2. Recap
• The module is not (really) about student food poverty
• Except insofar as it’s relevant to you, your own circumstances
• It’s about seeing, and tackling ‘supercomplex’ problems
• Wicked issues, systems thinking, problem solving
• Social & environmental problems, Changemaker skills
• It’s also been about ‘hidden rules’ of university life
• Learning outcomes, marking rubrics, module specifications
• Group work, workload, life/work balance, project planning & management
• What employers REALLY want: spotting there is a problem, stepping up to
tackle it, grit and determination, and co-ordinating a team to come up
with a solution

different
aspects
• Not really a
sense of what is
more important
• Connectors

direction or
importance of
connection

7. It’s complex
By now you should be
demonstrating:
• The complexity of the problem
situation
• Some sense of the key root
causes
• How these causes interact with
each other
• Through a series of annotated
systems diagrams

Not much
detail but
clear
separation
between
symptoms
and causes
