Lesson 7 Preparation for Application

Overview. Open-Ended Problem Solving

a. Story about Jim.

b. Model of quality

c. What does quality in open-ended problem solving look like? What does a great result look like?
example 1. the knowledge that is used to solve the problem is valid (correct)
example 2. units are carried and canceled (grid method)
example 3. the problem is gone!

d. How do you produce quality in open-ended problem solving? What are the drivers of quality?
example 1. you document your work in real-time (no backfilling); 5% extra time
example 2. you define a SMART goal near the start of the problem

Team Formation

  • Choice. You can work individually or in a team of four (your call). My advice is TEAM!
  • Team Composition. No more than two people with the same major. Recommend 3 majors. Recommend people you don't know. 3 minutes—go!
  • High Performance Team. Three things to know: (a) purpose, (b) goals, (c) values (expected behaviors).
