Aims
PSYC 8004AEF aims to develop students' understanding of psychological influences on workplace behaviour and group dynamics. Students would benefit from the course's comprehensive coverage of essential topics in organisational psychology.
Contents
The course covers the following topics:
Learning support
Lectures and interactive discussion. Weekly lectures of total 26 hours are to achieve the learning outcomes of this one-semester course. Whilst lectures can impart the perspectives, concepts, theories and new research findings systematically to the students, students are encouraged to participate actively in class discussion to consolidate and critically evaluate the materials.
Online Learning Environment (OLE). OLE supports the students' learning via its resourceful library of lecture notes, supplementary readings and hyperlinks to useful websites. The Discussion Board therein also facilitates the communication among students and instructors about their ideas, reflections, difficulties and solutions.
Assessment
Course assessment is made by continuous assessment (50%) and final examination (50%). Students are required to submit assignments via the Online Learning Environment (OLE).
