Interdisciplinary Theory and Concepts is a class that examines interdisciplinary theory, the differences and similarities between academic disciplines, and approaches to topics in an interdisciplinary way. The assignment that stood out to me the most was a paper I wrote about wind energy and how effective it is. I started my paper off explaining what kind of energy it is and what it can provide for the world aside from fossil fuels and what it does to help the farmers and the people. I then used money as a way to explain how it can be easier for the world and how cost-effective it can be. I then used literature from the internet to back up my claim of wind energy being better than fossil fuels. I then looked at my literature to give reasons that could make wind energy difficult for the people to be able to use properly. After looking through the hardships that could occur with wind energy, I then typed about a time that a university had put the wind energy process to the test and gave my conclusion about how good wind energy can be.
A value that I learned from this paper is learning, because when I first thought about wind energy I only looked into it being cool looking for the design factor and how much better it is for the environment. When looking into this, I began to find out a lot of other aspects regarding wind energy while looking through the hardships of having wind energy as well as the ways that it can also help the environment. When I’m in the real world, I can use my learning values to go deeper into searches when having to research something that could benefit or harm myself or the economy to give myself a better understanding of it. A skill I learned from this is problem-solving abilities because when searching through literatures and how they go about situations, I learned that I could use some of the knowledge for real life situations that could deal with potential fossil fuels or a kind of situation that could deal with protecting the cyber environment and what could be done ensure safety. I could use this problem solving skill to look into ways that I can get myself out of situations in the future if any happen to occur in the cybersecurity world such as if there’s a breach in the system that I would have to use my skills to figure out how to get out of the situation with the least amount of casualties.
When It comes to artifacts, I could use a few things relating to the class or the assignment. I could use some works that I had done within the class as well as some photos or powerpoints I was given to help with my work. Related to the project, I can provide images of windmills to show what I was writing about. I plan to include the pictures of the windmills to show what I was writing my paper about and I will provide the work that I’ve done in the class to build up what kind of work I had done in the class. I also am choosing to post an image or two from the course to give a better understanding of certain aspects of the class such as images regarding the steps within the interdisciplinary process. The images are worth including because they give a bit of information about how the process goes when looking into problem solving and how each can be completed. The work that I’m posting is worth including because a lot of the work I did in the class is related to the final paper because the work I had done prior was setting up specifics for the paper and why I provided said information. I’m able to embed the images within the page and I’m able to embed the works by converting the works into pdfs and posting them.
