\r\nThe course grade will be based on the folowing components:\r\n\r\n

\r\n\tGRADING CRITERIA
\r\n\t
\r\n\tLead Discussion presentation (25%)
\r\n\tEach week, students will lead discussion in class. Lead discussants will choose topics and read readings for their discussion weeks. Lead discussants will prepare handouts with summary of the readings with critical key questions to be addressed for the whole class. This class will have 3~4 lead discussants per reading and each  discussant will be given 20-30 minutes.
\r\n\tLead discussants are expected to upload their handouts to IVLE at least 24 hours prior to class. All late submission of material will receive 30% of deduction in grade.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tStudents Participation (15%)
\r\n\tAll students, whether they are lead discussants or not, are expected to read all the assigned readings before class. Forum discussion is also counted as participation, though its weightage is different from that of in class participation.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tResearch Paper (20%)
\r\n\tStudents will write a research paper, presenting creative ideas and reasoning about a topic chosen from this module. The research paper should reflect the current, significant communication phenomena in organizations, address key issues, propose research questions/hypotheses, and outline the research plan (research methods and designs, data collection and analysis), and state the possible contribution of their paper to the academia or practitioner (or both). All late submission of material will receive 30% of deduction in grade.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tResearch Paper Presentation (5%)
\r\n\tStudents will present their paper to the class to exchange creative and critical comments about the topics and issues. Presenters must prepare powerpoint slides of their presentation to the class, 24 hours prior to their presentation.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tFinal Exam (35%)
\r\n\tFinal exam, open book exam, tests on the all topics and issues discussed during the class. Students should display their own understanding, interpretation, and application of the theories and principles from class to the exam questions.
\r\n\t
\r\n\t
\r\n\tStudents with special needs
\r\n\tAnyone who has conditions that require special arrangements (of any kinds) should contact me so that I can help accommodating his or her needs properly and timely.
