Homework: Module Journal Guidelines
The journals in this course are private communications between you and the instructor. Approach your journals as an opportunity to reflect on and apply what you learn each week from the assigned readings, discussions, and activities. These journals are a chance to share your knowledge and expertise from your past educational and professional experiences. As a successful professional, you will need good reflection and writing skills. Journal homework offers you the opportunity to further develop these skills. Each journal homework is graded individually.
Overview
Your knowledge of the not-for-profit business sector has grown. Now, you have scheduled an interview with someone from that sector. A well-constructed interview will help you collect the information needed to complete the short paper in Module Six and your strategic analysis in the final project. You will learn how the interviewee joined the organization and about their passion for making a difference in the world through their work.
You must have the interviewee sign the interview consent form to make certain you have permission to use their responses in your final project. Let the person know about the consent form when you schedule the interview. The person may need to get approval to sign the agreement.
Use the interview questions provided as a guide. Write some additional questions that will help you get the information you need to complete your short paper and final project.
This journal homework allows you to get your instructor's feedback on the preparation for your interview. The interview will take place no later than Module.
Prompt
In your journal homework, address the following critical elements:
Question I. Provide the main elements of information, including the expected date, time, and location or method (phone or videoconference) for the upcoming interview.
Question II. Effectively incorporate research into the interviewee's role and involvement in the organization using the organization's website and other resources like news reports, government, and professional organization websites.
Question III. Develop a list of questions to ask during the interview that will produce information for the final project strategic analysis.
You don't need to list the questions that are provided. Research the interviewee and the organization so that you are prepared to ask those questions in addition to the questions you develop for this journal.
