Remember that the key to elevating the level of knowledge is being able to transfer it across contexts.
That’s precisely what methodologies allow us to do. Your challenge is now to take the Problem Solving
Methodology, which you’ve seen applied in at least three contexts (in the Reading) and applied yourself in
another (in class), and apply it in your own life. The things you learn in class or from books aren’t simply
a part of your education; they can become a part of you, augmenting the skills you use in your own life
and positively impacting the life you choose to lead.

We all have long-standing problems that we have trouble dealing with. We tend to ignore them, put
them off, and pretend that maybe they’ll just go away. This is your opportunity to be proactive! Apply
the Problem Solving Methodology to solve a long-standing problem. Use a blank
Problem Solving
Methodology worksheet
to document your work.

Now assess your use of the Problem Solving Methodology to solve your long-standing problem by using
an
Assessing Problem Solving worksheet
. Not only is it possible to solve the problems that tend to pile
up because we don’t know what to do with them, we can even steadily improve in our ability to solve the
problems we face. Assessment is the key to that kind of improvement.

You have already learned to use two methodologies: Learning Process Methodology and the Problem
Solving Methodology. There will be more methodologies introduced in this course as well as your other
courses. What have you learned about “learning to use/apply methodologies” that can be used to speed up
your ability to apply new methodologies to situations?

Your challenge is to create a methodology for
Learning to Use a New Methodology
. You are welcome to
either peek ahead at the teamwork methodology or to create the methodology based on your experience with
methodologies thus far in the course. Be ready to test your methodology when you get to that experience!
