Students investigate personal, Canadian and organizational culture and the ways in which these manifest
themselves generally and specifically in occupations and related workplaces. Students examine the impact
that language and behaviour have on their ability to communicate effectively with colleagues, managers and
clients in Canadian workplaces. Students reflect on their own values, communication styles and workplace
behaviours in order to develop and refine their ability to demonstrate appropriate workplace behaviours in a
variety of situations such as meetings, performance reviews and daily workplace interactions. In addition,
students review Canadian human rights legislation and its impact on workplace behaviour. Students acquire
the knowledge and skills to make informed choices about their own behaviour in the workplace.

Program Coordinator: Sarah Sinclair
This course is part of the General Education curriculum which is designed to contribute to the
development of the students' consciousness of the diversity, complexity, and richness of the human
experience: their ability to establish meaning through this consciousness: and, as a result, their ability
to contribute thoughtfully, creatively, and positively to the society in which they live and work. General
Education courses strengthen students' generic skills, such as critical analysis, problem solving, and
communication, in the context of an exploration of topics with broad-based personal and/or societal
importance.

By the end of this course, students will have demonstrated the ability
to analyze workplace culture, social values and the expectations of
Canadian workplaces in terms of their daily interactions.

TEST AND ASSIGNMENT PROTOCOL

To encourage behaviours that will help students to be successful in
the workplace and to ensure that students receive credit for their
individual work, the following rules apply to every course offered
within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.
1. The professor will specify in writing test dates and times and
due dates and any special instructions for submitting
assignments and projects
2. Students must write all tests at the specified times. Missed
tests, in-class activities, assignments and presentations are
awarded a mark of zero. If an extension or make-up opportunity is
approved by the professor as outlined below, the mark of zero may
be revised by subsequent performance. The penalty for late
submission of written assignments is a loss of 10% per day for
up to five business days (excluding weekends and statutory
holidays), after which, a grade of zero is assigned. Business
days include any day that the college is open for business,
whether the student has scheduled classes that day or not.
3. Students, who miss a test or in-class activity or assignment or
fail to submit an assignment on time due to exceptional
circumstances, are required to notify their professor in advance
of the class whenever possible. A make-up test may be supplied
for students who provide an acceptable explanation of their
absence and/or acceptable documentation explaining their absence
23
(e.g., a medical certificate). All make-up tests are to be
written at a time and place specified by the professor upon the
student's return. Alternately, students may be given an
opportunity to earn the associated marks by having a subsequent
test count for the additional marks. Similarly, exceptional
circumstances may result in a modification of the due dates for
assignments.
4. Unless otherwise specified, assignments and projects must be
submitted at the beginning of class.
5. Students must complete every assignment as an individual effort
unless, the professor specifies otherwise.
6. Since there may be instances of grade appeal or questions
regarding the timely completion of assignments and/or extent of
individual effort, etc., students are strongly advised to keep,
and make available to their professor, if requested, a copy of all
assignments and working notes until the course grade has been
finalized.
7. There will be no resubmission of work unless this has been
previously agreed to or suggested by the professor.
8. Students must submit all assignments in courses with practical lab
and field components in order to pass the course.
