Fifteen percent of the grade for this class will come from a report that displays your understanding of organization cultures
We often do not realize what we have learned until after due deliberation. Writing a module report provides you an opportunity to reflect on the readings and lectures, and reading the reports you write provides me a chance to assess to what extent you have met the learning objectives.
Discuss the organizational culture of an organization you are familiar with, in terms of this section's readings and discussions. As a group, decide on one organization and use it as an example for the discussion.
This task should be done by your group and your group should turn in a single product that reflects the agreed position of your group.
To accomplish this task, you may submit a direct response in the Sakai assignments space with the rough equivalent of a 2-5 page paper.
Alternatively, you may attach (or place a link to) a document, a PowerPoint presentation, a Prezi presentation, or anything else that you choose to use to answer the questionsm in the Sakai assignments space.
| Grade | What it means | A description of what it means |
|---|---|---|
| A | Mastery in understanding the organizational perspective in terms of culture, structure, and leadership at the highest level of attainment that can reasonably be expected | Well written with no grammatical errors, well-articulated discussion of the topic; it shows evidence of your having absorbed all of the key points of the organizational module, and that you described them in such quality that one could expect you to teach the module |
| A- | A totally acceptable performance demonstrating an adequate level of Understanding Organizational Cultures in these three contexts | An insightful discussion of the topic, with no grammatical errors. It is extremely good, but leaves the reader feeling that your understanding of the issues is perhaps a bit less than professionally sophisticated, in terms of depth of analysis. |
| B+ | Really good, but perhaps a bit shallower in terms of your understanding one or more of the contexts; you may have a few grammatical issues in your writing; you may not have used relevant examples to explain your points; you may not have fully addressed all the elements requested | |
| B | Good, but perhaps a bit shallower in terms of your understanding several variants of the three contexts; you may have several grammatical issues in your writing; you may not have used relevant examples to explain your points; you may not have fully addressed all the elements requested; you did not use terminology that we discussed in the module sessions | |
| B- | Good, but not as good as it could have been; you may not have fully addressed all the elements requested | |
| C+ | A marginal performance. | OK, in terms of grasping the essentials, but not good in terms of articulating your understanding in a manner that is easy to read and appreciate |
| C | You seem to understand the essential points of the module, but you did not articulate your understanding well enough to do more than the minimum | |
| C- | It's time to start wondering if you missed something important, if you misunderstood the task, if you did not understand the key elements | |
| D+ | This is a warning that you are not currently on the right path; you might need to have a discussion with the instructor about this performance | |
| D | There are indications that you were present and that you sort of grasped what we had discussed, but missed the key points to such a degree that you really need to re-group and catch up | |
| F | For whatever reasons, an unacceptable performance | If it's unacceptable, it is unacceptable; it should be as obvious to you as it is to the instructor |
