What is the good of drawing up, on
paper, rules for social behavior, if we know that, in fact, our greed,
cowardice, ill temper, and self-conceit are going to prevent us from keeping
them?.
- C. S. Lewis
I. Course Description:
This
course focuses on the study of human resource management for professional
preparation. This course will focus on manpower planning, recruiting,
selection, placement, and performance evaluation with particular emphasis on
the impact of federal regulation on these key HR functions.
II. Class
Meetings:
This
class will meet in Holman Hall, Room 39 from 8:00 to 9:15 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays. Please see the tentative schedule for the
exact meeting dates, topics, assignments, and material to be covered.
III. Objectives:
A. To introduce
the HR manager's legal responsibilities in the procurement of human resources.
B. To develop a
basic understanding of the challenges confronting HR managers in formulating
and implementing strategies and policies to enable the organization to attain a
sustained competitive advantage.
C. To acquaint
the student with the growing body of legislation, federal regulation, and case
law which govern personnel practices.
D. To improve the
student's critical reasoning abilities to interpret and understand the legal
requirements that HR managers must meet in order to comply with equal
employment opportunity, wage & hour, safety, and other statutes and
regulations governing workplace behavior.
E. To develop a
framework of analysis to enable the student to identify central issues and
problems in personnel activities.
F. To develop the
student's sense of punctuality and personal accountability in meeting
deadlines.
G. The material
in this course will be analyzed and presented from the perspective that the
Human Resource professional is the
employer’s representative and is , therefore, responsible for protecting the
employer’s interests and reducing the employer’s exposure to litigation through
monitoring activities and policies.
IV.
Teaching
Methods:
Course objectives will be accomplished through the
discussion of the text, assigned readings, lecture, video tapes, case analysis,
presentations, and examinations.
V.
Prerequisites:
Students who have not successfully completed the below
listed prerequisites will NOT be
permitted to enroll in, or complete for credit, Mgmt 582:
A. A grade of
"C" or better in Mgmt
383, Human Resource Management.
B. Senior
standing (> 87 semester hours).
VI. Implementation:
A. Texts:
1.
Robinson, R. K., Franklin, G. M., and Wayland, R. F. (pending). Draft of
Employment Regulation in the Workplace:
Basic Compliance for Managers. Under
contract with M. E. Sharpe Publishers. Available
as a course packet at Printing & Graphic Services, Sam Hall,
B. Examinations:
1. There will be two (2) examinations and a comprehensive final examination
which will cover the text, lecture, and class discussion.
2. The instructor
reserves the right to conduct "pop tests" when deemed necessary. When used, pop quiz scores will be used in
assessing participation grades and will be taken from the 25 points allocated
for participation.
C. Grading:
1. The following
demonstrates the weight given to each course requirement(s):
Percentage of
Course
Requirements Possible Points Total Grade
a. Examinations 200 44.4%
b. Final 150 33.3%
c. Book Report (Individual) 75 16.7%
d. Meaningful participation 25 5.6%
450 100.0%
2. There are no
provisions for "extra credit" assignments in this course. Additionally, no partial credit is given for
incorrect answers on examinations. A
business decision based on erroneous information is always wrong.
3. Each student will select and read two (2) books: one listed in column 1
and the other from column 2 in Appendix B. The student will then write a brief
book report (6-10 pages). The report
will consist of three headings: (1) This first will be a brief synopsis of the two
books and the arguments presented by its authors; (2) the second will consist
of the student’s opinion which book made the more convincing argument; and (3) finally,
what the student thought the authors could have done to make his or her arguments
more convincing.
4. Book reports
will be word processed using Times New
Roman 12 pt font and double-spaced with
1" margins. All reports will include a cover sheet with
the title of the two books, their authors, the student's name, and the
date. The report will be stapled (no binders) in the upper left hand
corner.
5. As potential
college graduates, you are expected to convey written information in a clear
and understandable manner. If the
professor cannot understand any portion of a written assignment, the student
will not receive any credit for that portion.
6. Additionally, 50% of any written assignment's grade will be dependent upon
proper grammar usage and compliance with prescribed formats. Margaret Shertzer's Elements of Grammar will be used as the arbiter in all decisions on
this subject. Examples of some of the more common errors are as follows:
a.
Verb-subject agreement.
b.
Verb-tense agreement.
c.
Noun-pronoun agreement.
d.
The improper use of commas.
e.
The omission of articles.
f.
