Organizations need a motivated, well-trained, and committed workforce in order to meet the challenges represented by a new economy, globalization, stakeholders, and high-performance work systems. The HRM profession and practices have undergone substantial change and redefinition during recent years. The course/textbook provides a valuable approach to teaching HRM by drawing from diverse research, teaching, and consulting experiences of four authors; by emphasizing how the HRM function, as well as management of human resources, can help companies gain a competitive advantage; by discussing current issues such as e-hrm, finding and keeping talented employees, diversity, and use of teams; by introducing and integrating throughout the text strategic HRM; and by providing examples of how new technologies are being used to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of HRM practices. OBJECTIVES Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Understand and utilize the appropriate human resource management (HRM) terminology. Explain the relationship between HR decisions and their impact on other organizational aspects. Apply theoretical knowledge to practical applications in the human resource area. Discuss impact of societal factors and government regulations on current practices in managing people. Utilize principles and concepts to determine possible solutions to class cases and exercises.

3 ATTENDANCE/PARTICIPATION POLICY It goes without saying (but I will anyway ) that college is all about learning. In order to maximize learning and create an enlightening, enriching, and enjoyable learning environment, it is important to be courteous to and respectful of yourself, your fellow students, and the instructor. As a result, it is necessary to refrain from activities that distract you and/or others from learning or that disrupt the flow of instruction. Attendance: Attendance relates to being in class, arriving on time, and staying to the end of each class session. Three attendance points are awarded for each class session (a session is defined as: Friday 6-9 p.m., Saturday 8- noon, and Saturday -5 p.m.), so a total of nine points for attendance is possible for each weekend. Attendance points may be reduced by half (½ points) per session when engaging in distracting/disruptive activities such as: arriving late, leaving early, using electronic devices (including but not limited to cell phones, laptops, etc.), completing other coursework, routinely leaving class, sleeping, using profanity, and possible other discretionary actions. Deliberate and/or repeated disregard of these expectations will likely result in the forfeiture of all extra credit points. Participation: Homework, in-class assignments, and certain classroom discussions receive a possible one, threequarter, half, quarter, or zero point. All assignments are to be turned in when collected and cannot be accepted if done in class or submitted late. Students are expected to read assigned material before the first class session of each weekend and to make meaningful contributions based on the reading and life experiences. Class sessions supplement reading the text and may involve case studies, discussions, self-assessments, videos, presentations, and other in-class activities that may not be textbook related. Extra-credit opportunities are generally provided. An individual s and/or team s failure to present (for any reason) on the scheduled presentation day likely will result in zero presentation points. Students are expected to attend and observe all presentations; an individual s failure to do so likely will result in deducted points to that student s own presentation grade. Exams cannot be taken after an exam is conducted in class and may be taken earlier only if a valid reason exists. Please keep in mind that any sign or impression of cheating on an exam (e.g., checking an electronic device, straying eyes, leaving classroom, etc.) even if cheating is not actually occurring will be grounds for taking the exam from the student, resulting in zero points.

4 LEWIS-CLARK STATE COLLEGE Syllabus Addendum Consumer Information In 28, the federal government required all post-secondary institutions offering federal financial aid programs to provide key data to both prospective and current students. To comply with this requirement, Lewis-Clark State College has developed a consumer information page, which may be accessed at Disability Accommodations Students requiring special accommodations or course adaptations due to a disability and/or a health-related issue should consult their course instructors and the LCSC Student Counseling Center immediately (RCH, ). Official documentation may be required in order to provide an accommodation and/or adaptation. Student Rights and Responsibilities Students have the responsibility for knowing their program requirements, course requirements, and other information associated with their enrollment at LCSC. Students should review the LCSC General Catalog ( and the LCSC Student Handbook ( ) for more information. Accidents/Student Insurance Students participating in LCSC classes normally must look to their personal health insurance policy (Student Health Insurance Plan or comparable private coverage) should an accident occur. In the event of an accident, please seek medical help, if necessary, and report the incident to LCSC Security ( ). Fieldtrips or other special student activities may also require students to submit a signed participation waiver (forms can be obtained from the supporting Division Office). Enrollment Verification/Attendance Students who are not actively pursuing their classes may have to repay part or all of their financial aid awards depending upon the circumstances. Academic Dishonesty Academic dishonesty, which includes cheating and plagiarism, is not tolerated at LCSC. Individual faculty members may impose their own policies and sanctions regarding academic dishonesty after offering the student an opportunity to explain his or her actions. Sanctions imposed by the faculty member are limited to grades on the assignment(s) in question and/or on the course grade. On matters of academic dishonesty, faculty members do not have the authority to dismiss a student from class indefinitely nor to disenroll a student from a program without corroboration from a Division Chair (or program ethics committee where applicable), the appropriate instructional dean, and the Vice President for Student Affairs. Students who are accused of being academically dishonest may be referred to the VP for Student Affairs for official disciplinary action. Illegal File Sharing Students using LCSC s computers and/or computer network must comply with the college s appropriate use policies and are prohibited from illegally downloading or sharing data files of any kind. Specific information about the college s technology policies and its protocols for combating illegal file sharing may be found on the VP for Student Affairs web page ( ). Diversity Vision Statement Regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, or sexual orientation, you will be treated and respected as a human being. Disclosures During this course, if you elect to discuss information with me which you consider to be sensitive or personal in nature and not to be shared with others, please state this clearly. Your confidentiality in these circumstances will be respected unless upholding that confidentiality could reasonably put you, other students, other members of the campus community, or me in danger. In those cases or when I am bound by law to report what you have told me, such as incidents involving sexual assault or other violent acts, I will submit a report to appropriate campus authorities. Student Feedback Students shall be provided the opportunity to formally evaluate each course in which they are enrolled. Notification of student feedback opportunity and timelines will be made through the official LCSC student (currently LCMail) or online course learning management (currently Blackboard Learn) systems. Student Work Student work for this course (assignments, quizzes, exams, projects, etc.) may be copied and retained for program assessment or accreditation purposes. For more information, speak with the instructor or division chair. Approved by VP for Student Affairs & Provost 7/7/25

The normal range for the contact hour totals for an individual CPC area is from approximately 3 to over in a semester program. In both cases, the assumption involves 45 class contact hours during a semester. This matrix is an excellent way to review the academic content of a degree program.
