To help you make the concepts in this course real you will write a Personal Situation Analysis
(PSA) over the course of the semester. Your write-up will be 2 pages, double spaced, 12 pt. font,
1-inch margins (500-700 words). You will choose an event or situation that is occurring in an
organization or, more preferably a team that you are part of (you may disguise the names if you
wish). You will describe the situation and apply concepts from the course to help you
understand, diagnose, and solve/improve the situation. A rubric or content guideline will be
provided at the beginning of the semester. One of the most important points here is that you
identify, define, and apply course concepts which are specific ideas or theories that show up in
videos or readings. They are not the topic for a week, but rather, much smaller bites that occur
within a week.
Problem/issue is identified and described succinctly
identified
topics with several sub-concepts introduced
concepts; concepts are applied to analyze the situation and explain to
the reader something that would not be known without knowledge of
the course concepts. Analysis is in-depth and insightful.
