The idea behind this term paper is to give you the opportunity to be creativeby formulating, suggesting, or generating a solution to a problem that is in need of a creative solution. According to the aforementioned criterion, for your proposed solution to have merit it must be (a) novel, (b) useful within its context. Importantly, however, you must apply the knowledge that you have gained in this course to analyze the nature of the problem under consideration.For example, you could decide to focus on the problem of school underachievement. In your paper you would first have to define what is meant by school underachievement (e.g., obtaining a grade that is lower than the average for that cohort, etc.). Next, you would analyze various factors that have been shown to be relevant to school underachievement (e.g., nutrition, intelligence, SES, motivation, etc.). Next, you would then conduct a literature review of various approaches that have been used in the past to address the problem of school underachievement, in the process assessing their varying levels of success. You would end by proposing your creative solution. Some creative solutions are de novomeaning that they are entirely new approaches to a problem. In contrast, other creative solutions might be hybrids or novel combinations of ideas that have existed individually before. Both varieties of solutions will be acceptable for this assignment. In addition, creative ideas also have the quality of elegance defined as a combination of beauty, simplicity, efficiency, and ease of use or implementation.To maximize your enjoyment of working on this assignment, it is important to choose a topic that you feel passionate about. This will motivate you to think about it, and increase the likelihood of coming up with a creative solution in relation to it.Please note the following:You must make use of the available peer-reviewed literature in supporting your claims.You must have your choice of problem approved in advance by one of the TeachingAssistants or me via email no later than Oct. 12th 2016.You must use some accepted method of referencing/citing sources.The total word limit must be within the 2,0003,000 range (excluding references).You must include a minimum of 5 references to the literature.A hard copy of the term paper must be handed in on the assigned date.
