Description

Applied Final Project - (25%):

After completing this course, students should be able to

  1. make connections and analyze problems related to current events using knowledge of the historical context of diversity issues
  2. advocate within interpersonal relationships, communities, and organizations, utilizing tools of diversity consciousness and applying knowledge of civil rights and the social ramifications of diversity

BEHS 220 students are required to submit a final project which is worth one quarter of the final course grade. This project should reflect the student’s highest level of work. The Personal Action Plan for Diversity Consciousness requires students to reflect on what they have learned about diversity understanding, awareness and skills through a practical exercise which culminates in a final 5 to 7 page paper promoting diversity at the individual, community, and even global level. Because communication is a vital skill in promoting diversity awareness, this written project is expected to be thoughtful, well-organized, and well-written. Students may wish to consult with the Effective Writing Center and Information and Library Services for guidance.

The Personal Action Plan will consist of a written final product in which the following items are addressed:
