Upon completion of this level, students will be able to:

• Thoroughly (systematically and methodically) analyze their own and others' assumptions and carefully evaluate the relevance of contexts when presenting a position or potential solution.
• Evaluate and apply diverse perspectives to complex problems within natural or human systems in the face of multiple and even conflicting positions (i.e. cultural, disciplinary, and ethical).
• Recognize ethical issues when presented in a complex, multilayered (gray) context and recognize cross-relationships among the issues when tackling a messy problem.
• Explore a problem in depth, yielding a rich awareness that can be applied to a potential solution.
• Identify multiple approaches for solving a problem that apply within a specific context.
