What are the strengths of this course? * This course really took into account the future of students and any plans they may have. This was not a normal course with just a boring lecture and forgettable test, it made its students think about what they want to do with their lives. * The professor is very good * Great mix of discussion, lecture, guest speakers, other media.

Even though it was a. hour class, it was never boring and he kept students attention the whole time. He chose out of class activities that were both pertinent to students majoring in HR and those who were not as well. It was definitely one of my favorite electives I have taken at BC. * HR Director of you assignments and paper, Strong Interest Inventory * The Self Assessment, HR Director of you, INC.

The best part was of it in my opinion was the HR Director of You paper that we had to complete for the end of the semester because it tied all the activities we did in the semester together and really made us think about our future endeavors. How could the instructor improve the course? * sometimes power-points were too long/drawn-out * None * Try to choose a room where its easy to have the students all facing forward rather than having students on the side. It becomes easier for participation. * More emphasis on the self assessment exercises. They really help. * Have more group activities during class, and maybe a group presentation instead of test(s). * n/a * No suggestions. * I would have liked to spend a little more time thinking/writing about current HR issues. * Nothing, course was great * Sometimes the slides were a little dry but I think that was more a product of the material * In class, small group conversations were a little ineffective. The big group discussions yielded more input from more people. * Nothing, I really found this course interesting and very useful. * Nothing * No changes MB-9S-tx - Course Detail Report of 6
* I think Professor Harrington could make the course a bit more challenging---maybe having the midterm more difficult rather than just lettting kids memorize the material. * more guest speakers. i really like the woman who spoke on compensation * get rid of the HR from a textbook and just make it a career development course * Not sure the class was / hours so the material got boring at times * Nothing i can think of- very good course. * It's not a particularly interesting subject, but he does a good job in keeping it fresh as is. * Try to get the slides out ahead of time, or even all at the beginning of the semester so that we have time to print them. * Make it shorter., * let us have computers in the class room * Make it more dynamic Would you recommend this course to other students, majors etc.?
