PaneStephanie.Pane@tamuc.eduCBT 310By Appointment903-886-5686REQUIRED TEXT:Noe, R. A., Hollenbeck, J. R., Gerhart, B., & Wright, P. M. (2015). Human ResourceManagement: Gaining a Competitive Advantage (Ninth Edition). McGraw-Hill Irwin: NewYork. ISBN: 978-0-07-811276-8. New: 248.51; Used: 219.94*.*NOTE: These are Amazon.com prices.COURSE OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES:This course is designed to provide an analysis of current human resource management issues, emphasizing theirimpact on an organization’s success. Upon completion of this course, you should be able to: Identify current issues facing human resource management. Develop strategies for dealing with these issues. Examine emerging issues in human resource management and assess their potential impact onorganizations. Develop skills in solving human resource problems. Develop an understanding of the complex nature of human resource management problems.COURSE FORMAT:The majority of the course will be taught live, but some class sessions may be conducted online in the event thatthe instructor or guest lecturer becomes unavailable. The course will consist of lecture, class discussions, caseanalyses, and exercises. If a class session needs to be held online, I have set up a site on eCollege. The onlineportion will consist of exercises and/or chat sessions. Articles and any additional materials needed for this coursewill be posted under the “Doc Sharing” tab in eCollege.COURSE SCHEDULE:A course schedule is included at the end of this syllabus.SYLLABUS SUBJECT TO CHANGE STATEMENT:I anticipate that we will follow the schedule I've outlined in this syllabus, but I may make adjustments based on whatactually happens in class. Be sure to check with a classmate after an absence to see if assignments have changed.I may also change the basis for the course grade. If I do so, I will so inform you in writing. Remaining in the courseafter reading this syllabus will signal that you accept the possibility of changes and responsibility for being aware ofthem.CLASS ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION:Attendance and participation is critical to successful course completion. As such, you are to be prepared for class,attend each class, and complete all assignments. Attendance and participation comprise a percentage of your finalgrade. Regular and punctual attendance at all classes is a requirement for all courses. Punctual attendance at eachMGT 592 – Current Issues in HRM1

class period is an obligation of the student. If a class is missed, the student is responsible for completing any classwork that was missed and obtaining any lecture/discussion notes for the class. Class participation consists of, but isnot limited to involvement in class discussions, asking questions, sharing viewpoints and experiences, challengingstatements made by the professor or fellow classmates, participating in online chat sessions, having a goodattitude, and being courteous and civil. Failure to participate will result in a failing class participation grade.Disagreement and debate will help us all learn more, but please do it nicely.ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:All students are expected to act with civility and personal integrity; respect other students' dignity, rights, andproperty; and help create and maintain an environment in which all can succeed through the fruits of their ownefforts. An environment of academic integrity is requisite to respect for self and others and a civil community.Academic integrity includes a commitment to NOT engage in or tolerate acts of falsification, misrepresentation ordeception. Such acts of dishonesty include cheating or copying, plagiarizing, submitting another persons' work asone's own, using reference sources (including Internet sources) without citation, fabricating field data or citations,"ghosting" (taking or having another student take an exam), stealing examinations, tampering with the academicwork of another student, facilitating other students' acts of academic dishonesty, etc.Academic dishonesty violates the fundamental ethical principles of the University community and compromises theworth of work completed by others. A student should avoid academic dishonesty when preparing work for anyclass. If charged with academic dishonesty, students will receive written or oral notice of the charge by theprofessor. Depending on the severity and circumstances of the academic dishonesty, a student’s actions could leadto receiving zero credit for the assignment in question or failing the course.SPECIAL NEEDS/REASONABLE ACCOMODATIONS:The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civilrights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students withdisabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities.If you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact:Office of Student Disability Resources and ServicesTexas A&M University-CommerceGee Library—Room 132Phone (903) 886-5150 or (903) 886-5835Fax (903) uCOURSE POLICIES AND INSTRUCTOR EXPECTATIONS:Students are required to meet the expectations listed below.o Professional Class Behavior: It is important that you maintain a professional demeanor in class at all times.Texas A&M-Commerce expects this from you, as do current or future employers. The classroom is the perfectplace to practice interacting in a manner appropriate to a professional setting.o Regular and Timely Attendance and Participation: You are expected to attend class regularly and beprompt and fully prepared.o Assignments:1. Submitted assignments must be correctly formatted and free of grammatical and stylistic errors.Students in MGT 592 should have at least some skill with software for word processing, spreadsheets,databases, graphics, and presentations, and with web browsers and search engines. Spelling andgrammatical errors will detract from your grade!2. Assignments must be turned in on time. Assignments are due on the date listed, typically at thebeginning of the class period. I will accept late assignments; however, there will be a significant penalty.For each day that your assignment is late, I will deduct 10 POINTS from your grade. Saturdays andSundays count towards the total days late. Penalties for late work is common in the real world – If you areasked to submit a bid for a major contract at a specified date and time, your bid may not be accepted eventen minutes later than the deadline.MGT 592 – Current Issues in HRM2
