02 Jan a. Has there been a time

Week 5 learning activity

Please read all “Instructor Notes” prior to attempting the learning activity questions. Post responses to both learning activities in one post to make it easier for classmates to respond to your posts. You must provide your initial response by Thursday night, and provide responses to more than two classmates by Sunday night for full credit. All responses are to be substantive, showing critical thinking. They must also be free from grammatical and spelling errors (there is a spell check readily available in the response box to assist you). Here are the guidelines:

– Responses must be in paragraph format and be interactive to promote further discussion unless the activity requires otherwise;

– Respond to at least two other class members using these same requirements (full credit will only be issued for more than two responses to other class members);

– Responses must demonstrate critical thinking and be fully justified;

-Use resources from any assigned course material or own research;

-Use APA formatting for any in-text citations and references.

Please see our syllabus for a participation rubric, participation instructions, and the “Learning to Use APA” directions for our course (especially for the “How to cite the ebook for this course”).

Learning Activity #1

a. Has there been a time in which you have had a conflict either at work or at school? Describe the conflict and state what type of conflict it was.

b. To what extent do you attempt to satisfy your own concerns when you’re trying to resolve a conflict?

c. To what extent do you attempt to satisfy the other party’ concerns when you’re trying to resolve a conflict?

Learning Activity #2

a. What evidence did you see of creativity in the decision making process used in designing the Boeing 787? What process would you have used to improve creativity in the process?

b. Passengers interviewed in the clip all seemed to want bigger seats, yet the seats in the 787 Dreamliner are not any bigger. Since it seems unlikely that Boeing was not aware of the desire for bigger seats, why do you suppose larger seats were not included in the design, yet larger restrooms were?
