TEACHING & LEARNING STRATEGIES
Pre-Class Preparation by Students
- Read Ch. 5
- Prepare 10 minute presentation, slide deck (10 or less slides), and project report (4-6 pages double space, 12 font, etc. not including cover and References) for Assignment #1 - Global HRM
- No extensions or late presentations are possible due to the nature of the class. If a group chooses not to present, they receive an automatic zero (0) for the presentation marks; however, they can still chose to submit the documentation for partial marks.
- On the day of the presentation, upload the slide deck and project report to Moodle.
- Late submission of Assignment #1 documentation (slide deck and project report) accrues the following late mark deductions.
- one (1) day late = 10% deduction
- two (2) days late = 20% deduction
- More than two (2) days late = Will not be accepted
