I
am excited to be here teaching and learning with you. This class is in the field of my Ph.D. Therefore, this class continues to be a giant
experiment which will use the web, e-mail, and electronic presentation
materials to explore communication in business.
Join with me in the learning experience.
If there is information that your are not getting, let me know. This class does meet the state’s requirements
for communication for the CSU. I want
you to be able to use the skills learned in this class. I want you to have an exceptional learning
experience during the next 18 weeks. To
this end we must both work to achieve these goals.
Instructional Objectives:
The goals of this
class are: (1) to learn to be comfortable speaking in front of peers and
presenting your ideas to your supervisors,
(2) to recognize the underling forces that control how we communicate
within an organization, (3) to understand the power structures in interpersonal
and small group speaking situations that will effect how your work within an
organization, and (4) to develop the
ability to use communication as a way of empowering you.
Requirements: Come to class!
Be open to learning and allowing me to facilitate your learning. Come prepared to work during class. Do your homework,
tests, and speeches on time. Read the text, you have spent a lot of money on
it, use it!!
Grading: There will be:
(1)
Two individual presentations
using some form of multi-media material and based upon the business model and
one group presentation (30%)
(2)
Outlines and a video tape
are required on the day of the presentation.
(3)
At least 3 tests (30%) (if you miss a test I reserve the right to
allow you to make it up but you must come and talk to me about it first),
(4)
Weekly 1 page chapter
summaries (20%),
(5)
Two exercises from the end
of the chapter for homework (10%),
(6)
One weekly eCollege assignments
(10%)
(7)
participation (being to work
on time is part of this training).
(8)
All work will be typed and turned in each week
(9)
Communication can be through the e-mail system. (Hot Mail does work)
Understandings: We are adults and I recognize our children, work,
and crazy life will interfere with this class.
Keep this to a minimum. Please
come and talk to me about any problems.
I reserve the right to drop you from the class if you miss more than the
collage allowed limit. If you are going
to drop the class it is your responsibility to get the correct forms filled out
at Admissions and Records. Also, as we
are adults, we will work quickly. If I
am going too fast or miss steps for you, let me know. Do not be shy in this class.
