MGMT – WK 3_Assignm & Week 4 Discussion
Week 6 assignment starts from week 3 (MGMT – WK 3_Assignm). That means week 3 assignment is to prepare you for week 6 assignment which will be an oral presentation. For WK 3-Assignm. You had to select a book from “Selected Leadership Books.” Then, follow week 3 assignment instruction below:
Below is for “Week 3 Assignment”
“Assignment: Leadership Book Update
Learning Outcome: Formulate and assess the effectiveness of strategies and techniques leaders use to lead and manage change
In Week 1, you selected and obtained a book from the list provided by your instructor. Your final assignment is to read the book in its entirety and create an oral presentation on the book to share with your classmates during Week 6. Your task for this week is to spend time reading your book. In addition, by the end of the week, you will need to provide to your instructor a brief “Reading Week Update” as to your reading progress on your selected book.
This “Reading Week Update” is not a formal paper so you do not need to use APA formatting on this submission. A few paragraphs in a Word document will suffice: i.e. How far are you with your reading? Do you like the book? Are you able to make initial connections to our course material? Are you surprised by the content? Disappointed? And so on. The content is up to you – your instructor is just seeking an update.
Remember, much of your oral presentation grade in Week 6 will depend on how well you describe and explain the material in your own words and, even more important, how the book can be tied to the material we’ve covered thus far in our course. Your presentation must include at least two direct comparisons between your book and articles from our Course Pack.”
===================================================================
This week you will select and obtain a book from the Selected Leadership Books.
Please, find the book from the “Selected Leader Books.” Link below which is for (MGMT – WK 3_Assignm): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uIWqXhqIGlN1UgXonWKXUjKtVdvUkuA1CFrBdCqy3wc/edit
It is not necessary to inform your instructor of your book. Your assignment is to read the book in its entirety. You will provide your instructor updates as to your progress in subsequent weeks.
After you read your selected book, you are to create an oral book presentation, much like a TedTalk style presentation and persuade your classmates to read the book.
When reading the book, focus on the following topics:
- What is the book’s main argument?
- Who seems to be the intended audience for the book?
- How is the book structured?
- Does the structure of the book (its various parts and chapters) reinforce its larger argument? How?
- What kinds of sources, or examples, does the book offer in support of its argument, and which are most (and least) effective? Why?
- How would you position the book in relation to our other reading assignments this term?
- Does the author seem biased or prejudiced in any way and, if so, is that prejudice or bias the product of the author’s own background, as far as you can tell?
- How persuasive is the book (if certain aspects are more persuasive than others, explain why).
Your review should have two goals: first, to inform the reader about the content of the book, and second, to provide an evaluation that gives your judgment of the book’s quality. Incorporate the elements of the list above into a professional, scholarly book review presentation for your peers to view. Do not spend more than one-third of the presentation summarizing the book. The presentation should not be a chapter-by chapter summary.
The summary should consist of a discussion and highlights of the major arguments, features, trends, concepts, themes, ideas, and characteristics of the book.
Much of your grade will depend on how well you describe and explain the material in your own words and, even more important, how the book can be tied to the material we’ve covered thus far in our course. Your presentation must include at least two direct comparisons between your book and peer-reviewed articles,
if appropriate.
There are specific directions under the Week 6 folder in the Weekly Materials area of the course. My advice – do NOT wait until the end because I will know from the caliber of your presentation and you will NOT like your grade. Do a little each week so you’ll be ready by the end of Week 5 so you can record in week 6.
