The Need for Conceptual Anchors

Be it emergency or conservation, every group holds an action plan developed from a proposal. This, in turn is shaped by lessons learnt and applied from a comparative approach to 2 topical areas. How do you ensure that your written report will stand out from others during strict assessment procedures?
Apart from innovative proposals and actions plans gleaned and adapted from strong case studies, groups will attempt to distinguish themselves from one another by the intelligent application and manipulation of sound concepts in their elaboration. Wide reading and thoughtful application of case studies in a project work proposal imparts needed depth to the way a group addressses a topic. Originality and creativity is first derived from a supreme command of knowledge in chosen area of interest. On the issue of emergency (have received feedback that we spend too much time elaborating on conservation due to sheer amount of interest by many groups), here are some good links to tap on. Note the use of diagrams to illustrate clear strategies underpinned by concepts related to types of crisis related to medical and other socio-economic emergencies. With a pdf added to your bootlean search techniques, you be surprised by the amount of good resources you can find.

Enjoy building up your resources and insights....apart from a meticulous scan in the daily papers for SI materials to enhance up your case studies. I expect every group to develop strong conceptual diagrams to illustrate your strategies. It works...
