Details:This CIT Interview Techniques assignment includes two parts: a critical incident interview (due in Topic 7), and a summary report (due in Topic 8). The first part are steps 1-3 in the CIT process, and the second part represents steps 4-5 in the CIT process.To frame the context for this assignment, consider the following statement as the basis of the project: "There is evidence that researchers using CIT are now asking participants to reflect upon and write down the meaning of critical incidents, not just discuss them in a research interview" (From the Canadian Journal of Counseling by Butterfield, et al., 2005, p. 489).Interview:Using methodology described in the readings, prepare a list of open-ended questions regarding an individual's direct personal experience with leaders. A minimum of 15 questions is required.Identify a subgroup of people in your immediate circle of contact with whom you have the ability to conduct a critical incident (CI) interview regarding their experience with leaders in their own lives.Conduct a minimum of three interviews. If you are unable to meet with your interviewee in person you may choose to Skype, Google Hangout, or call your interviewee. However, you may not just send them the questions and ask them to fill them out, as this takes you out of the process and one of the points of this assignment is for you to gain experience in talking with people, and learning how to interview people.As the interviewer, pose the questions to the three respondent(s). Questions include but are not limited to specific leadership moments, negative and/or positive experiences, leader decisions and consequences, or any direction drawn from course readings to this point.Submit a brief 150-250 word summary of your findings, including who you interviewed and why. Remember you will give a more detailed, supported summary of your findings for the next assignment. The submission should include the raw question and answer data in the form of at least three appendices (one for each interview, and in question and answer format), as one would provide in qualitative research.*Note*- Please remember interviewees should be reminded they have the right not to answer questions; further, there is an element of confidentiality that should be maintained. In your writing, you may want to ensure your interviewees you will not identify them by name or place of business. While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, along with solid academic writing. Remember documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.This assignment uses a scoring guide. Please review the scoring guide prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Poverty, environmental degradation, infringement of human rights, conflicts, and terrorism—although we have entered the 21st century, we are facing diverse issues both on global and regional levels. There are a multitude of opportunities for those trained in geography to help solve some of these pressing issues.The topics of climate change, energy (including nuclear energy), Africa, food security, and intellectual property are just some of the important subjects that are discussed at the G8 summit held every summer in different parts of the world. The G8 Summit is an opportunity for leaders in eight different countries—Italy, Canada, France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, and Japan—to discuss a variety of issues that have incredible global impact. In the final section of each unit, you will continue the theme of a day in the life of a geographer to address one of these important issues in relation to the area of the world being studied.Geographers use the population statistics, in addition to other relevant information, to make decisions and attempt to solve problems within their own community. In this unit, you learned about the career possibilities for someone with an education in geography. This assignment will require you achieve two objectives:Examine a possible career in one of the geographic fields.Step into the shoes of someone in that career, and solve a problem similar to what one would encounter in that position.Part A:The Association of American Geographers has generated a list of possible careers in the various geographic fields.(Although there are numerous careers listed on their website remember that this is only a sampling!) Visit the Association of American Geographers website  and select the career that interests you most.Write a brief summary, approximately 3 to 5 paragraphs describing the job responsibilities of someone in this career, the required education, and potential earnings in your region. Also, explain why you feel this geographic field most suits you. What skills do you possess that make this career a match for you?Bureau of Labor Statistic Occupational Outlook Handbook  provided by the U.S. Department of Labor can provide you with further information.Part B:Pretend that you have completed the educational requirements for the selected career from Part A, and have obtained a position. In approximately 4 to 5 paragraphs, respond to the following prompt:Currently, there are more than 305,000,000 people in the United States, and the nation’s population continues to increase with one birth every seven seconds. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, just a decade ago there were more than 280,000,000 living in the United States! For this reason, cities continue to expand; new communities are popping up all over.Imagine that a new community is being developed on the outskirts of your neighborhood. As a professional working in your chosen geographic field, what are your responsibilities? What problems will you face? Consider what happens as plans are developed for the new community, as construction begins, and as people relocate to the new area. What issues will you face as the geographer and how can you resolve them? Think about transportation issues, building codes, tourism, shopping, employment, and other needs and desires of citizens in your community.Submit your completed assignment to the Final Project – Part I: A Day in the Life of a Geographer link for grading. Your assignment will be graded according to the 6 + 1 Rubric found in the Orientation section of the course.
