What BUSI 444 covers
Noe's Employee Training and Development is read about a chapter a week, with short cases from the Nkomo et al. casebook on human resource management and three open-book reading quizzes of ten questions each.
Case studies require two scholarly references published within the past five years in addition to the textbooks, a recency rule that catches many students. The Training Project in Module/Week 6 develops the topic chosen in Module/Week 2 into a one- to two-page lesson plan and a five- to seven-page paper with five scholarly references.
This course focuses on the design, implementation, and management of employee orientation, career development, and training programs. Human resource development issues examined include strategic training, needs assessment, theories, program design, evaluation, and training methods as well as career management.

Where BUSI 444 papers lose points
BUSI 444 work loses points when case study references are older than five years, when forum posts run outside their word ranges, when learning objectives lack conditions and criteria, and when a training project designs a course without a needs assessment, a transfer plan or an evaluation plan. The strongest projects tie every module of the proposed course back to a gap the needs assessment found and to a measure the evaluation will track.
Using a BUSI 444 sample well
The samples draw on research about training effectiveness, the science of training, transfer of training, training motivation, workplace coaching, microlearning, augmented reality training, training criteria, trainee reactions, behavior modeling, error management, leadership training, web-based instruction and mentoring, with Noe's textbook and Scripture.
