Homework: Managerial Communications
Getting the Proper Message Across
Use research resources (be sure they are credible sources), and write about one of the following topics:
I. Sending Mixed Signals: When Nonverbal Messages Conflict with Verbal Communication within the Same Dialog
II. Gender Differences: Workplace Communication Styles Exhibited by Men and Women
III. The Importance of Vocabulary in Business Writing
The written homework should be between 1050 words. The report must be professionally written, demonstrate mastery of the concepts in Modules 1 through 3, display objectivity, and be carefully copyedited. It must be written in conformance with the conventions of APA style, and all sources, whether directly quoted or paraphrased, must be cited in the text of your homework as well as included on a References page.
Note: This homework is graded based on the homework specifications above using the Written Homework Rubric. Please review both the homework description and the rubric carefully for the required details.
Before submitting any of the discussion postings (except the Introductions posting, to which this does not apply) or written homeworks, check the following:
1. Note that if an homework directs you to use research resources, you are expected to demonstrate that you have conducted research beyond your text. (In addition, you are expected to properly cite this research as part of the homework.) An homework that is well written but fails to indicate that you have done outside research is incomplete.
2. Carefully proofread your document and make any revisions to grammar, content, and style. With the exception of correspondence, professional reporting is prepared objectively in the third person to limit any possible author bias. Eliminate any vague pronouns from the composition (i.e., pronouns that lack concrete antecedents). Check tense, since most reports are written in the literary present to provide a sense of timeliness for the reader. Past tense is best saved for historical reporting, and future tense is appropriate when a report's subject centers on a prediction.
3. Ensure that any ideas that are not your original work (ideas you have taken from the work of others) are correctly referenced using APA citation format for both in-text and bibliographic entries.
4. Evaluate the document to affirm that the topic of the submission directly relates to the subject of the course (i.e., managerial communications). The homework must clearly demonstrate the competency of a lesson learned by including appropriate theory, concepts, and vocabulary. The object of the report-that is, the scenario, situation, or event-must serve as an example that shows the mentor that a lesson can be applied to the workplace.
Format your homework according to the give formatting requirements:
1. The answer must be double spaced, typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the course title, the student's name, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The references and Citations should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
