The assignment

Weekly Reflective Journals –Syllabus

A core goal for this class is to facilitate your reflection on the issue of diversity and your thoughts about the readings. At the end of each week you will submit 300-500 words of reflection on the issues presented and readings. I want to hear your reactions to the material and how they can be applied/seen in your life and workplace. Your entries will be submitted each week through the Weekly Reflection Journal link available in a weekly module via Blackboard. These journals can be written in an informal, journalistic, reflective and personal style. This is in contrast to other written assignments for this class, which should be formal and professional.

For this week's journal reflection, I would like you to think about your current place of work or a previous employer.  How diverse and inclusive is/was it when it comes to employees with disabilities?
