To complete the Synthesis Matrix for your research topic on climate change and business, follow the instructions provided:
1. Start by finding four reliable academic sources related to your research topic. Ensure that these sources are credible and provide valuable information on climate change's impact on businesses. You can use online databases, academic journals, or library resources to locate these sources.
2. Once you have obtained the four sources, begin reading and understanding each source thoroughly. Take notes as you go along, making sure to use your own words to summarize the main ideas and key points from each source.
3. Use the template provided in your instructions to structure your Synthesis Matrix. Fill in the required information for each source, including the source citation (author, date) at the top row, and the reasons for selecting each source. The reasons for selection should address the who, what, when, where, how, and why of each source, as discussed in Weeks 1 and 2 of your course.
4. After completing the source information, proceed to the main ideas/themes section of the matrix. Start with the first source and identify the main ideas or themes discussed in that source. Write these main ideas vertically in the 1st column.
5. Move on to the other sources and identify any points in common with the main ideas/themes of the first source. If you find any common points, make notes in your own words to summarize those points. Remember to avoid copying directly from the sources and instead use your own words to represent the information.
6. Continue this process for all the sources, adding any additional main ideas or themes as needed.
7. Finally, ensure that you include your student number and research topic at the top of the matrix to provide context for your submission.
By following these steps and filling in the required information, you will be able to complete your Synthesis Matrix on climate change and business.
