  • 1.  Undergrad Managing Groups and Teams Course Syllabi

    Posted 09-29-2016 09:55

    I am developing a "Managing Groups and Teams" course to be taught to our business school undergraduates during the 2017 – 2018 academic year and beyond. It will be a required course in our "Talent Management" track and an elective course for all other students. Although it is primarily for our management students, students from across our business school and the rest of our university are free to enroll in the course as long as they have met the prerequisite (i.e., OB). The class size will be a maximum of approximately 20 students. If you have taught a similar course in the past few years (i.e., within the past three years), would you mind e-mailing me your course syllabus? I am considering integrating different learning methods within the course (e.g., discussion-based teaching, case studies, in class experiments, simulations, videos, guest speakers, etc.) and I would like to know what others have done in similar courses. Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello Kevin, 

    Poppy McLeod, Mary Waller, Lisa Schreiber, and I offered a workshop on Experiential Approaches to Teaching about Small Groups at the 2015 INGRoup conference. I am sharing the supplementary packet that we prepared for our participants (please see the attached file). 

    I have previously taught this course at graduate level. I am currently preparing to teach it at undergraduate level in my current school. So, I would love to learn about any structure and material that would work well at undergraduate level. 

    All the best, 
    Serena

    Kevin,

    There are a lot of good materials from http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/research/ktag/resources/index.htm

    I've used them at the undergrad level and the students seemed engaged and able to understand the concepts. There is a fee to use them, but it is nominal with a class your size.

    Best regards,
    Suzanne

    Dear,

     

    I have been teaching for years a 'teams and group dynamic course for master students'.

    Learning by doing is the very evident and natural way....with an emphasis on appreciation..... f.e. here a conference presentation about it:

     

    http://www.slideshare.net/2012waic/towards-a-generative-process-consulting

     

      

    Here some further suggestions to build a course with exercices:

     

    -a strong emphasis on experiential learning using class exercises with simultaneous observation and reflection: see f.e.

    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/242771368_Experiential_learning_in_teams

     

    -outdoor activities with observation and reflection: f.e.

    http://wilderdom.com/games/descriptions/GroupMandala.html

     

    -T-group training settings: giving and receiving feedback (may not directly appropriate for undergraduates), see f.e.

    http://www.ntl.org/?page=OriginsTGroupMethod

     

    Have a lot of fun and enriching experiences...

    Ciao.

    René Bouwen.
