Note: These questions are here to turn away from the details of this rotation and toward how the lessons and strategies you’ve learned might apply in a variety of real-world situations. The focus is not to add to your writing workload as much as to give you an opportunity for some thoughtful reflection so as to incorporate any thoughts these exercises may have raised for you before you move to another task.

Provide a thoughtful response (about one page) to the follwoing:

• Think about an activity, job, career, or something else you enjoy doing or may want to do in the future. Identify two to three qualities that are needed to perform that task well that realistically might be enhanced through genetic modification (e.g., faster, smarter, stronger, more physical or mental endurance). Would you want to get the genetic modification to improve your performance? What would you want to know about treatment before you went through with it? How could you utilize the skills and processes you've exercised in this rotation to find that information? How would you react if you found out that someone who was outperforming you on the task had received the genetic modification? Base your answers on facts and other information you've encountered in this rotation.

In addition to the above, the Project Manager for the GM Crops section needs to complete the task below.

Provide a thoughtful response (about one page) to the following:

• In this section of the rotation you were in charge of distributing work, ensuring people were completing their work, completing status reports, mediating disagreements within your team, making decisions, and other tasks needed to complete your work as a team.
