Aloha,
Welcome to the MHRM and our introductory residence weekend. Over the residence period we hope to accomplish the following:
We will spend time in and outside of class getting to know each other both individually as well as members of working teams.
Our residence sessions will focus on the internal management of organizations and the management of our human resources and some of the external forces that affect them.
In order to prepare for this intensive weekend of work you are encouraged to:
Read the course syllabus. You may want to bring a hard copy to the first day of class.
There is substantial reading associated with the classes to be covered during the residence weekend. You should try to at least scan the relevant chapters in the text for the classes before the residence. It will be helpful to scan some of the early required readings before the residence to minimize the workload during the residence.
In brief, prepare as much as possible for time will be scarce during the residence. The focus should be on gaining a basic understanding of the topics to be covered, and NOT on trying to memorize all of the concepts that will be discussed. This will enhance your learning and reduce the strain on you during the residence weekend.
I am looking forward to our time together.
