Week of April 19-25

Hello Class! Here is what's on the Schedule and Participation Pages on Blackboard for this week:

*Read Chapter 8 - Organizational Communication
*Participate in this weeks discussion.
*Quiz on Chapters 6 & 8. Please make sure you finish your quiz within the 20 minute time limit. Blackboard allows extra time (40 mins.), so it is YOUR responsibility to watch the clock to make sure you are ending the quiz within the required time frame, which is 20 minutes maximum. ANY ANSWERS submitted after the 20 minute time frame will be disqualified and your quiz score will be adjusted accordingly.

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

1). How are organizations tied to the environment? What is the relationship between the school you attend and the city or town in which it is situated? What, if any, ethical obligations does an organization like a college or university have to the local community?

2). Review the etiquette rules suggested in the text. Respond to each one. Have you ever been bothered by cell phone, answering machines, or beepers? What do you feel about call waiting? Is it rude to put people on hold to take another call?

3). Pick one concept from the assigned reading (not already discussed for this week) that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.

***Remember to post 3 responses to your colleagues blogs.