Improper punctuation.
g. The use of slang in formal writing.
h. Misspelled words.
i. Ending sentences with a preposition.
j. Do not use contractions in your paper.
7.
Do not use contractions
in your paper.
8. All references will be annotated in APA
style. Legal references must conform to A
Uniform System of Citation.
9. Meaningful Participation: Merely regularly attending class only merits
75% of the participation grade; the remaining 25% is dependent upon the
student's contribution to the class. It is the quality, and not the quantity,
of a student's comments that determines his or her eligibility for this
remaining 25%--merely opening ones mouth in class is not, of and by itself,
sufficient. The professor is the final judge as to what is deemed a meaningful
contribution and what is not. The
following are examples of comments which could be considered to be meaningful
(this list is by no means exhaustive):
a.
Identifying a key factor affecting a case.
b.
Providing an example which clarifies some point or concept offered in
the text or reading.
c.
Offering a viable alternative strategy.
d.
Providing an update of the status of the subject under study.
Factors
which adversely affect participation grades are as follows:
a.
Avoiding discussion.
b.
Excessive unexcused absences.
c.
Not accurately answering questions posed by the instructor.
d.
Failure to demonstrate adequate knowledge of course material (questions
on pop quizzes).
e.
Failure to read the assigned material.
10. Exam
Administration:
a.
Students
who arrive late for exams will not be permit to take them.
b.
All exams are closed-book; students are expected to do their own work.
c.
Students will not be allowed to wear hats, caps, or visors during exams.
d.
The only materials that a student must bring for an exam are two bluebooks, a calculator, and a
writing instrument (pencil or pen).
e. Make-up Examinations: Only students who miss a regularly scheduled
exam for a VALID reason (as determined by the professor) will be allowed to
make-up the exam. Make-up exams will be
scheduled on the same date as the final.
11.
Final course grades will be computed based upon the following ranges of
cumulative points out of 450
possible points:
Course
Grade
A 405-450
B 360-404
C 315-459
D
270-314
F < 269
D. Graduate
Student Requirements: In addition to the aforementioned course
requirements, graduate students will also write a research paper (approved by
the professor) related to strategic human resource planning. The written assignment will not be less than
15 pages in length, not including title page and bibliography.
1.
Research papers will be type written (letter quality) and double-spaced. All assignments will be stapled (no binders)
in the upper left hand corner.
2. As
potential college graduates, you are expected to convey written information in
a clear and understandable manner. If
the professor cannot understand any portion of a written assignment, the
student will not receive any credit for that portion.

Additionally, 50% of any written assignment's grade will be
dependent upon proper grammar usage and compliance with prescribed

VII. Course
Policies:
A. Attendance - attendance will be taken at all
schedule class meetings; your attendance is expected.
1. Students must attend the first meeting of this course, unless they obtain prior approval from
the instructor. With out such approval,
a student who is absent from the first class may be dropped from the rolls by
the dean of the
2. You,
the student, are absolutely responsible for your attendance and being to class on time--especially on
dates when examinations or other course requirements are scheduled. Students arriving late for class after roll
is taken will be counted as absent. Students departing class before the
instructor has concluded it will be counted as absent, to include leaving and
returning during the lecture. Each penalty will remove five (5) raw
points from the student's participation grade.
3. Attendance
on Examinations: If a student
is absent without a valid excuse (as determined by the professor) he, or she,
will not be permitted to make up any missed material (to include examinations
and cases). Simply stated, if a student
is absent for unexcused reason on the date that an examination, a presentation,
or a pop quiz is given, that student will receive a grade of zero (0) for that work.
4.
You should notify your professor before any scheduled requirement when
you cannot be present for a valid reason.
5. Absence
Documentation: It is the
student's responsibility to provide documentation to verify the legitimacy of
an excuse for absence. In the case of
illness or injury, the student is expected to provide a copy of a physician's
sick slip, hospital admissions record, or a similar document upon the student's
return to class. Verification of
nonillness-related reasons will be determined by the instructor.
B. Late
Papers: Assignments are given
well in advance of the due date to allow sufficient time for their
preparation. Any paper will be accepted
early, but NO PAPER WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THE TIME
AND DATE ON WHICH IT IS DUE! Please note that ALL papers are due at the BEGINNING of class on the date specified in the tentative schedule (unless
that date has been changed by the professor).
Students are strongly encouraged to plan their time wisely and not wait
to the last minute.
