Management of Human Resources (MBA 642)

New Announcements

Welcome to MBA 642 (Management of Human Resources)!

The class begins on Tuesday, March 15, 2011; the last day of class is Tuesday, May 3, 2011. Thus, the class meets for 8 weeks. Each week, the class will meet from 6:00 PM until 9:15 PM -- you should expect that we'll usually use all of that time.

We will be using Desire2Learn (D2L) this semester for some of the class activities: https://d2l.mnsu.edu/

Watch for announcements both on the course webpage in D2L and here (I might have to post announcements here instead of in D2L should there be problems with D2L). You should also monitor your e-mail. When I post new announcements here, any old announcements will be moved down to the section of this page that is titled Previous Announcements.
