Possible Exam Questions 2022 I will select 5 of these for the final exam. The exam is closed notes, closed books, closed computer. Please bring a pencil or a pen. If the message can be conveyed in bullet points, diagrams, tables, or figures, you can do that (i.e. no need to write paragraphs unless you do that best). Grammar and spelling will not be graded. Critical thinking will be. Overall, I just want you to show me that you learned the big concepts in class. 1. Choose one concept from the EdX Course (Human Rights, Human Wrongs). Describe that concept. Compare and contrast that concept with another concept from our class. 2. Briefly describe the Capitals that we discussed in class (Bourdieu’s and Flora, Flora and Fey’s). Then describe one way they could be used to measure social change. 3. Please describe Diffusion of Innovations Theory and then describe the benefits and critiques of this adoption model. 4. What are the positive and negative aspects of the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI)? Under what conditions is this index the best option for measuring empowerment? Under what conditions is using the index less desirable? Why? 5. Describe the Community Concept Drawing for empowerment. What is the activity? What are the benefits to measuring empowerment in this way? What are the disadvantages? 6. What could be both the benefit and harmful consequence of designing an agricultural technology specifically developed to benefit the marginalized group you learned most about in class? 7. You are the Team Leader of a large development project and a team of 50 staff. Which two concepts and/or tools from IAD 103 would you teach to your team to increase equity? Describe the usefulness of these concepts and tools within a project context. Why did you choose these for your team? 8. You are the Project Leader of a technical team with a promising technology, a small, motorized tilling machine. There is room in your project budget to conduct a social impact assessment, but the engineers and plant scientists need convincing that this assessment is necessary – present your argument for the value of conducting a social impact assessment on this technology in a small farming community of your choice. 9. Which tools or frameworks you learned in IAD103 do you think apply for improving empowerment for a marginalized group from your own home community (i.e. where you grew up or live now)? Please briefly describe your home community and the marginalized group and then describe why the tool/framework is empowering. Finally, briefly discuss the challenges and opportunities to implementing this tool within your home community. 10. Which tools or frameworks you learned in IAD103 do you think apply for addressing or understanding racial oppression and violence here in the United States, and why? 11. If you were hired to work with marginalized peoples, what cultural concepts from your own culture would you self-reflect on and maybe confront in order to be a more effective advocate? 12. Define the terms Refugee, Migrant, Immigrant, and Internally Displaced Persons. Highlight within each marginalized group one agriculture related challenge or quality that you believe is unique to that group. 13. What could be both the benefit and harmful consequence of designing a technology specifically developed to benefit women? 14. What causes marginalization? You can use any perspective that we discussed in class on 4/26 for your answer.
15. Describe the gender dimensions framework of technology assessments. By measuring an innovation with these dimensions, what do you learn about the innovation?
