3) Respond to the discussion question with a minimum of 250 words and two scholarly sources by Wednesday, at 11:59 pm. The book and the video will fulfill the minimum requirement. Additional sources can strengthen your arguments if they provide information that isn't already available in the assigned material.
3) Reply to the initial posts of two classmates. Explain why you agree or disagree, and how you would strengthen their arguments. Each reply should be a minimum of 100 words, due by Sunday, at 11:59 pm.
Here’s the discussion question (adapted from the end of chapter questions, pp. 352-353):
Describe how being rewarded or not being rewarded has changed your motivation and how you worked on a project. Were there different rewards or other factors related to the project manager's skills (pp. 330-340) that would have been more effective for you or other team members?
Additional details:
Update the subject line of the initial post so that it reflects what your topic, like adding a title to a paper. It makes it easier to see what everyone is writing about and, overall, just looks more professional. It’s also part of the scoring.
