無

Course Requirements:

1.     Class participation including attend 90% of the lessons and record 2 lessons.

2.     Finish a research plan including research questions, literature review, and research method planning.

       The review of paper should contain two parts:

  a. Summary (What it says!)

 b. Comment (What you think!)

      And each part should contain three sections:

 (1) Research Questions- Background, Motivation, Questions, Positioning

 (2) Research Methods- Qualitative exploration, or/and Quantitative examination

 (3) Results and Answers – Analysis, Discussion, Conclusions, Suggestions

Evaluation:

1.     Class participation 50%

2.     Research planning paper 50%

上課以討論為主，強調課前的預習及上課參與。A1代表教科書A的第1章，R1代表第一本參考書，教科書C勢必要買， 參考書只用其部分章節、可以借用。

上課參與是以課前的預習為基礎，每個人在每次上課前要繳交預習報告（心得及問題，1頁）。學期中要在「做中學」，針對在期初所選擇的AOM學術領域及期刊，找出一篇想要學習的期刊論文範本，並提出要進一步研究的問題，期末時寫成研究計畫報告。所以，上課參與也包括各個階段中完成期末報告的進度。

老師的上課內容要選擇2次來記錄（Word）（以錄音為準），上課完一週後繳交。

所有作業都上傳至本課程之Dropbox。

論文範本的報告分兩部分：

? 摘要：Summary (What it says!) 如實地呈現作者在論文中所說的內容。

? 評論：Comment (What you think!) 提出你的解讀、意見、批判及建議。

摘要與評論論文範本都要針對以下三點：

? 研究問題：Problem─背景/動機/脈絡/定位

? 研究方法：Method─探索/驗證/量化/質化

? 研究答案：Answer─結果（統計數據/個人或企業案例）

─分析/討論

─結論/意涵/建議

評量方式如下：

上課參與（發言、預習） 30%

上課記錄 20%

期末報告 50%
