1. Final presentation Fall 2011 Alfredo Davila

2.  The objective of this course is to learn how to create a specific solution to a real problem. For this we should follow the suggestions defined on the Dick and Carey model and carry through the project in the real world. In my case: I developed a Family Hurricane Guide.

3.  I did an analysis of potential problems that could be solved with a proper course of action in order to contribute to generate one option within the existing ones.  I defined the goals and objectives to be achieved in this course.  I reviewed the potential project structures that best fit my lesson as I was creating my project.  Finally as a family we practiced what was learned.

4.  My original plan changed from the dates I had planned to go forward as to the definition of goals and objectives. Also in the final drill, I contemplated a hurricane hitting a residential area of the United States rather than Mexico, where the type of housing construction is very different.

5.  Lesson 1: Hurricane history, definitions and tracking maps.  I prepared 3 lessons for my Family hurricane plan: for example in lesson 1, defined 3 objectives to achieve. My idea was, that before explaining to students what to do when a hurricane approaches, it’s necessary to understand the importance of being prepared. First objective: Review about the history of the most dangerous hurricanes. Second: Review terms and definitions used by meteorologist to define the hurricanes, storms, etc. And third: The importance of how to use the tracking maps. Once we learned lesson 1, we are prepared to continue.

6.  There is a method of order to organize and plan a course for the solution of a problem (Dick and Carey Model is an example).  Throughout the project we should not lose sight of each goal and objective defined in the proposal.  To proof if the course is effective we need to initiate a drill.
