Due April 5 (Friday), April 11 (Thursday), April 17 (Wednesday), and April 25 (Thursday), respectively.

For your convenience as we enter this semester’s crush period, assignments #6, #7, #8, and #9 are posted together. They have different deadlines, as you can see, but you are welcome to complete them as early as possible. (Please do not do Asg09 TOO early.)
There will be no assignment #10; it is one “free point” that’s really FREE!

NOTE THAT THESE ARE DUE ON VARIOUS DAYS OF THE WEEK FOR SEVERAL REASONS, INCLUDING THE  NEED TO POSTPONE THE NEXT ASSIGNMENT UNTIL AFTER EXAM 2A..

BLACKBOARD ASSIGNMENT #6
Due on FRIDAY, 4/5

In the "student edition" of the premium content site, go to the Manager's Hot Seat section and complete Scenario #12: Virtual Workplace--Out of the Office Reply. Review the profiles, references, scenario, and dossier before you create your report evaluating how Ralph Ramos handled the situation. Be sure to include your answers to the 6 multiple choice questions in the conference scenario video itself.  (Use the email feature at the bottom of the screen to copy the text into your clipboard.)

Once you've created the report analyzing the situation in your own words, you can save it--along with the responses--to a text file to copy and paste into a Blackboard discussion entry. Please post your assignment by CREATING A THREAD with the subject heading Asg06.

BLACKBOARD ASSIGNMENT #7 (Asg07)

In the "student edition" of the premium content site, go to the Manager's Hot Seat section and complete Scenario #3: Partnership: The Unbalancing Act.

Include one or more paragraphs that identify the kind conflict taking place and also classify and evaluate Rande’s approach to resolving the conflict.  What mistakes do you think she and Jonas made going into their partnership and leading up to the current situation?  Can you name any things they seem to have done right?

As in previous assignments, you must answer the questions posed during the scenario, include them in your report, and paste the resulting text file into a Blackboard discussion entry with Asg07 in the subject line. (Use the email feature at the bottom of the screen to copy the text into your clipboard.)
