Friendly tips: Take notes. If possible, and allowable, it may be helpful to record your interview, so that you have it in its entirety when writing your responses (note: this is not required, though).

Answer: First, you can always reach out to the Instructor and ask them if a particular person you have in mind can ‘count’ for this interview. Second, this is a great opportunity for students to learn more about different types of public health organizations and to start building their professional network. One way to start this process is by asking family members, current colleagues, and even professors if they know any public health professionals. When you start this process, really think about the types of places and jobs you could see yourself in as a public health professional. Do you want to work in a government agency?How about a non-profit? Do you want to sit behind a desk or do you want to be in the field? Are there certain health issues you are passionate about? These are all important questions to ask yourself and then try to find a person who is doing the kind of work you could see yourself doing. A second way to go about finding someone is using LinkedIn. Many professionals on LinkedIn are more than willing to

How does the author approach the study – from a theoretical,experimental,interpretive standpoint?Did they choose the best approach?

Critical Review

For this assessment you will be given an academic journal paper to critically review.

The paper is:

Sustainable development: Our Common Future revisited

Holden E., Linnerud K., Banister D.

(2014) Global Environmental Change, 26(1), pp. 130-139.

This task is an opportunity for you to demonstrate critical thinking,and to make connections between the literature you are reading. Here are a list of questions you can consider in your review:

What is the problem being addressed in this paper?

What are the strengths and limitations of the study?

How does the author approach the study – from a theoretical,experimental,interpretive standpoint?Did they choose the best approach?

How does the author engage with other literature in the field?Is there literature that both contradicts and supports his/her findings mentioned?

Did the researchers choose appropriate methods of experimentation and data analysis for the research question?

Do you think that the conclusions they draw based upon the data they present are valid and reasonable? Or are there gaps in the logic or assumptions being made?

These questions are meant as a guide and your critical review should not simply be a list of answers to these questions, nor should it simply describe the paper. Throughout your critical review you should provide provide reasoned judgements about how convincing the paper’s statements, claims, arguments and findings are. To do so, you will also need to refer to other literature you have been reading for weeks 1 and 2. For example, what does this paper contribute to how we might understand SD (linking here to debates around Brundtland or Planetary Boundaries)? How does it develop approaches to SD as set out by Hopwood et al., (2005) (Hopwood, B., Mellor, M., & O’Brien, G. (2005).

Sustainable development: mapping different approaches. Sustainable Development,

Advice on how you might use resources when undertaking a review is available here:

Evaluate indirect forest sequestration,and other direct CO2 sequestration techniques.

RENEWABLE ENERGY Argument

1. Your state’s sole nuclear power plant is shutting down, and you are attending a hearing on sources of replacement power. Options on the table include building a coal-fired plant or a combined cycle gas plant. Make your choice and formulate an argument to defend it. (use the book chapters on coal and Nuclear energy as needed)

2. Your friend dismisses either a Carbon tax or Cap-and-trade scheme as just another example of government taking the people’s hard-earned money. How do respond?

3. Read the “Energy Extra” (pages 97-98) and share your views on fracking.Fracking a single natural gas well utilizes 20 million liters of water.

In a typical single-family residence, how long this water will last?

4. Evaluate indirect forest sequestration,and other direct CO2 sequestration techniques mentioned in the textbook (pages 142-145) in terms of cost etc.
