or 3 references at the end of your blog post, and
use a proper citation style.
- Post a notification on the Google+
Systems Sciences Community, or on a Blackboard Discussion
Board thread.
- The deadline for posting is the Monday morning, 9 a.m.,
