Guide for Reflection Piece on Chapter Project in HL 322 Team Name: Out on a Limb Please structure with the

above title and give your team name and then cut and paste in questions and then answer them (underneath each question). These questions are based on the RELEVANT OUTCOMES for HL 322 Sheet (see attached). Please discuss each question and answer each as a team. Please upload it to your wix/weebly by April 15/14. 1. As a team and as we reflect on our chapter project work, how much do we feel our work helped us to meet NMU mission-central concepts of independent thinking/self-directed learning, critical thinking, livelong learning habits, awareness of diversity, and sensitivity to being productive citizens in the global community? Please explain and give examples. As a team, we individually sought to answer all the aspects directed by the instructor. This allowed independent and critical thinking, and it also allowed us to learn in a self-directed manor in which we all collaborated in the end to put our project together. For example, we split up the aspects and gathered information on our own, and together as a group we put these findings together on the website and powerpoint to provide information on the subject to the public. 2. As a team and as we reflect on our chapter project work, how much do we feel our work helped us to meet the Liberal Studies (LS) outcomes of writing/communicating clearly and effectively, of being able to evaluate various forms of evidence/knowledge, of being able to engage in analytical reasoning and argument, of being able to understand and apply quantitative analysis and scientific processes, and to see across disciplinary boundaries? Please explain and give examples. We were able find various forms of information regarding the issue, including statistics, videos, pictures, graphs, and different ways people sought to solve the problem and compiled it all together to make it our own. The website is a great overview of the problem, and a great from of communication because it can be seen by any audience interested in the problem. 3. As a team and as we reflect on our chapter project work, how much do we feel our work helped us to meet the Social Science LS outcomes of understanding the scientific process (gathering data methods for the project, analyzing the effectiveness of interventions, etc.) as it applies to the social sciences (cultural, economic, historical, environmental and political aspects)? Please explain and give examples. As a team and in our research we found all the different social sciences, brought a piece of the problem forward and found solutions to these problems. We used the scientific process while gathering our data to help show the solutions to help the amputees and bring awareness to them. Bringing this information together on the website really forced us to explain and break-down the problem into specific issues per aspect. 4. As a team and as we reflect on our chapter project work, how much do we feel our work helped us to appreciate another world culture? That is, understand another (vs. our own) distinctive world view (values, norms, and beliefs -- culture) and understand how culture is expressed in terms of health issues and understand how factors such as racial, ethnic, gender and class differences affect health issues for a people? Bringing this information forward helped us to realize how lucky we are to have a country so welldeveloped in almost all features. Comparing ourselves to a country full of disabilities makes us realize how fortunate we are to have a healthcare system that is adequate and readily available.

5. As a team and as we reflect on our chapter project work, how much do we feel our work helped us to engage the health outcomes of assessing/identifying a health need in a target population, researching for effective or evidence-based interventions, seeing how the interventions were implemented (administered and managed), and understanding how they were evaluated? Also, how much did we see the need for capacity-building interventions vs just aid-based interventions? Please explain and give examples. Our group project helped us to engage the health outcomes for amputees in the South Sudan by raising awareness. After researching the issue, we found that there truly arent that many interventions working towards targeting this problem at this time. Project Daniel is one the first to be publicized as an intervention to address this problem in the South Sudan however as more people become aware of the issue, more people are realizing the need to intervene. For capacity building interventions, project Daniel is setting up a great example on how to intervene by creating a 3D printing lab and training facility in Nuba Mountain, South Sudan rather than just distributing the prosthetics and leaving. 6. As a team and as we reflect on our chapter project work, how much do we feel that we engaged the NMU vision-central outcome of having students engage in a high tech learning environment? Please explain and give examples. Through the self-directed learning, we utilized the computers given to students and a created a website. Most of our group members have never had to partake in building of a website and it was a great learning experience to learn how to take our knowledge and research and publish it for the world to see. 7. As a team and as we reflect on our chapter project work, how much do we feel that we engaged creative and innovative practices. Please explain and give examples. As a group we will fully engaged in the opportunity to take general requirements and create our unique learning experience and incorporated our own personalities and originality into our chosen topic. For example, we were given the opportunity to pick a topic of our choice. This allowed us to research something we were interested in and allowed us to expand our knowledge into something we didnt know a lot about.
