Regarding Blackboard Assignments #5, #6, #7, and #8
Due April 12, 14, 26, and 28, respectively
For your convenience as we approach the term’s crush period, assignments #5, #6, #7, and #8 are posted together. They have different deadlines, as you can see, but you are encouraged to complete them as early as possible. (Please DO NOT do Asg08 TOO early.) Liaisons have no extra responsibility on assignments #5 and #8; they should just do what all the other students do. Liaisons are also advised that there will be no Blackboard contributions #9 and #10. For those two assignments, everyone gets two **really free** points. If liaisons want to be sure to take their two individual Blackboard Assignment "days off," assignments #5, #6, #7, and #8 will be their last opportunities to do so. Liaisons doing 7 or 8 assignments receive the same 10 individual contribution points as those who do just six of them.
Blackboard Assignment #5 - Asg05-Grp##
Due date: TUESDAY, APRIL 12
In the “student edition” of the premium content site, go to Self-Assessment Topic 13, Communication, and complete the “Active Listening Skills Inventory.” Once you complete the survey as honestly as possible, you will be issued a feedback report. Do you agree fully with the feedback you received? Write a short response outlining the reasons you do or do not agree with this feedback. Feel free to cite specific conversations or other events from your own experience or instances you are familiar with. Liaisons do only what is required of everyone else for this assignment. Due date: TUESDAY, April 12.Blackboard Assignment #6 (Asg06-Group##)
Due THURSDAY, April 14
Lives people generally consider to be "well-lived" are often characterized by extensive community involvement, so "service learning" is a topic we've mentioned more than once in class. Though doing a project to benefit both the student and the community is an important part of students' preparation for business careers, such an activity is not easily mentored and evaluated in a survey course like Management 341. Knowing and thinking about SL, however, remains an objective of this course. Write a short report (1-3 paragraphs) covering one of three topics: (1) a service learning project you began and sustained throughout this term, (2) some such project you carried out at any time in the past, or (3) a project you will or might engage in at some time in the future. Include a discussion of the activity's benefits to you and to the community. There is a wealth of information at the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse web site (http://www.servicelearning.org/what_is_service-learning/service-learning_is/index.php). Along with a more detailed definition and explanation of the process, you will find a glossary of terms and a list of some jobs/activities to give you ideas. Appropriate local undertakings might include work on the campus drive to increase organ and tissue donation, cooperating with the Junior Chamber of Commerce to teach economic concepts to public school students, or running a campaign to provide household or medical supplies to less privileged populations here or in developing nations. Due date: THURSDAY, April 14.
In addition to doing what is required of everyone else for this assignment, liaisons should post a paragraph to the executive council discussion board. In this posting, please indicate which of the other students’ exercises you considered to be of the greatest overall learning and service value in each category ([1] those that are in progress, [2] those actually completed, and [3] those that are planned or imagined). Indicate why you chose this posting above the others in that category. Of course, you can ignore any category in which no group member posted. Liaison posting deadline: FRIDAY, April 15.
Individual Blackboard Assignment #7
Due on TUESDAY, April 26
In the "student edition" of the premium content site, take the Self Assessment titled “Assessing Your Ethical Decision-Making Skills.” Read the feedback and write one or two sentences reporting your score and reacting to it in any way you like. Look over Session number “24 Supplemental Ethics Case Slides,” posted on Electronic Reserve two weeks before this assignment’s deadline. Then go to the Manager's Hot Seat section and complete Scenario #2: Ethics: Let’s Make a Fourth Quarter Deal. Review the profiles, references, scenario, and dossier before you create your report.
Answer the questions throughout the case, and add a paragraph evaluating Jason’s performance.
Please post your assignment as Asg07-GrpNN, where NN represents your 2-digit group number. If you are in Group 18, for example, the subject heading will include "Asg07-Grp18" with no spaces, and the posting will be created on the group 12 discussion forum.
In addition to doing the same assignment as everyone else, liaisons should read everyone else’s assignments and post a message (Asg07-Grp18) to the Executive Council discussion. First, liaisons should list people’s scores on the assessment (not their names, just their scores), and then write a paragraph discussing very generally the variation in their evaluations of Jason’s performance. Indicate whether you think the group could have been lead to any consensus about Jason’s overall behavior in this scenario and how YOU believe he should proceed at this point.
This liaison report is due by THURSDAY, April 28.
Blackboard Assignment #8 (Asg08-Grp##)
Due THURSDAY, April 28
