Questions will be derived to test your knowledge and ability to apply the text materials. More information will be provided as the examination date approaches. If you know you will be absent on the day that a quiz is scheduled, please contact me as soon as possible, so arrangements can be made. Make-up examinations will be given only in case of a documented emergency, e.g., your hospitalization or death of an immediate family member. Hiring employees with excellent communication skills is critical to all organizations.
Recruiters cite poor communication skill as the biggest weakness of new graduates.
Both the management talks and written assignments are designed to help you improve your communication skills as well as to get you to think about important managerial issues. Management talks are designed to provide you with the opportunity to practice talking to a group. The themes selected for these talks are topics that managers often find that they must talk about to their employees. Management talks are two-minute speeches on an assigned topic, such as commending for a job well done. Any assignments that are to be turned in must be type written .
