Significant Factors 15 / 20
Criterion Feedback
A good start to considering some of the biases, beliefs, assumptions, and/or values that can impact your topic.
As we discussed early on in the course, bias is something that all human beings have and must work through when
conducting research and otherwise. There are so many different forms of bias that one must least be aware of when engaging
with materials. Desjardins (2021) provides a beautiful infographic showing the breadth of cognitive biases we must consider.
To reach proficiency, include references in this section. You list three sources at the end but they are not cited throughout the
paper. Including this will strengthen the paper overall and illustrate where your materials come from in the research.

Potential Obstacle 15 / 20
Criterion Feedback
A good start to considering obstacles to your population's engagement with the topic.
Again, involving the community that you will be exploring in resolving issues that impact that population is essential to
learning, creating, and leveraging the perspectives of that group in solving the problems. On that same token, there are
sometimes challenges to engaging those groups in the conversation, like establishing trust, access to resources/technology,
and more.

Societal Conversation 22.5 / 30
Criterion Feedback
A good start to considering the potential outcomes of the proposed engagement with your population and how that might
influence larger social conversations around your topic and diversity at large.
Likewise here, to reach proficiency, you must also provide supportive evidence for your rationale. Suppose you say that one
outcome of the engagement will provide insight that this group wants x or y action. In that case, you must include a citation
or source that shows that x or y is what they use/want to address the challenges you've described.
