Are you ready for conflict analysis and management practice?

To mark the beginning of your learning journey in the MACAM program, you will compile a short clip using Mozilla Popcorn Maker. (2016 Note:  this tool is being phased out, however there are other tools that can be used to similar effect)

In addition to introducing yourself to your fellow students and instructor, the objective of the clip is to demonstrate your understanding of conflict analysis and management practice and your readiness for engaging in the MACAM program.

This assignment will be graded like any other assignment for the course or program, following the grading matrix provided. The 3-5 minute clip should be brief, concise, and analytical, demonstrating your reflection on the program, readings, and core themes outlined below. Please include references to readings/concepts throughout all sections as applicable.

When you start your Popcorn Maker project, make sure to create your own persona, so you can save and share the project with others.
