1. Consider your work and the types of tasks you are expected to complete. Are some tasks more complex than others (do they require stages you need to go through in order to complete them)? List three examples of complex tasks that you encounter at work:
2. Consider one of these complex tasks. What stages do you go through when completing this task? How do you feel at the beginning, middle and end of this task? Uneasy? Excited? Frustrated?
3. How do you know when you are done with a task? How do you know when you have enough information to complete your task and present your findings to others?
4. Think about how you use information at work. Where do you find your information? What sources do you use? Library? Databases? People?
5. Sometimes we have difficulty finding information we need to complete tasks. Think of a time this has happened to you at work. What information were you looking for? What did you do to resolve the difficulty? What could have made finding the information easier?
