Learning Objectives/Outcomes: MGMT 1P96 involves content that exemplifies procedural learning. Throughout the semester, you will develop skill sets through the application of what you learn in this course. These skill sets are integral to your success in completing your university degree and in acquiring competence and confidence in three key areas that will allow you to survive in high-performance workplaces successfully. These are:   

Communication Skills – reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Analytical Skills – the ability to learn, to reason, to think creatively, to make decisions, and to solve problems. Personal/Interpersonal Skills – individual responsibility, time-management, teamwork, and integrity.

The course will focus on four general dimensions that parallel the procedural learning strategy: Qualitative Case Analysis, Quantitative Case Analysis, Presentations, and Class Participation. Each of these dimensions will provide you with opportunities to develop unique capacities in both written and oral communication, as well as to develop abilities in decision-making, critical reasoning, financial literacy, and leadership. Much of the learning in this class will be self-directed by the students. The subsequent information provided below details the learning responsibilities of you – the students. Please read the following carefully so that you understand fully your part in this process.

Class Contribution, Attendance, and Grades: Participation is a critical element of this class because MGMT 1P96 is skills and application-based. Classes will not be recorded for later viewing, and student-initiated recordings of the class will not be permitted. Throughout the course, we will conduct several different activities: case reviews as a full class, group presentations in teams, and real-life analysis exercises. To be effective, ALL of these activities require your undivided attention and full participation. Therefore, it is imperative to be well-prepared for every class and ready to participate. Participation marks are not awarded simply for attendance because it is clearly understood that class attendance is a requirement of participation. However, missing classes without approval will affect your grade.

Requests (in writing only) for virtual consultations must be sent at least 48 hours before the desired meeting time (allotted in 15-minute slots or longer if time is available).The request must include a specific guiding “subject” line, and, in the body of the message, a specific explanation of the rationale for the consultation and a designation of any questions and/or materials that might need to be reviewed beforehand.
