Week of February 14 - 20

Here is what's listed on the Schedule and Participation Pages for this week:

Requirements:
*Read Chapter 5 - Diversity in Groups: The Strength of Different Perspectives

*Participate in this week's discussion. (3 posts to your blog, 150 words each and 3 comments on your colleagues blogs, 100 words each). Make sure your comments are within this week's discussion. Do not comment on past weeks posts.

*Email Instructor with some possible choices for your Small Group Observation project if you haven't already. (Assignment #3, which is a semester long project).

*Reminder: The Group Facilitation Project is due on Friday, February 26th by 11:59pm.



Class Discussion: Answer one in each of your three posts at least 12 hours apart:

1). Are you, or have you ever been a member of a group that has been stereotyped? Does your experience reflect the concepts identified in this chapter? How? Are there differences? What are they?

2). Explain the concept "white men of privilege". Do you agree with the concept? Why or why not?

3). Pick one concept from either text, not already discussed, that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.

***Remember to post 3 responses to your colleagues blogs with this week's discussion. Make sure you are not posting a comment on a previous week's questions.


REMINDER: Monday, February 15th is a furlough day so I will not be conducting any university business that day. That means that I will not answer email, hold office hours or be available to students.
