Overview of the Assignment
Part 1 – Assignment Instructions:
1. Create a conflict scenario in healthcare (between two individuals):
a) Ensure that you provide specific detail, including context, background,
contributing factors, points of view, etc.
b) Should be based on a personal example but do not include the outcome as you
will be mediating the scenario in class.
c) Conflict should be based on a difference of opinions as would be observed in a
collaboration, where the two parties are participants in the conflict resolution,
rather than a performance or Human Resources conflict that may require a more
prescribed or directed solution.
2. Write two character descriptions (one for each of the individuals) that will include the
“personality styles” that will be acted out in the conflict scenario.
3. Identify the conflict resolution steps (from class – Week 6) that you plan to practice in
the scenario to resolve the conflict.
4. One week before the class in which the scenarios will be acted out, email your group
members and cc your Professor. IMPORTANT: This will be a separate email to each
group member containing
a) the conflict scenario, and,
b) their specific character description.
Part 2 – About the in-class, small group presentations:
1. In class, every student will mediate the scenario that they write.
2. In your groups of three (assigned by the Professor), in class, you will take turns acting
out the scenario:
a) The group member that wrote the scenario will be the mediator, and the other
two members will play the characters that were written for them (character
descriptions)
b) One of the character group members will provide feedback to the mediator.
c) You will rotate through all the roles until each person in the group has had a
chance to be both a mediator and provide feedback.
3. You will receive feedback from your peers using the Assignment 4 Peer Feedback
Template document below.
