Tips for Choosing Areas of Interest in CQ Project
In the past, I have gotten some projects where the areas of interest start out much too
narrow or difficult to operationalize: e.g., “groupthink,” “confirmation bias,” or “being
more culturally aware.” These things could be part of your overall plan, but they will
come into the project in later sections (or possibly as part of your future endeavors).
As you determine your three areas of interest, think in terms of the following contexts:
Countries you’d like to visit
Languages you’d like to learn
Groups with whom you feel uncomfortable or about whom you hold prejudices
Occupational choice and the need for CQ in your field
Almost everyone gave me places that they would like to travel, languages that they
would like to learn, and how CQ might play a role in their occupation of choice as part of
the sign in assignment. Consider these as your areas of interest. Issues such as
“groupthink” and other specific biases might come into play in these general categories,
but by generalizing within a specific context will give you more options in later sections.
In later sections, you will need to provide searching questions “digging into layers” of
information related to each area of interest, and these types of categories give plenty of
depth. You will also be asked to complete activities in three categories: self-awareness,
other-awareness, and research-based. Again, these areas of interest can be easily
divided into these types of activities and knowledge. You won’t be asked to complete all
three activities for all three areas of interest, but all should be possible: i.e., a selfawareness project for all three areas of interest, an other-awareness for all three, and a
research-based for all three.
If you were very inspired by our discussions of biases and the fact that you might hold
more than you had thought and you want to delve into this type of exploration, you can
do this but it still needs a broader context. Three specific biases that are not linked to
any context would be very difficult to pursue in the project; however, noting that all three
seem linked to your occupational choice or a particular group of people would be a way
of delving into these through the broader context.
I will provide feedback after your Part A sections, and if any areas of interest would be
problematic I will let you know. It is my hope that providing these tips before you write
the section will alleviate me having to ask several of you to broaden your areas later.
Keep in mind that the project is progressive, so even though the point value of Part A is
low, you cannot complete the next sections without it and the overall value of the project
is significant.
Looking forward to reading your Part As!

The expectation is that the paper for a 4000-level course will be well-written, detailed, well-supported,
and provide a level of analysis that goes beyond basic description. Please write for the uninformed
reader (i.e., for someone who has not read the text, has not taken the course, and has not heard the
assignment guidelines). You should be able to simply hand the paper to someone who is not in the class,
have them read it, and be fully able to understand your project without additional explanation. Five
points will be deducted from late papers, and no credit will be given at all if the paper is not in before
the deadline for Part B.
