This module considers practical issues with recourse to academic theory to give an appreciation of the skill of problem-solving for practising managers. Diversity is considered in terms of the impact of employment law and perceptual error. 1.Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LOs;Students attend a weekly 2-hour lecture and weekly 1 hour tutorial. The module outline is detailed so students can follow the module structure easily. The tutorials are vital in that student support is offered for the completion of both courseworks. All slides are on Moodle.2. Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skillsA practical stance is taken in that a problem-solving approach is taken to investigating and gaining evidence in relation to behavioural problems at work. Tutorials re-inforce some of the key issues via case studies and exercises.3. AssessmentTwo assignments are to be completed; and students must answer questions on all the specific topics taught. Both assignments are worth 50% of the total mark. There is no exam. Assignments are submitted in week 8 and week 13.4. Research/teaching linkagesCurrent issues are discussed, such as recent attitude change initiative campaigns in a tutorial setting.5. Supporting equality/diversityThese issues are a main focus of the course, which considers discrimination and minority groups. The module leader sits on the Equal Opportunities Committee at Napier, and is a Disability Contact.6. InternationalisationThe notion of how people may differ and how this may affect an individual's behaviour (e.g.cultural aspects) is discussed in the module.
