Emotions and moods

1. Select one of the following topics. This should be a topic that you might be interested in.

Attitudes (job related) Emotions and moods Emotional Intelligence

Personality Values Workplace ethics

Individual perceptions Charismatic leadership Workplace diversity

Sexual harassment Transformational leadership Workplace disabilities Perception (Cannot use Rory Sutherland video)

1. Read up on the topic in the book (use index in the back of the book – topic might be found in multiple locations).
2. Go to You Tube and research applicable videos on your topic.
3. Select 2 appropriate and applicable You Tube Videos that you feel would tie in well to the course material. By applicable, I mean one that could be used as part of a class that would readily explain and illustrate your concept. Each video should be no shorter than 3 or so minutes and no longer than 10 - 15 minutes (I am allowing you with discretion here, especially on the high end).
4. Project output

Part I – Write up a two page summary (minimum) of the material in the book related to your topic. Formatting instructions: Each will be keyboarded using Times-New Roman, 12-pitch font with one-inch margins. Single space within the lines of a paragraph, double space between each paragraph. If you cannot come up with two full pages from the book content, you may pull in outside sources to supplement the text. Just make sure you site it as a reference!

Part 2 – Write up a good summary paragraph of each of the two videos. Make sure you include how much time the video takes up (should be no more than around 10 – 15 minutes, ideally). Make sure you include a hyperlink to each video. Your summary paragraph should briefly state what the video is about and why you think it is so good/applicable to the topic you have selected. A good summary paragraph should be in the neighborhood of ¾ - 1 full page.

Same as video 1

The project appearance is lacking or it appears little effort went into putting it together. Also, failed to follow instructions.

Professor may also assign points = 2 or 4 points and may also use tenths of a point. For example, 2.5, 3.5, etc.
