BUS 146 - Fundamentals of Supervision
Course Description
This seminar examines the positions of manager/supervisor, and views the manager's functions as vital to the overall growth and effectiveness of the organization.

This seminar provides students with an overview of managing, as well as a positive way of evaluating and monitoring their own performance, productivity, and effectiveness. Lectures, discussions, role-playing, and case study activities will be used. Students will experiment with leadership approaches and receive feedback.
