Welcome to Organizational Behaviour!
The flow of this course will use a mix of blended asynchronous (not live/real-time), and synchronous (live/real-time) learning activities. This course will have regular weekly assignments due, scheduled live blended class sessions (via web conferencing and physical sessions), weekly text discussions via the course discussion forums, as well as readings and course materials that each of student is required to keep on top of each week.
This is not a self-paced course. Each student must manage their own time each week, to know when assignments are due, and any other weekly course obligations, and all students move through the course together each week. This will involve regularly logging into the online learning systems to check forums, communications, monitor your email address and WhatsApp communications, and virtually interact with classmates, team members, instructors, and course materials.
At this point, the following are being suggested actions:
Begin to familiarize yourself with the eLearning Moodle Platform and the Alpha MIS site, which can be accessed here: https://moodle.ucu.ac.ug and https://alpha.ucu.ac.ug
Make sure to read the course syllabus, located on the Moodle page, and review the required or optional textbooks that may need to be downloaded, the scheduled live session dates/times, as well as assignment due dates, so you can plan your semester accordingly and get those dates in your professional calendar.
Read through the course outline, so you know the rhythm of course, and what is expected.
