We will also discuss the course focus, assignments, APA documentation and feedback challenges. Take time to look at the content under the Folders titled "APA Resources" and "Research Information and ODU Resources" . Both contain tutorials that will be very beneficial in this course and future courses. I highly recommend you attend all classes on time and actively participate in all discussions, and submit all your assignments in high quality format expected at graduate level and on time.

Readings: The syllabus and three articles listed below.

Friedrich,P. (2012). Feedback as a gift.T&D,66(1), 72-73.

Sadri,G., & Seto, S. (2011). Max performance feedback. Industrial Management, 2011.

Stone, D., & Heen, S. (2014). Difficult conversations 2.0: Thanks for the feedback. Rotman Management, Spring, 71-75.

Deliverables:

Essay #1: Write a 3-4 page essay about giving and receiving feedback using three articles listed above and your personal experience. Be sure to follow all format rules in the syllabus. Include a cover page and reference page in APA format. Cite your sources within your document. Your job here is to show me you can synthesize and cite three articles. There should be no doubt in my mind that you read and 'get' all three articles so offer content here. You are to write this as though the person reading it has never read these articles, and you should work to share the knowledge you have gained from reading with you
