Occasional in-class exercises or short assignments will be handed in by including them in the journal when you hand it in at the end of the semester. I may, without warning, collect the journals of any or all students at any point in the semester in order to verify that they are being maintained, check on assignments of gauge class reaction to course content. You must therefore bring your journal to each class session. I suggest you buy a spiral notebook with pockets for loose sheets for keeping your journal on a daily basis. Final copies of your journals must be word processed.
Daily entries can be in longhand.
While daily entries need not be long, they should be sufficiently detailed to indicate that you attended class and that you were mentally active during the class period. In addition to reactions to the class per se, I particularly welcome descriptions of how you found a particular concept or idea useful or unuseful in interpreting your present or past experience in organizations. If you have missed a class, and therefore have no entry for a particular day, observations of this sort may compensate somewhat. If you miss a class, indicate why in your journal and attach any pertinent documentation. In addition to comments in your journals, feel free to send me anonymous or signed comments about course content or management at any time during the semester.
