MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • Ungraded
Do you have a notebook ready to take paper notes in table format for these legislation/policies? (See Canvas instructions for more details).
Yes, because this will be my primary study method
No; I will take notes in a digital table instead, but I plan to use a second study method such as flashcards, connections etc. to reinforce this knowledge

You can still use the brainstorm method before beginning this video.
That will help a lot with prioritizing the policies you NEED to study.
Start by listing the regulations or rules you would expect a rational, developed country to institute in order to prevent tragedies of the commons*.
You don't need DETAILS about the regulations, but if you have them already due to prior learning, you're welcome to expand. Your main goal though is to list out everything you think should be regulated.
(Hint: Think about the major pollution incidents we've talked about so far. What would you regulate to prevent those?)
My proposed rules are written by hand in my notebook without referencing AI or any other resource
Typed out, with my own thoughts and not AI or any other resource
Answer explanation
At a minimum, you should have talked about protecting water. Maybe you talked about reducing trash getting into the ocean.
Did you think about the air itself? Animals? Plants?
Essentials of tragedy of the commons as described in APES:
"People will use and spoil resources if they stand to gain more from using them recklessly than by preserving them".

This time, you can choose. I still think following brain-dump method is best and using retrieval practice as you fill in the table has the most 'learning agins', but given the way this assignment is an overview of several different topics, it's not the worst for the pause-and-write method.
If you use a less rigorous method, plan to study more later.
I will continue the 'separate watching from notes' method here.
I will watch this video first time without taking notes DURING (there's a pause point after the fifth legislation to give me time to quickwrite what I've learned so far).
After, I'll attempt to fill in the table lightly with what I remember about each, before revising by going back to the video or the Fiveable link.
(Most rigorous, but also most time)
I plan to pause and fill out my table as he speaks about each legislation (without censure from Metcalf on THIS video alone.)
(Least rigorous, but probably the fastest, and if you need a break from the tougher method this is the assignment to take it on.)
I will continue the 'separate watching from notes' method here.
I might take minimal notes/braindump at pause points.
After, I'll fill my table directly from the video/Fiveable link.
(Less rigorous, but if you need a break from the tougher method this is the assignment to take it on)

MULTIPLE SELECT QUESTION
30 sec • Ungraded
At the start you were asked to brainstorm.
Review what you wrote and consider: Which of these policies did your writing already predict or otherwise hint at?
Those left unmarked are probably the policies you need to highlight/underline/study. You can go further, by annotating your brainstorming with the names of the policies that exist to fix that problem.
Clean Air Act
Clean Water Act
Montreal Protocol
Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
I did not hint at or somewhat predict the need/idea for any of these.

Don't forget to do a final brain-dump if this was your method. I still strongly suggest attempting filling out the table from recall and then revising, rather than filling out the table with a direct reference.
Convention On International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
I did not hint at/predict the need for any of these.
