...ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS AND SKILLS – MGT 650 INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENTS AND INFORMATION This detailed syllabus describes the two individual papers that you write for the class. It also expands on what is involved in class participation, for which you get an individual grade. Detailed instructions for what to prepare as you do the readings for each week appear in the Course Schedule. Also note that the Course Schedule shows additional individual deliverables that you may need to bring to class each week (such as the cognitive style self-assessment that you bring to class early in the semester). Since much of the class involves reflection on your own and others actions in the team and individual behaviors, students find it helpful to keep a weekly journal for notes on your own learning, your self-assessment of your role in the team, and key incidents in the team. These journals are private and for your use only but cab provide well-grounded and concrete “data” for your team assessment and improvement paper and are therefore encouraged.