C. Other Polices:
1. Make Up Exams: All make up examinations (for approved
excused absences) will be scheduled during the final examination (December
7). Again, there are no make ups for unexcused
absences.
2. Partial
Credit: In business, a wrong
answer, regardless of how proper its calculation will result in a poor/wrong
decision. Therefore, no credit is given
for wrong answers.
3. Appeals:
Students who miss questions on exams may appeal any question they
miss. An appeal must take the form of a
written explanation as to why the student should receive credit for his or her
answer. Two criteria are used in
considering appeals: (1) The
explanation/argument must be logical and consistent, and (2) accurate knowledge
of course material must be demonstrated.
All appeals are due no later than
the class period following the return of the examination in question. No appeals will be accepted after the
beginning of that class period. For
example, if Exam I was returned to the student on Monday (September 28), no
appeal would be accepted after the beginning of the class on Wednesday (September
30). Appeals are evaluated individually,
only those students whose appeals are accepted will receive credit for missed
answers.
4. Children in the Classroom: In recent years there has arisen the problem
of parents bringing their children to lectures, and even to examinations. This has resulted in distractions to other
students and ensuing complaints. I do
not wish to sound mean-spirited, but parents are requested to please make
accommodations for child care else where and not bring children to class.
5. Cellular Phones: During classes and examinations please turn cellular
phones off as they provide a distraction to the other students. This
includes no text messaging.
6. No Lap Top Computers:
There are no exercises in this class requiring computer or Internet
access during the lecture.
7. Classroom Conduct: Students are expected to arrive
punctually for class. This is a habit
that you need to develop before entering the business community. Additionally, due to the controversial nature
of some of the material addressed in this class, I expect all class discussions
to be conducted in a professional and civil manner. I will not tolerate profanity or ad hominem attacks during any discussion
of any topic.
8. Academic
Dishonesty and Cheating: Academic dishonesty refers to the use of unauthorized books,
notes, or otherwise securing help on a test, copying tests, assignments,
reports, or term papers. Any student
caught engaging in any form of academic dishonesty will receive a failing grade
for the semester in this course--NO EXCEPTIONS!
The following are considered serious breaches
of academic dishonesty for which severe penalties may be imposed:
a.
Obtaining unauthorized information.
(1). Copying part or all of a graded homework
assignment from another student.
(2). Working together on a take-home test or
an assignment when not specifically permitted to do so by the instructor.
(3). Looking on another student's paper during
an exam.
(4). Looking at your notes, or anyone else's
notes, during an examination when not specifically permitted to do so.
b.
Tendering of information.
(1). Giving your work to another student to be
copied.
(2). Giving someone answers to exam questions
while the exam is being given.
(3). After having taken an exam, informing
another person in a later section of the questions that appear on the exam.
(4). Giving or selling exams to other
students.
(5). Giving or selling term papers, cases, or
other assignments to another student.
c.
Plagiarism--representing
someone else's work as your own.
(1). Handing in a paper purchased from a term
paper service.
(2). Retyping part or all of a friend's paper
and handing it in as your own.
(3). Taking a paper from any file and handing
it in as your own.
(4). Quoting from another source on a term
paper or an assignment without citing the source.
d.
Collusion.
(1). Acting in concert with one or more fellow
students to commit any form of academic dishonesty together.
(2). Giving your term paper, homework, case,
or other assignment to any other student.
(3). Making unauthorized grade changes or
tampering with grades in any way.
(4).
Encouraging or recruiting
any other person to commit any form of academic dishonesty.
(5). Giving or receiving information when not
specifically authorized to do so.
e.
Misrepresentation.
(1). Having another student do your class
work.
(2). Having someone else take an exam for you.
(3). Lying to a professor to increase your
grade.
f.
Bribery--Offering money
or any item or any service to any other person so as to gain academic advantage
for yourself or any other student.
Academic honesty is an important standard
of every academic institution and is expected of every student in this class. As academic dishonesty is also a crime
against the university, violators will be referred to the Dean of the
The
9. Weather
Conditions: If Ole Miss is
closed for weather, any assignment scheduled for that date will be due at the
beginning of the next class meeting thereafter.
If an examination is scheduled on a date in which the University is
closed, then that examination will be given on the next class meeting
thereafter.
10. Students
with Disabilities: Any
student who feels that he or she needs an accommodation due to any disability,
please make an appointment to discuss this matter with me during the first week
of the Fall semester.
