Instructions: (from my teacher and some suggestions they gave):
Students will identify a systems problem (perhaps from your lived experience) that you would like to remediate and produce an analytical paper on the topic. It might make sense to see the final assignment in the context of the first three assignments which asked students to annotate readings about systems which should provide you with a context for selecting a systems level problem. You are focusing on the Free Senior High School policy in Ghana and the issue about what to do about too many students and not enough school space. You could work at that level. You need to use an analytic framework to analyze the components of the system. We used CHAT in the class to examine systems. This seems like a good tool to do your analysis. And then, you might offer a set of potential solutions, organized in order of feasibility and significant change.
Since no specific structure was given in the instructions, I created a structure of my own. I have divided the paper into 6 distinct sections. These sections have been approved by my professor and so, I would like them to remain.
They are:
Introduction. Background. CHAT analysis. Unintended Consequences. Solutions. Conclusion.

Note from me 🙂
Hi! Thank you so much for taking on this job. You are really helping me right now! I’ve really been struggling to write these past few months and this assignment really needed to get done. I have a ton of ideas and thoughts for the essay so I’ve compiled them in this document.
I have written this essay using the help of a lot of AI so it has a lot of broad ideas right now that have not been fleshed out. I honestly think that this entire paper could be condensed down to 30-40% of what it is right now and it wouldn’t make a difference. However, it is lacking in a ton of research and quality analysis. That is really what I would like from you. Plus I need the whole thing to be formatted in APA style. The target length for the ess
This is a specific assignment and it needs to be written a certain way. The notes will help allow for that! I also really need this essay to be of extremely high quality. The language, style, and actual analysis all need to be extremely good. This is why I’ve tried to add as many notes and guides as possible. I really hope they help!!
To help write the paper, I have provided a document that should be very helpful in explaining what CHAT is. CHAT is essentially a framework that looks at the different components in education systems and how they interact with one another. It’s super important that you (and the reader) understand what CHAT is and how it helps us analyze a system better.
