CARD 548 Week 2 DISC Survey

INTRODUCTION:

The DISC Survey is designed to measure four basic styles of behavior. Those are Directing, Influencing, Supportive, and Contemplative. Each style has strong points, and possible weaknesses, to an individual’s effectiveness. The survey materials will show both productive aspects of each of the four styles, as well as counterproductive aspects.

Take the DISC Survey online using the instructions found in the Week One Assignments page. Then, complete the following assignment that is due in the Dropbox by the end of Week Two of the session.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT:

Write a 3 to no more than 5 page double-spaced paper [be sure to use subheadings to identify each section] in which you use the results of your DISC Survey. The content of your DISC paper should include, but is not limited to, answers to the following questions:

I. Describe your personal styles (25 points)

Describe your strongest style(s) and your weakest style. Provide examples to illustrate how the strong styles characterize you (or, in the case of your weakest style, do not characterize you). If your profile is balanced, describe either how the four styles equally characterize you or how your styles change depending on circumstances.

II. Discuss how you developed your styles (25 points)

Consider the possible effects of family, school, organizational memberships, and/or culture on the development of your self-reported styles. Discuss the factor that you think was most important in shaping your personal styles.

III. Assess the impact of your styles on your effectiveness (25 points)

Discuss the impact of your styles in terms of two factors–such as interpersonal relations, group activities, individual or managerial performance.

IV. Identify a target for change and a specific change strategy (25 points)

Focus on a single style and a concrete, behavioral strategy for change.

If there are certain issues that you would prefer not to discuss, simply exclude them from your paper and focus on other styles, events, or factors.

CARD 548 Week 8 Final Career Development Portfolio Presentation

There will be IConnect sessions in weeks seven and eight that will allow students to make a short 10-12 minute slide presentation on the results of their work this session in building their Career Development Portfolio. IConnect is found under the “Course Home” tab in our classroom. Those sessions may be attended by students, and questions and comments will be allowed on the presentations. That presentation is worth 100 points.

Guidelines for your Presentation:

Generate a 10-12 minute Power Point presentation on your Career Development Portfolio. Think about three main sections:

·         · Introduction

·         · Discussion

·         · Conclusion

The Introduction and Conclusion may be only one slide each, with the other 10 slides devoted to the body of your presentation. The presentation should include no more than 12 slides because of time limitations.

The 10-12 minute presentation will be followed by a 3 minute Q and A session, thereby allowing each student 15 total minutes.

Schedule your final presentation session to present the results of the final project development. Ensure that your Power Point presentation is posted in the DropBox at least four hours before the start of your presentation so that files can be uploaded prior to the start of the presentation.

The instructor will upload your files into the presentation area – as long as you have uploaded your work in our classroom drop box for the assignment.

You will into IConnect Present (found under the Course Home Tab) a few minutes before the scheduled presentations are to start for the scheduled day/evening.
