  • TC 8520 assess 1

    Use a template to complete a self-assessment of the thinking habits of mind, heart, and imagination and develop a plan to improve and consolidate your thinking habits.

    Finding things out is what leaders do. They are curious about why things are done a certain way, what is actually going on, why processes and services are or are not producing desired results. If results are good, curious individuals wonder how they might be better! Curiosity produces questions, and questions, particularly “why” and “what if” questions, drive the thinking that leads to innovation and improvement.

    But leaders are also people. People tend to have certain blind spots about themselves and others that they often do not investigate due to lack of awareness. Have you ever found yourself having a second conversation in your head during an actual conversation with someone, but you don’t share those thoughts? Have you ever made a series of quick judgments based on assumptions about a situation that later proved wildly inaccurate? These are universal human experiences.

    Thinking habits of mind, heart, and imagination are key to your success as a doctoral student and a leader. Tools such as the ladder of inference and the two-column exercise assist in eliminating the noise of our own biases and hidden assumptions and enable a clearer picture of the truth about a situation. Double-loop learning and other concepts help us find things out about organizations and the behaviors of their members that have impacts on organizational awareness, effectiveness, and capacity to change and improve.

    In this assessment, you establish a plan for engaging in intentional discovery about yourself and your organization. You will explore your progress against your plan as you complete each of the other assessments in this course.

    Complete and submit the template. For each criterion, insert your numerical score in the last column, and complete the Reflection narrative under each criterion table. Insert your plan where indicated at the end of Part 2.

    By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies:

    • Competency 2: Apply continuous improvement models and methods to uncover the multi-dimensional nature of problems of practice.
      • Provide a plan to improve and consolidate thinking habits while completing the assessments and readings for this course.
    • Competency 3: Analyze the implications of leadership behaviors for organizational learning.
      • Complete a self-assessment using the thinking habits of mind, heart, and imagination and providing examples to support self-rating.
    • Competency 4: Apply critical thinking skills and habits of mind to analyze problems of practice.

    Paper A: Application of a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue.

    This assignment is an opportunity to explore and apply a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue. A framework provides a methodical and systematic approach for decision making.

    UMGC Module 2 – Methods of Ethical Analysis (see LEO Content Readings for week 2) describes three structured frameworks that may be used for ethical analysis, namely Reynolds Seven-Step Approach, Kidders Nine Steps, and Spinellos Seven-Step Process. There are several ways described in UMGC Module 2 to systematically approach an ethical dilemma, and while each of the frameworks described has its merits, each will result in an ethical decision if straightforwardly, objectively, and honestly applied.

    In addition, consider the ethical theories described in Module 1 Introduction to Theoretical Ethical Frameworks (see LEO Content Readings for week 1) which help decision makers find the right balance concerning the acceptability of and justification for their actions. A separate write-up of the ethical theory that supports your decision is part of the following requirements.

    For this paper, the following five elements must be addressed:

    • Describe a current IT-related ethical issue: Since this is a paper exercise, not a real-time situation, you may want to construct a brief scenario where this issue comes into play, and thus causes an ethical dilemma. The dilemma may affect you, your family, your job, or your company; or it may be a matter of public policy or law that affects the general populace. See the list below for a list of suggested issues, which may be a source of ethical dilemmas.
    • Define a concise problem statement that is extracted from the above description or scenario. It is best if you define a specific problem caused by the dilemma, that needs a specific ethical decision to be made, that will solve the dilemma. Be aware that if it is a matter of public policy or law, that it may require a regulatory body or congressional approval to take action to implement a solution.
    • Analyze your problem using one of the structured decision-making frameworks chosen from Module 2. Make sure that you identify the decision-making framework utilized. In addition, the steps in the decision-making framework selected must be used as major headings in the Analysis section.
    • Frameworks from Module 2: Ethical Decision Making; Training Ethical Decision Making; Managers Role in Ethical Conduct; and Codes of Conduct
    • Consider and state the impact of the decision that you made on an individual, an organization, stakeholders, customers suppliers, and the environment, as applicable!
    • State and discuss the applicable ethical theory from Module 1 that supports your decision.

    Concerning your paper:

    • Prepare a minimum 3- 5 page, double-spaced paper and submit it to the LEO Assignments Module as an attached Microsoft Word file.
    • Use headings for each topic criteria
    • Provide appropriate American Psychological Association (APA) source citations for all sources you use. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your paper should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style.
    • Include a Cover Page with your Name, the UMGC/Name of the Class, and the Title of the Paper.

    For example, Kidders approach has nine steps, which are:

    • Recognize that there is a moral issue.
    • Determine the actor (whose moral issue is it?).
    • Gather the relevant facts.
    • Test for right-versus-wrong issues.
    • Test for right-versus-right paradigms (what sort of dilemma is this?).
    • Apply the resolution principles (ends-based, rule-based, or care-based).
    • Investigate the “trilemma” options (look for common ground or compromise).
    • Make the decision.
    • Revisit and reflect on the decision. (Kidder, 1995, p. 183-187)

    Reminder: Each of the steps for whatever framework that you select must be a major heading in the Analysis section of your paper.

