Context:
The first
half of this subject focuses on the individual and
the
specific processes
—
cognitive
or otherwise
—
that individuals engage in when faced with a decision to make. Your task in
this first assessment is to reflect on those processes
in the context of your own experience
and in accounts found in wider reading,
and
to identify and critique the specific models and
frameworks available to you as a decision
–
maker.
Instructions:
Construct a reflective analytical report, founded on solid research
of decision
–
making
methods, models, frameworks and taxonomies found both in the subject and in wider
scholarly reading you undertake.
The report is to be limited to 3000 words, exclusive of formal document sections (i.e. title
page, executive summary,
table of contents, references list, appendices, etc.),
citations,
tables and graphs. Students should submit one file through Turnitin.
There are a number of forms the report could take. The exact form the report will
depend
on the additional research
the student will undertake; students should aim for the
demonstration of deep learning, founded on
theory through
thorough reading of scholarly
literature, rather than on getting any aspect of the brief ‘right.’
Students should commence this assignment e
arly, keep regular backups and ensure they
submit the correct, final version. Students should use this brief as the instruction set for the
