An additional reminder and the first listserv email distribution list message:

Blackboard Assignment #2 - Asg02

Due Thursday, February 7

THOUGH YOU HAVE NEARLY 2 WEEKS TO DO THIS BRIEF ASSIGNMENT, YOU SHOULD NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO ACCESS THE PREMIUM CONTENT AND RECORD YOUR ID AND PASSWORD WHERE YOU CAN FIND IT FOR FUTURE ASSIGNMENTS. YOU WILL WANT TO LEAVE TIME TO RESOLVE ANY DIFFICULTY YOU HAVE ACCESSING THE CONTENT OR POSTING YOUR ANSWER.

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

Select the DISCUSSION tab on the left column of our Blackboard class page, go to “full class discussion,”and then click on “create thread.”   The subject should read “Asg02” with no spaces and no quotation marks.

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

If you have 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.  You may cast 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 either cannot remember or prefer not to reveal such an actual event, you may create a story about a situation that fits this description.

The assignment is due on Thursday, February 7, which means it can earn one full point for one minute after 11:59 p.m. on that day.  Half credit for a late submission may be awarded for the 48 hours which follow that deadline.
