Final Assignment: Reflective Paper
As we have stated, self assessment is a critical component
of the Baldrige process. Accordingly, this assignment will require you to
engage in a reflective process and allow you to develop and articulate your own
thoughts on the concept of “quality”, the Baldrige principles,
organizational issues, personal and organzational learning and other important
features discussed in the course.
Your paper should cover the issues above, address your
learning experience in the course and identify areas of your greatest (or least
if necessary) development or understanding. A well developed paper will make
reference to the Baldrige principles in a coherent and thoughtful way,
introduce new thinking if appropriate and show an understanding of the course
materials and their application in any organizational or personal environment.
As always, length does not matter;quality does. Show a depth
of thought and consideration worthy of a course in quality systems. Write
clearly and in a gramatically correct manner. Remember, clarity of presentation
goes a long way in enhancing the credibility of the presentation.
Please consider this paper as an exercise in academic
writing. Make every effort to conform to the standards of the Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5thor 6th Edition.
The assignment is due at the end of the course and is worth
200 points. Any assignment received after midnight Sunday is considered late
