Skill Builder Ideas and Answers Chapter 1: Management and Its History Skill Builder 1-1: Getting to Know You Introduction Note: Before doing this exercise, decide if you will use permanent class groups for all exercises. Use of permanent groups was discussed in the introduction to the Instructor’s Manual. If you elect to use permanent groups but have students add or drop the course, you may want to wait a few classes before setting up the groups. You can do this exercise after finishing Chapter 1 or before starting. I recommend doing this exercise so students can get to know you a little better as a person. Since students don’t usually buy the book before the first class, I just read the exercise to them and write the three question categories on the board during Procedure 3. Total Time (up to 50 minutes) Times will vary with class size. Select a time limit and allot times for each procedure. Below is a sample time schedule for a 30-minute period. Recommended approximate time for a 30-minute period: (Remember: Your class may need more or less time for each procedure.)
8:00: Procedure 1, 6 minutes 8:06: Procedure 2, 6 minutes 8:12: Procedure 3, 6 minutes
(I tell students they do not have to have all three types of questions but to focus on what they want to know.)
8:18: Procedure 4, 12 minutes 8:30: Finish
(I take only one question from a group and go to all groups for Question 1. Then I do the same for Questions 2 and 3. I also tell the class that if they think of other questions to ask as they listen to other groups’ questions, to add the question when I get to their group.)
