Reminder: Assignment #1 is due tomorrow

Blackboard Assignment #1 - Asg01-Grp##

Due on Tuesday, September13.


(NOTE: GROUPS MAY NOT BE ASSIGNED UNTIL AFTER NEXT WEEK, SO FOR ASSIGNMENT #1 ***ONLY***, STUDENTS WHO COMPLETE THE WORK EARLY MAY POST TO THE FULL CLASS DISCUSSION. IF YOU SUBMIT EARLY, SUBSTITUTE NN FOR THE GROUP NUMBER IN THE HEADING, WHICH WILL THEN READ Asg01-GrpNN. THIS EXCEPTION IS FOR ASSIGNMENT #1 ONLY; FOR FUTURE ONES YOU WILL INCLUDE YOUR 2-DIGIT GROUP NUMBER IN PLACE OF NN, e.g., Asg02-Grp08.)

Complete Self-Assessment #1, Appreciating and Valuing Diversity, in the "student edition" of the Kinicki text's premium content site.

Post your numeric score and discuss what it means. Then do the following exercise:

Have you ever experienced a situation in which someone’s lack of awareness or sensitivity to another’s differences created a problem in the workplace? Tell the story of what happened, casting yourself as the insensitive one or as the person who suffered through someone else’s lack of regard. Discuss how the incident took place and exactly what might have been done to avoid the problem. (If you can’t think of such an actual event, you will have to invent one.)
