Objective Contents OLR FootPrint Team Link Help Search Course Objectives Objectives are similar in graduate and undergraduate courses, but some differences apply since the graduate students will be Team Leaders. Each team will develop the objectives for their project that employ the research skills and scientific foundations. A key tool used in Teamwork and Management Procedures will be the use of technology, namely, MS Office 2000 and a team web site as a way to plan, record progress, and present the results of your project. The first part of the semester will be meetings in lecture and discussion format.
Students learn and practice skills and approaches to management and collaboration in a team.
Within two weeks, groups form and begin to create the teams that will function throughout the semester. Assignments and class activities create a structure for the first part of the class, and team decisions create the process with appropriate structure for the last part of the class. In lieu of examinations, each student will create a learning portfolio . Feedback from each observation in the OLR and informal feedback and discussion among each student and instructors and team leaders guide decisions, and thereby progress in the class. Management Procedures Grades and performance evaluations will not be impaired by mistakes and oversights, provided effective monitoring identifies the issues before a crisis is reached, and corrective action is taken.
