Selected topics dealing with the effect of federal legislation on the utilization of human resources will be reviewed. Students are encouraged to ask questions and initiate discussion of relevant topics and problems. Demonstrations, movies, and incidents will be used to emphasize certain elements of the course. The instructor will be available by appointment, to students who feel they need individual attention in solving problems regarding the course materials. Students are required to read the textbook chapters ahead of the class periods for which the individual chapters are assigned.
Students are responsible for being prepared for questions on the topic of the day.
Written assignments will be made corresponding to specific chapters. A critique for an academic human resource article, self-evaluation instruments, and experiential exercises will also be assigned. One midterm exam and one final examination are required for all students. The provisional dates for these are indicated in the chronological outline. No student will be excused from any of the formal examination requirements.
