Your instructor will assign you (or your group) to one of the methods from the chapter. Contact the HRD department of a local business. Indicate that you are learning about training and would like to know whether the department uses the method in its training programs. If so, ask if you can schedule a time to observe the method being used. If the method isn’t used or if you are unable to observe it, try other companies until you are successful.

While observing the method, take careful notes on how it is used. On a date specified by your instructor, the class members will report their observations.
