1 Keep going with your fact file. 2 or 3 facts for each chapter. Something you can remember. So keep them short and snappy. Closed book test at end of course to regurgitate 12 juicy facts that you can impress people with!.
2.Set out 5 national government policies that will enhance the development of creative intelligence of the people. a. Explain what the policy might be in terms of legislation / funding etc. Then explain how the mechanics would work to get the desired results of raising CI. b. Also set out in the same way 5 policies that are designed to inhibit the development of creative intelligence in the people. You can pick existing policies or make up your own.

3.a. Read Plan B, chapter 4 and also read the whole of 'The Solar Revolution' by Travis Bradfield. b.Write a paper with the following topic: "Sometime between 2050 and 2100 solar energy will be the dominant power source for all human uses." Also draw on your other research. Use all the arguments you can - economic, philosophical, environmental, etc. to justify this statement as much as you can. 800 to 1000 words.
--Or if you prefer, create a substantial slide presentation on the same topic
4. Read chapters 3 and chapters 5 to 10 of Plan B one by one. Before and after each chapter read my main points in the syllabus and any resources.
After you have read chapter, chose a topic related directly to the chapter. Look deeper into it and then share it with the study supervisor in a final presentation session. The purpose of this exercise is to enable you to follow your passion and also to gain research, analytic and presentation skills / experience. So for each chapter the topic can be taken from the suggested menu below or by anything else relevant to the chapter.
Whatever topic is chosen, when presenting it you must
Not dwell on the problems. One slide on the problem(s) will be enough. The rest of each presentation must relate to a solution towards creating global sustainability.
Include an assessment of the potential efficacy of the proposed solution.
Tie it into some content of Plan B.
Include some specific policy proposals.
Relate the Vedic perspective as developed in the course to your topic including unified field chart if you wish.
Be ready to present your topics with a slide show from Wednesday March 21st 10 am.
Presentations should be 10 to 12 minutes long and no longer than 12 minutes.
