Filling Out the Problem Map
Brainstorm some more: download the problem map from our class in moodle.
You may change the appearance of the template as much as you like, but the assignment is to get text typed in each box, save, and post it in the Moodle forum at the end of class today.
Homework:
1. Work on the Problem Map at home, and post an improved version to the same forum (reply to today's post) before class on Monday.
2. Draft #1 is due Tuesday. This draft needs to define the problem and begin discussing causes and effects.
3. TWFTD: credible in OED.

More About Problems
The assignment.
The assignment sheet. This is not a full-blown research paper, but you do need to do some online reading to find out more about the problem you choose to write about. KEEP TRACK OF ANY SITES YOU VISIT on your topic. You will cite your sources if you use information from another source. Make sure your browser history will help you with this?
Thinkwrite: using the theme "Don't get me started," go ahead. Feel free to rant on a problem that is presently bugging you. But what about something that you know little about and have mostly questions? Ask away....
Now back to intellectual property, and associated problems. What's a patent?
Have you heard of patent trolls? https://www.ted.com/talks/drew_curtis_how_i_beat_a_patent_troll
What kinds of things are NOT protected? https://www.ted.com/talks/johanna_blakley_lessons_from_fashion_s_free_culture
Have you heard of creative commons? Wikipedia's explanation.
And in the automotive industry, terms and conditions? For suppliers? "4) grant GM licenses for all background intellectual rights relating to the goods and services in question, including those
developed prior to the contract; ....." ("Top Legal Issues Facing Suppliers in 2014")
Homework:
1. Create some sort of brainstorming page about possible "problems" you might be interested in writing a paper about. Be prepared to discuss this tomorrow.
