Assignment Guidelines Review

As a college student, it is important to think about how stress can impact both your personal and academic life. In this case study, you will do some research on stress and ways to build self-efficacy.

Case Study Scenario

Katya is a freshman with a 3.0 grade point average. She studies diligently, but experiences severe anxiety before tests because she doesn’t believe that her efforts will make a difference. It is almost the end of the semester and Katya must do well on her chemistry exam or she’ll lose her scholarship. This pressure has made her test anxiety so bad that she had a panic attack this afternoon while trying to study. The chemistry exam is two days away and she needs help.

Thinking it Over

Very often, a college student’s self-esteem will be based on academic performance. Discuss how you could help Katya build her sense of self-efficacy both in and out of the classroom. You will also need to discuss the best approaches Katya can take now to do well on her exam and prevent a similar stressful situation from happening next term. This is where you will use your research to support your ideas.

Conclusions

Use these questions to help you think about your recommendations and conclusions:

  • Do you think you would seek professional help if you were in Katya’s situation? Why or why not?
  • From a health perspective, what are some actions you can take to decrease anxiety and learn optimism?
  • Lastly, what are good ways to form realistic expectations before beginning each semester?

What do you have to do?

First, you will need to do research using articles from the web with at least 1 resource from the PCC Library. (Note: If you are accessing these from off-campus, you will be asked to enter in your LancerPoint username and password in order to login to the system.) You can check out the following resources to help you:

You will then need to use your research to create a 2 page double-spaced analysis of the case study which includes the following:

  • OVERVIEW OF THE SCENARIO (Summarized in your own words.)
  • YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
  • RECOMMENDATIONS (This is where you will include your research with citations in APA format.)
  • CONCLUSION

Create a cyclical OD process whereby results from one cycle (i.e., evaluation) becomes part of the input for the next cycle (i.e., identify problem)

Change Leadership

This course has major project assignments that will be due in Weeks 3 and 5. It will take more than a week’s effort to adequately complete them. Plan time to start the research and other work for those assignments earlier than the week in which they are due.

Because this is the Week 3 portion of the course project, it is considered a major project worth a substantial amount of points. As part of your review of the assignment instruction, review the expanded grading rubric available as a link at the bottom of the basic rubric below.

Organizational Development (OD) is a method organizations use to manage change. OD implements change in an organization by using the action research (AR) model to identify a problem, plan change, implement interventions, and evaluate the success of the change process. Two key tenets of the AR model are: 

  1. Involve those doing the work (e.g., employees, stakeholders) in the change planning, implementation, and review.
  2. Create a cyclical OD process whereby results from one cycle (i.e., evaluation) becomes part of the input for the next cycle (i.e., identify problem)

To begin this week’s section of the final project, briefly review your chosen organization. Presume that the reader does not know the identity of your organization or what you have evaluated thus far. What is the essential information the reader should know? This section of your paper should be a very brief summary, likely no more than three or four sentences. Be sure to provide an appropriate APA introduction to your paper.

Next, describe one or two recent change events that have occurred in your subject organization.

  • What was the planned change?
  • How well did the change effort work?
  • Using research in organizational and leadership literature, evaluate the change event.
    • What mistakes were made?
    • What key lessons can you summarize from your evaluation of the past event?

Next, research the literature on change leadership. Defend a change leadership action plan that your organization should implement to create positive change outcomes and reduce or virtually eliminate resistance to change. Be sure to support your plan with research. 

Next, assess strategic steps to leverage insights from the employees at different levels of the organization in every stage of the change process. Be sure to support your strategic steps with research.

Finally, justify how your proposed change process for the organization aligns to the organizational values.
