Details of the analysis will be developed in class. This course provides opportunities for students to develop their competencies in the area of diversity. The specific topics include individual differences, perception, culture, attitudes, and workplace diversity. Students appreciate diversity as a source of organizational effectiveness. Students understand that individual cognitive processes involve economies of perception, judgment, and evaluation.
Students reflect on their cognitive processes as they apply to groups.
Students understand the organization of work as a source of group formation, identity construction, valued differences, and conflict. These summaries are shared in the group. Each individual in a group should develop different theories. No matter what the circumstances, at least one theory shall be submitted for each section by the due date. Failure to meet this requirement for any section results in an F for the course for the individual.