    Here are some suggested issues for you to consider, the additional text is designed to help you flesh out the issue:

    1. Privacy on the Web: What is happening now in terms of privacy on the Web? Think about recent abuses and improvements. Describe and evaluate Web site policies, technical and privacy policy protections, and current proposals for government regulations.
    2. Personal Data Privacy Regulations in Other Countries: Report on personal data privacy regulations, Web site privacy policies, and governmental/law enforcement about access to personal data in one or more countries; e.g., the European Union. This is especially relevant as our global economic community expands and we are more dependent on non-US clients for e-business over the Internet.
    3. Computer-Based Crimes: Discuss the most prevalent types of computer crimes, such as Phishing. Analyze why and how these can occur. Describe protective measures that might assist in preventing or mitigating these types of crimes.
    4. Government Surveillance of the Internet: The 9/11 attacks on the US in 2001 brought many new laws and permits more government surveillance of the Internet. Is this a good idea?
    5. The Digital Divide: Does it exist; what does it look like; and, what are the ethical considerations and impact?
    6. Privacy in the Workplace – Monitoring Employee Web and E-Mail Use: What are current opinions concerning the monitoring of employee computer use. What policies are employers using? Should this practice of monitoring, be authorized or not?
    7. Medical Privacy: Who owns your medical history? What is the state of current legislation to protect your health information? Is it sufficient? There are new incentives with federal stimulus financing for health care organizations to develop and implement digital health records.
    8. Software Piracy: How many of you have ever made an unauthorized copy of software, downloaded software or music (free or for a fee), or used copyrighted information without giving proper credit or asking permission? Was this illegal or just wrong? How is this being addressed?
    9. Consumer Profiling: With every purchase you make, every Web site you visit, your preferences are being profiled. What is your opinion regarding the legal authority of these organizations to collect and aggregate this data?
    10. Biometrics & Ethics: Your fingerprint, retinal-vessel image, and DNA map can exist entirely as a digital image in a computer, on a network, or in the infosphere. What new and old ethical problems must we address?
    11. Social Networking: What are some of the ethical issues surrounding using new social networks? How are these now considered for business use? What are business social communities? Are new/different protections and security needed for these networks?
    12. Gambling in Cyberspace: Is it legal? Are there national regulations and/or licensing? What are the oversight and enforcement requirements? Are there international implications? What are the social and public health issues?
    13. Pornography in Cyberspace: For example, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling protecting as free speech computer-generated child pornography
    14. Medicine and Psychiatry in Cyberspace: Some considerations include: privacy issues; security; third-party record-keeping; electronic medical records; access to information, even by the patient (patient rights); access to information by outsiders without patient knowledge; authority to transfer and/or share information. Are there any policies proposed by professional organizations?
    15. Counterterrorism and Information Systems: Your protection versus your rights
    16. Open-source Software versus Closed-source Software: Ethical ramifications and impact on intellectual property law
    17. Creative Commons Licenses: How do they work and what are the legal and ethical impacts and concerns?
    18. Universal ID card: What is the general position of the U.S. government about issuing each individual a unique ID card? Which individual U.S. government agencies have already provided a unique ID card? What steps have been taken to include individual ID information electronically in passports? How is privacy and security provided?
    19. Video Games: Does playing video games distract from everyday responsibilities? Do video games correlate with real world violence? Why do game creators continually increase the violence of video games? What is video game addiction?
    20. Cyberbullying: What is cyberbullying and what can be done to stop it?
    21. Net Neutrality: What is the current position of the federal government and is it fair to all?

    In addition to the list, It is beneficial to include new digital technologies that are emerging/have emerged, such as GenAI, Genome editing, alternate and virtual reality, remote work and monitoring to name a few.

    Reflection Assignment: Thinking for Yourself in the Age of AI Reading The Virtues of Thinking for Yourself. Lund, C. (2025). The Virtues of Thinking for Yourself | by Cooper Lund | Medium Purpose of the Assignment The purpose of this reflection is to encourage you to think critically about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in learning, writing, and academic work. This assignment asks you to reflect on your own relationship with AI, consider its potential benefits and limitations, and examine how relying on AI may affect your development as a studentparticularly in this course. This is not a summary of the reading. Instead, you should engage with the authors ideas and connect them to your own experiences, choices, and learning process. Instructions Write a thoughtful reflection consisting of at least two complete paragraphs (8-10 sentences per paragraph). Your response must: Address the required question below, and Respond to at least two (2) additional questions from the list that follows. You are encouraged to reference specific ideas from the reading, but direct quotations are not required. Students must use the attached template to complete this assignment. Please type directly into the document, delete the placeholder text (including Student Name), and replace it with your own information. Submit the completed template file as your assignment. Required Question What is one concrete choice you can make this semester to ensure that AI supports, rather than replaces, your own thinking and learning? Choose at Least Two Additional Questions The author argues that the work is the point. What do you think this means in the context of learning, and how might this idea influence the way students approach completing assignments in college? The author argues that struggle, or friction, is necessary for growth and learning. First, explain how using AI to complete or shortcut writing assignments might reduce productive struggle and affect your development as a student, both in this course and in future courses. Then, discuss where you see value in working through difficulty rather than receiving quick answers. Identify one specific idea, example, or claim from the reading that challenged, confirmed, or complicated your existing views about AI. Explain how this idea relates to your own academic habits or assumptions, and describe whether it has influenced how you think about using AI as a student. In the context of this course, what do you think responsible or appropriate AI use should look like? Where do you think the line is between using AI as a tool and allowing it to do the thinking for you? Reflect on your own use of AI in academic settings. In what ways has AI been helpful to you, and in what ways might it have limited your learning or independence? Important Notes This assignment is about honest reflection, not agreement or disagreement with the author. There is no single correct response. Your reflection should demonstrate engagement with the reading and thoughtful consideration of your own learning process. Writing quality, clarity, and effort matter. Responses that rely on general statements without engaging specific ideas from the reading may not receive full credit.
