Complete these over the course of the semester to develop an understanding of self . Stay on track of this work so you are not overwhelmed at the end. Section A: Portfolio of self-assessment In a portfolio format, provide your self -assessment activity results (copied text, screenshot or image with appropriate citation). No word count is associated with this component. Section B: Self-reflection Provide a ref lection that elaborates your strengths and weaknesses in dealing with conf lict and diversity in organizational contexts, based on your learnings f rom the tools. Draw on theory to back up ideas. This should be approximately 700 words. Use paragraphs, formal language, and research. You may use f irst person. Section C: Conflict reflection Provide a ref lection that identif ies a previous conf lict scenario you have experienced at work (or university) and critique your interactions in this scenario using the new information gained f rom your self -assessment and strengths and weaknesses clarif ication. In this section, you should also provide some directions for your future conf lict management, based on your understanding of strengths, weaknesses, and conf lict management approaches. This ref lection should be sophisticated and processional, containing high-level thinking and research. Draw on knowledge of self -assessment, diversity, and conf lict. The style of writing is formal, but ref lective, so may draw on f irst person voice. Aim to draw on evidence to back up opinions and experiences. For higher marks, ensure you draw on at least 5 recent (within about 5 years) high quality (peer-reviewed journals) research in addition to any the self -assessment activities, and any other industry or government resources.
