Maintaining Multicultural and Ethical Competence HW 8

READINGS

Read the following from your Crisp text:

- Chapter 11, “The Categorization-Elaboration Model of Work Group Diversity,” pages 257–276.
- Chapter 12, “Divided We Fall, or United We Stand?” pages 281–291

This week you read about the Categorization Elaboration model. Apply the model to your counseling psychology specialization and make clear and specific plans about goals that you have to increase or maintain your competence in ethics and multicultural issues.

RESPONSE GUIDELINES

You will likely each have a different answer to this final discussion question, given your different specialization and goals. Comment on at least two other learners’ plans. Identify areas of strength in their plan and areas where they can make improvements.

Note: Remember, all of your discussion posts are expected to be written at a graduate level, be free from typos and spelling errors, and follow standard English grammar. You will need to support your points with in-text citations and references in APA style. This may include your readings for this course, but also outside scholarly sources that you obtain relevant to this discussion from our library.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
