Unit 4: Direct Experience and Testing Your Own Assumptions

For our final Sustainability Worldview assignment, you need to pull everything together.  This project has afforded you the opportunity to really test yourself - whether that's your assumptions, preconceptions, biases, or beliefs (Nolet, 2016). 

  • Re-read your first Sustainability Worldview submission, think (and then write) about how your thinking (assumptions, preconceptions, biases, or beliefs) has changed based on this experience.
  • Reimagine and rewrite (if applicable) your Sustainability Worldview based on this experience.  Connect your thinking back to the first week's reading assignments. Some students will find their worldview has evolved dramatically, others may find their project merely refined what they were already thinking.  

Submission guidelines:

  • supported in literature mentioned above and additional relevant sources if applicable
  • well-written and thoroughly proofread for grammatical errors
  • approximately 1200 - 1500 words (twice as long as the others; worth twice as much)
