You will be asked to keep a journal over the course of this course that takes notes on and reflects on the assigned readings. Since this journal is the only place where you will be asked to provide a deliverable for all scholarly materials, you will need to deal explicitly and thoroughly with them in your journal to earn full credit for the journal. I advise you to keep informal notes over the course of the entire module, preferably making entries right after each class session. By the end of this course, you will have composed a journal amounting to about a 20-page paper (12pt font, double spaced): 10-12 pages by the midpoint and another 8-10 pages by the final submission. You could improve the diction and professionalism of your final version of the journal just before you turn it in, but since it is expected to be a real reflection journal, it does not need to “look like” a standard academic paper. You will, however, be expected to cite all your sources accurately.  Your journal will be evaluated in its clarity, organization, quality of analysis, and accurate and effective application of course material in your reflections.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your journal will be evaluated in its clarity, organization and quality of analysis and reflection. It should also evidence a careful reading of the assigned materials and make a deliberate effort to apply insights, concepts or arguments from this module’s assigned readings to your life and professional work. The objective is to take away learning from this course that will support your long-term development as an ethical business leader.<\/strong>
<\/span><\/p>\n

You may use any citation format with which you are already familiar and have facility. The default recommendation for business and economics courses is APA, but you could use Chicago Style, MLA, etc. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/span>listen and learn<\/h3>\n

In order to understand the full context of the cases and examples presented in this course,<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span>listen to and learn from the differing perspectives and interests of all the stakeholders involved. Pay particular attention to hidden or marginalized voices and vantagepoints. Listen and learn from the perspectives brought to the case analyses by the presenting teams and your other classmates in class discussion.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Listen deeply to the messages conveyed by the other scholarly material (articles, book chapters, videos, and websites) assigned each week. What are the most powerful and important takeaways from each of these materials? How can you apply your learning to your life and work?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

 <\/span>empathize and examine<\/h3>\n

When examining cases and examples, consider carefully what is at stake for the key stakeholders. What is behind their perspectives and motivations? <\/span>Do some perspectives carry more weight than others? <\/span> <\/span>Why? Which perspectives can you relate to, and which do you have difficulty understanding?<\/p>\n

Reflect on these cases and examples in relation to your own life and work experience. What have you learned about yourself and how might you approach thinking and decisions differently on the basis of this empathy and examination?<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/span>assess and analyze<\/h3>\n

Identify the major ethical problems posed by the course material and explain how they pertain to your life and work. You will need to consider both behavioral and analytical factors as you draw out connections and implications for your work life and the specifics of your organizational context.<\/span><\/p>\n

Articulate how these problems manifest in your spheres of concern and begin to assess and analyze these problems from the vantage point of the course material. Consider several courses of action you might take as a leader to improve the ethics of the situation you face. Try to formalize the ethical decision-making process you will be undertaking, ideally spelling out the steps you will take.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

 <\/span>design and deliver<\/h3>\n

Your assignment is to consider what you have discovered in the phases above and design and deliver a response. <\/p>\n

Each week, you will make a journal entry in which you:<\/p>\n

1) Summarize key points and concepts from course material assigned. (Note you do not have to summarize everything assigned. You can pick which of the materials on which to focus. However, please do not merely double work already be submitted in discussion forums or team presentations. Please treat this journal as a distinct assignment where you will get to engage with materials that you didn’t already cover in prior assignments);<\/p>\n

2) Reflect on its meaning through listening, learning, empathy, and examination, and application to your life. Assess and analyze the course material and apply it explicitly to your work context; <\/p>\n

3) Review the entries to ensure that they are well-organized, clear, and readable. Be sure to include subject headings, dates, and readings for each entry. Add citations where appropriate. <\/p>\n

You will submit this journal twice: once at midpoint and once during finals week. Since midpoint submission is in week 6, that document will contain 6 entries and the final submission will add 4 more entries. For the final journal, please add entries to your working document that had been submitted at the midpoint.<\/p>\n
