Paper Description
For some students, the focus needs to shift away from regurgitation of the text, to knowing core information, identifying which parts are useful in specific situations, and how to apply appropriate HRM practices.
Paper Structure
The course is loosely structured according to Halstead's "Learn Do Teach" model. You will attend a two hour lecture and a one hour tutorial each week. In the first part of the lecture, you will Learn about HRM topics through lectures. In the second part you will have an opportunity to Do an individual activity based on what you have learned. In the tutorial, you will Teach each other by sharing your personal opinions and applying your knowledge through case studies, simulations and other activities.
Individual assignments consist of four online tests throughout the semester, as well as a final test, which will relate to associated required readings. You will also complete an individual assignment which will run throughout the semester and conclude with a written report
We have a group assignment for which you need to register online through Moodle in the first week of the semester. You need to be in one group of four (4) people for the group assignment, based on a topic that you choose from a list of four options.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:
