Organizational Behavior, 7th edition. Irwin McGraw-Hill, United States of America. - You must use the 7th edition of the textbook.- This textbook is required and important for tests.4 Exams (64%): Each test is 16% of grade and will consist of 72 multiple choice questions. You will have a pre-determined Testing-Window (see testing schedule) to take an exam. You must schedule with the Online-Testing Center (OTC) to take your exams during the testing window and during the OTC’s open hours. An assigned test will not be available after the last day of the testing-window. If you have a conflict with scheduled test dates, you maytake the test earlier than the scheduled test dates. If there is a need to take an exam earlier than the associated exam testing-window, please contact me via a phone call or text message (314-578-7514) and then send me a follow-up email.Scheduling your Exam: Please schedule early! There are limited spaces in the OTC and the appointments fill-up fast. To schedule a test taking appointment, use the OTC Online Appointment Scheduling System; a link to this website is in your course folder on MyGateway. You can logon to this system using your SSO ID and password. You will receive an email confirmation of your appointment, and a notice will be entered into your MyGateway calendar. If you have difficulty using the Online Appointment Scheduling System, you can contact the OTC by email [email protected]. You must be sure to provide the necessary information: Gateway ID, name, class, class number, test number, date, and time. If scheduling an appointment by email, you should review the OTC schedule to insure they request appointments during opening hours (when you use the online system for making an appointment you will only be able to schedule an exam during opening hours). Also, if scheduling an appointment by email, you should insure you request a time that will allow sufficient time to complete the exams (the online system automatically schedules a time slot based on the time limit set for the exam by the instructor). You will not be allowed to finish tests past the closing time of the OTC. OTC Location: The OTC is located in room 94 (formerly 75) J.C. Penny Building Conference Center (Building 2 on the North Campus Map)Books, papers, cell phones, and pagers are not allowed in the testing room. You should leave these items at home or check them with the proctor prior to taking a test. You should not bring children to the OTC. Children are not allowed in the testing room, and cannot stay unattended at the center.3 Individual Case Studies: (12% per case study for a total of 36%) 3 case study write-ups (12% each) will count for 36% of your grade.

All case studies are to be emailed in PDF file format to [email protected] by 11:59pm of the due date. Instructor/Student Communication: I encourage all students to contact me if there are any issues regarding the class, semester, etc. Here are a few rules/guidelines to optimize communication:1) Email:a. You must list the course and section (for ex: MGMT3600 online). If you are emailing me regarding an assignment, put the assignment title in the subject lineb. You must save a copy of the email in your Sent Files, in case I don’t receive it. If I don’t have a copy, I will ONLY accept you sending the copy stored in your Send files. This is especially important if you are sending me an assignment. Most assignments, however, will not be accepted via email. c. Do not put questions or inquiries into an email with an assignment; rather send a separate email, with the course number (MGMT 3600 online) and the term “question” in the subject line.2) Phone Callsa. Call me via Cell Phone (314-578-7514).b. I turn my cell to quiet after 9pm – so leave a message – and I really don’t like late phone calls (emergencies are the exception). But I am often on the computer late at night and have no problem returning emails late at night.c. If I don’t answer the phone, please leave a message with your return phone number and the reason why you are calling. Hint: Often I just can’t answer the phone fast enough before it goes to voice mail, so try calling me again. If I don’t answer the phone on your 2nd call – please leave amessage with your return phone number and the reason why you are calling.3) Returning your emails/phone calls:I will do my best to return your phone call/email with in 36 hours. If I haven’t, please call or email me again.4) Face-to-Face: Since this is an online class, face-to-face meeting are by appointmentCovered Material:Exam 1 February 10-14, 2015 (in the ONLINE-TESTING CENTER)Chpt 1: Introduction to the Field of Organizational Behavior Chpt 2: Individual Behavior, Personality, and ValuesChpt 3: Perceiving Ourselves and Others in OrganizationsChpt 4: Workplace Emotions, Attitudes, and StressExam 2 March 3-7, 2015 (in the ONLINE-TESTING CENTER)Chpt 5: Foundations of Employee MotivationChpt 6: Applied Performance PracticesChpt 7: Decision-Making and CreativityChpt 8: Team DynamicsExam 3 April 7-11, 2015 (in the ONLINE-TESTING CENTER)Chpt 9: Communicating in Teams and OrganizationsChpt 10: Power and Influence in the WorkplaceChpt 11: Conflict and Negotiation in the Workplace Chpt 12: Leadership in Organizational Settings (1st half)Exam 4 May 5-9, 2015 (in the ONLINE-TESTING CENTER)Chpt 12: Leadership in Organizational Settings (2nd half)Chpt 13: Designing Organizational StructureChpt 14: Organizational Culture Chpt 15: Organizational Change- Spring Break – 3/24/2015: No Class- Case Study #1 – Monday, March 2, 2015/ Emailed to [email protected] by
