Course Description:
This course examines the behavior of people in organizations, including individuals, as well as teams.
Understanding the behavior of humans in organizations is essential in establishing and improving
organizational efficiency and effectiveness. This course aims to provide students with a better
understanding of themselves, as well as others in their organization. It also seeks to provide you with an
opportunity to expand the way that you think about and analyze behaviors of others and yourself in
organizations with the goal of becoming a more effective employee, manager, and contributing member of
an organization.
Please note that this is not a self-paced, correspondence course. Like any other course, there are specific
requirements, activities and deliverables that must be completed and submitted at specific times
throughout the semester.

Announcements / Communication:
The Announcements section provides official d announcements by the instructor. Since Announcements is
an "official site" within Canvas and part of the course, you are responsible for knowing the information
there. As always, the instructor accepts and replies to regular (off-Canvas) e-mail

Emails to the class will be sent through Canvas. The default email address in the notification system is
your UNT account. Please change your email address to ensure that you receive all class communications.
