The format for the course will be a team format.  Each team will function as a human resources department for a large corporation.  Each class session teams will discuss, research, and write a case concluding with a solution to a current problem in HRM that will be assigned the prior class session by the instructor.  Teams will be expected to read assigned text chapters as well as conduct independent research in working up their cases.  Other research material includes other texts, articles, Internet sources, and any other legitimate source.

Class discussion and interaction with the instructor will be a large part of the class as will team interaction.  Contributions to teams are crucial.  All team members must significantly contribute to their teams. 

Students should read the text as quickly as possible since it will be a major resource for the course.
