LDRV 305:

OrG Behavior

▴

Welcome to LDRV 305!

The goal of the course is to provide you with an understanding of the effects that an organizational system has on the behavior choices of human beings in the work environment.

This is a fully online 7.5 week class with two mandatory live sessions where we meet at the same time online. (Refer to the D2L homepage for dates and times.) FYI: You can review student ratings of this course by going to this link and looking up the ASUA Reports.

This course contains the same content and curriculum as the traditional 16-week LDRV 305 course, but it's delivered in an accelerated format.

I understand that online classes -- especially accelerated online classes -- can be very intimidating. With this in mind, I've broken down the class into manageable pieces so you have a solid understanding of where to find your lessons, your assignments, grades, etc.

Lessons can be found on the website you're currently on.
Assignments and other for-credit deliverables can be found in the Checklists in D2L.

About this Class

This course has a routine, just like a fully face-to-face course, where you will work through lessons with readings and assignments both on your own and with others. Each week is divided into two sections:

Lesson Assignments are almost always due on Thursdays and Sundays by 11:59 p.m.
Exception: The final week of class due dates may be different - pay attention to the calendar!

All quizzes and assignments are open now, meaning you have until the assignment deadline to turn them in. PLEASE NOTE: I typically don't grade assignments prior to the assignment due date. This helps with maintaining impartiality when I grade assignments. It also helps me identify when an assignment isn't working the way I intended!
