Session 6Implement and evaluate the solution
Step #5: Implement the solution
• Implementing the solution may require both patience and persistence
• Most problems are not solved quickly or on the first attempt
• If a plan or solution does not work immediately, do not get discouraged
• Try a different strategy or solution until you find one that works
Build Your Skills
• Working as a group to construct things, responding to difficult situations and explaining how you have dealt with problems in the past will help you build your ability to implement solutions.

• What changes could you make to make the solution work better?
Using Bloom's Taxonomy
Remembering

Analysis
• Do I see any patterns or relationships?
Evaluation
• How well did I do? What worked? What needs to be improved?
Creation
• What should I do next?
Build Your Skills

Practice Your Skills
John was told by his boss four weeks ago that he would have to do a big presentation at work. The presentation needed to be prepared in addition to a number of regular daily tasks. He focused on his daily tasks and did a good job completing them but the presentation kept "slipping" his mind. On the night before the due date of the presentation, he realized that he had at least 8-10 hours' worth of work left to do on the presentation. This wasn't the first time he had procrastinated on a major work assignment and left it until the last minute. Last year he received a note on his personal file for a similar situation.
• What steps can John take to implement and evaluate the solution?
