Discussion Topics from the Text

The text includes various discussion points sidebars called "Myth or Science" and "Point: Counterpoint." We will discuss several of these topics in class. You should read the item and think of good reasons to support your own position on the issue. No written material is required, but students should be prepared to participate in the class discussion on these points. The assigned items are listed in the class schedule.

Examples of Concepts in Organizational Behavior

Throughout the course, I'll have you bring in examples from your work that demonstrate some of the key concepts we cover in class. I'll give you some questions to answer about each set of examples. We'll discuss them in class to bring up key points about using these concepts effectively on the job.

Exercises from the Self-Assessment Library

Along with your text, I'll give you a copy of the Prentice Hall Self-Assessment Library on CD-ROM. It contains several instruments you can take to evaluate yourself relative to several key concepts discussed in the text. You should complete the assigned assessments each week and bring a print-out of the results to class to discuss what you discovered.  

Research Paper

The capstone project for this course is a research paper targeted toward solving a problem facing an organization you choose. You should begin to narrow your choice of subjects at the start of the class. Talk to me if you have any questions.
