Applied Group Skills
During this course students will participate in structured activities and group discussions that will
provide them with an understanding of how groups develop and function effectively. Lectures, readings
and discussions will reinforce this understanding. Students will also have the opportunity to examine the
role of the individual within the group - both as a participant and as a leader
This is an experiential course. Analysis of group experiences is a significant part of the course, so a
minimum of 80% attendance is required.
REQUIRED REFERENCES: Readings will be assigned from texts on reserve in the CNC library.
Students wishing to purchase a group dynamics text will find either Working In Groups (Engleberg &
Wynn) or Joining Together, (Johnson & Johnson) to be valuable resources. Any edition will be useful, but
recent editions best reflect current research and themes. The Portrait of Personal Strengths will be used
in class. This is used in two of the prerequisite courses, so students should bring their copy from
MGT154 or LEAD101.
