Discussion 5 For OB Class
There will be a discussion question or topic posted in the discussion area for each chapter. The discussion question will remain open for one week. No late work will be accepted. You can earn 25 points a week by participating in the discussion board. You will be graded on the quality of your responses, answers or questions, not merely on the fact that you participated. Please apply the Critical Thinking rubric to your work. Your posting must be Substantive:
Providing a new thought, idea or perspective
Citing and experience or example of what we are learning
Adding a new twist on a perspective
Critically thinking about an idea/concept
Questioning or challenging a principle or perspective
I do NOT consider the following types of comments to be substantive:
Very basic comment such as ‘I agree’ or ‘I disagree’
Simply restating what has already been said unless there is a direct purpose in doing so
Disrespectfully disagreeing
Pat answers that are not thought provoking
Use of unedited dictation software comments
To receive the 25 points you must do two things, First, reply to the posted question, and Second, reply to at least two (2) of your classmates responses. The discussion board is meant to take the place of the normal in-class discussion that you have in a traditional class structure. Each posting and reply should consist of a complete paragraph of a minimum of five sentences. I will be using a rubric for grading of discussion boards so please expect some changes to the syllabus as the semester progresses.
For each Chapter Discussion: After reading the Chapter choose an area or topic that strikes home with you and a work environment that concerns the area of Organizational Behavior. Be sure you are not just stating your opinion, but the grounding of the text to the situation in support of the chapter or where the chapter offering was mishandled by your management/organization.
