About the Course

In this introductory, self-paced course, you will learn multiple theories of organizational behavior and apply them to actual cases of
organizational change. Organizations are groups whose members coordinate their behaviors in order to accomplish a shared goal. They can

restaurants, grocery stores, and professional associations are some of many examples of organizations. Organizations are as varied and
complex as they are ubiquitous: they differ in size and internal structure; they can entail a multiplicity of goals and tasks (som...

Very challenging yet worth it. If you are in an administrative position in an organization (especially education) you will get some great perspectives/understandings from this course. Take good notes!

This course provides in-depth analyses of a host of organizational theories and their application in real life. The dissection of each case and the applicability of the theories are really insightful.

Excellent overview of theories helps you understand what else to pursue or research, it's a very good baseline. The testing concepts are dated and not terribly effective. The capstone is 111 questions, which as we all know, prompts us all to develop a strategy to pass the test, vs assessing our application of concepts . Also there was no response to questions during the course. (Coursera tried to make contact and get resolution as well, the response problem is with the course developer not Coursera)

The material was great! I wish it were presented differently. Frequent, short quizzes throughout each module (like was done in module 10) instead of one or two quizzes spread out (as was done in every other module) is a great way for students to check in with their comprehension and retention of the information. Also, some of the lectures were poorly organized. I found myself asking "what is the main principle here?" or "Why is this principle popping up here again?".

Interesting concepts. The instructor is knowledgeable. As an organizational development practitioners, I found it very academic relative to the terms used and examples given. In some cases, I had to translate the terms used to every day layman language to really understand the concepts as they would apply in my day-to-day work.

iIt's an outdated course. Power points are too bookish. Require reforming of questions. You can not just put a sentence from your lecture, keep a word in vacant and ask for the correct answer.

I find this course very interesting and beneficial but the final questions were too much, I had a really hard time to remember.
