23 Feb Clearly summarize your method by identifying the steps you would use to approach your specific sub-problem, including where you would apply specific LOs. Include your systematic method as a
humanities project and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
The overarching goal of this assignment is to identify and apply a systematic method for problem-solving guided by your sophisticated use of the LOs. Choose one of the following topics:
Water scarcity in the UAE

Overfishing UAE
https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/environment/overfishing-is-single-biggest-threat-to-marine-life-in-arabian-gulf-study-finds-1.856746

Note:
(1) Make sure to select a tractable sub-topic within these broad topic areas. This will allow for a more effective application of LOs, and a sub-topic is rarely too specific or narrow.
(2) The resources linked above are intended to serve as a starting point for your research. You must identify additional readings and sources.
Part I: The Method.
Clearly summarize your method by identifying the steps you would use to approach your specific sub-problem, including where you would apply specific LOs. Include your systematic method as a flowchart, outline, or list of bulleted points (this should not be a narrative, and should not include any additional content not included in the narrative section below). (Note: Refer to Activity 1 in Session 10 for an example of how to outline your strategy/process).
Part II: Application.
Apply your systematic method by characterizing and proposing solutions for one of the topics listed. Research and learn about the problem and then apply the Problem Solving LOs to propose solutions. This narrative portion of your assignment should include three sections (900-1100 words):
Problem Analysis
Solution Analysis
Ideation and Execution
#rightproblem: Characterizing the nature of the problem i.e. explaining the problem in more detail so you have an accurate picture of the issue. Accurately applying this LO, involves 4 step.
1.Initial State: Describing the problem as it is right now, when we dont have a solution for it.
2 Goal State: What things will look like after the problem has been solved.3.
Obstacles: Problems we have solve in order to reach our goal state4.
Scale: Who is directly affected by this problemThese steps help us with the problem analysis i.e. fleshing out the problem in detail so we know exactly what we are dealing with
#problemsolving: This LO helps us move towards a solution. The elements of this process are
:1. Organising problems into tractable components: This refers to breaking down a problem into more manageable subproblems. Often a problem itself is too big to tackle all at once. Breaking it into subproblems gives us more control and allows us to move towards a solution more systematically. We should always try to break down a problem as far as we can (e.g. third order subproblem, fourth order subproblem etc.)
2. Identifying constraints: Constraints are problems we cannot change. We cannot solve these problems therefore we must learn to work with them in order to solve them.? Constraint satisfaction is finding a solution that works within the limits of your constraint
3. Conducting a gap analysis: It is important to conduct a gap analysis in order to help us bridge the gap between the initial state and the goal state. The gap analysis involves looking for solutions to solve the problem and reduce this gap. When we hunt for solutions one of these three things might happen:? You find that your problem already has an effective solution so you use it as is? You find that your problem sort of has a solution, but you need to modify it to fit? You find that your problem has no solution, so you have to come up with one on your own
4. Analogies: Analogies are a great way to come up with ideas for how to solve your problem. When using an analogy you try to identify a similar problem to yours that has been solved in the past, and see if the solution that was used for that problem, applies to your problem as well.
