How do you go about understanding the writing assignment?

View yourself through two lenses: first, describe how you move through your own writing process; then, tell me how you see yourself as a writer, in terms of your past (hindrances, disappointments, challenges, successes, fluency) and future (improvements, plans, goals). I will serve as your primary audience, and your classmates will become part of your audience as well.

Your purpose is to examine your writing self- truthfully and then describe the results of that examination to me and your classmates. The context for this assignment is our writing course, but the assignment will serve to provide you and me with a current snapshot of you as a writer: Where you are – and where you’re going – as a writer is important to your success in this course.

I am interested in your view of yourself as a writer, but I realize that your development as a reader may play an important part in your development as a writer. Feel free to interweave important moments in your reading history as well, if doing so strengthens your essay.

The following questions (or prompts) may help with the invention of your essay, but they won’t help you much with the organization (or arrangement). Many students feel more comfortable as chronological writers, but that organizational pattern may not be the best one for you.

Prompts:

1. How do you go about understanding the writing assignment?

2. How do you typically prepare for a writing assignment? Describe the steps you take, including rereading the assignment, asking questions about it, talking to instructors or friends, jotting down ideas, gathering information, and so on. How far in advance of the due date do you usually begin working on the assignment?

3. What is your ideal place to write? Would it be solitary and silent or noisy and crowded or just a little of both? Describe the places you’ll actually be doing your writing for this course and then discuss their suitability for you.

4. Describe your typical drafting or writing process. Do you finish a draft in one sitting, or do you need to take breaks? When you get stuck, what do you do to get moving again? Is your process efficient? Are there specific steps you could take to improve your efficiency? What does revising mean to you? Do you ever revise, and if so, what specifically do you do when you revise (insert, delete, move around information, check punctuation; proofread for typos and misspellings)? Why do you revise (or not revise)?

5. Finally, how do you respond to the evaluation of your writing? What do you read first – the grade itself or the teacher’s comments? Do you want an explanation for your grade immediately, or do you understand how you earned that grade? Do you refer back to your teacher’s comments or previous assignments as you work on your current assignments?

Stand-Alone Project: A Proposal for Expatriate Employee Development (200 points)

You are an IHRM professional who has been asked to create an IHRM plan for the development of expatriate employees (expat) who will open and manage a major facility employing 5,000 people in a foreign country. You know that the preparation of expatriate employees is key to the success of this international operation. It is critical that the expat be able to address cultural differences and to meet the expectations of the local population.

Part A

Identify a home country culture and a foreign country culture that you wish to research and use as the situational basis for your project. For example, the home country culture could be the United States, and the foreign country culture could be China. Use ProQuest, the database found on the Ashworth College website, the Internet, your textbook, and the Lecture and Research Updates to research cultural similarities and differences (in terms of Hofstede’s four dimensions) between the two countries’ cultures for work place issues that might arise for expatriates. (Keep in mind that you will look for general stereotypical information about a given country’s culture.) If possible, interview individuals from each of the two countries’ cultures that you’ve chosen to use in your project. Try to find people who have similar work experience. Use the information you gather to provide the following:

Describe the type of company that you work for by industry, age, financial health, and reason for wishing to expand overseas. Also, use Hofstede’s dimensions to describe the home national culture. (20 points)
Describe the national culture where the new subsidiary will be established in terms of age and financial health, as well as motivation to create an alliance with the acquiring company. Also, use Hofstede’s dimensions to describe the new national culture. (20 points)
