I wanted to clarify the referencing requirements for A1. To be eligible for a mark of CR, you have to cite (in RMIT Harvard style)::

(1) The Schroth article

(2) The Ted Talk

(3) Three academic journal articles (e.g., not the text book, not lecture slides, not newspapers, not blogs)

To be eligible for a mark of HD, you will need Six academic journal articles

There are journal articles you may wish to use in the Supplemental Readings, but you may also go to the library to find articles that are closer to the points you are trying to make. Please go to the online library portal for assistance.

Assignment task: What do I need to do?

This assignment asks you to consider, 'what does it mean to be an effective manager in a diverse workforce?' It requires you to read and synthesise information from current research articles in order to write an informed response.
