Take My Liberty MGMT 501 Class

The first half of the course reads Satterlee two chapters a week. It treats management's classic functions, planning, organizing, leading and controlling, alongside leadership, and asks how a Christian worldview shapes both.

Weeks two and three move through the chapters on how managers plan, decide and organize work, with the link between managing tasks and leading people drawn out in each.

Week four completes Satterlee and brings the first literature review deliverable and the second test.

The second half turns to Dees on resilient leadership. Weeks five and six cover what resilience is, why leaders lose it and how they build it in themselves and their teams.

Week seven reads three more Dees chapters with an article on the topic, and week eight finishes the book with the summative group discussion and the peer review.

Each module has a short presentation and a few websites. Team discussions run in five of the eight weeks, skipping weeks four and seven, and the charter shares week two with the first of them. Tests fall in weeks two and four.

The two books pair well: Satterlee supplies the management functions and a faith perspective, and Dees supplies the personal side of leading through hardship.

MGMT 501 is carried with the group calendar in view, because each discussion has an individual thread and a team synthesis, and neither can be late.

The charter comes first. Your contribution proposes roles, internal deadlines and how the group will draft its synthesis, which saves trouble in every later week.

Each individual thread clears 400 words with four sources and applies the week's chapters directly. A thread on the difference between managing and leading, for example, can argue that a well-run hospital unit still fails if no one gives the staff a reason to care, and cite research on transformational leadership in nursing.

Your piece of each team summary is drafted to fit a joint text that must stay between one and twelve hundred words and cite seven works, pulling everyone's posts into a single line of argument.

The literature review starts with a topic in week one, chosen for its active research and relevance to leaders now. Fifteen annotated sources and a three-page outline follow in week four, and the review of 2,700 to 3,000 words in week seven synthesizes the research by theme, with quotation kept under fifteen percent.

You post and submit every item; the tests and peer review are yours.

MGMT 501 work goes to someone who has led people and studied leadership: an operations director, an organizational development consultant or a former executive who now teaches leadership, usually with a doctorate or a graduate degree in the field.

That background shows in the literature review, where sources are chosen from the leadership journals and synthesized into themes rather than summarized one after another.

It shows in the discussion threads too. A post on resilience can describe what sustained pressure does to a leadership team and which practices help, drawing on Dees and on current research.

The Christian perspective that runs through Satterlee is handled with respect and connected to specific management choices.

A second reviewer checks every thread, synthesis share and paper for length, sources and APA before delivery, and one writer stays on the course.

Your instructor approves the topic, so a strong first proposal saves a week.

Group deadlines are the first difficulty. Individual parts of group work cannot be submitted late, and teams across time zones need firm internal dates.

The syntheses are the second. A joint summary of that length and source count rivals an individual paper, and someone in the team must weave four or five posts into one case.

The annotated bibliography is the third. Fifteen sources, each with a summary, an analysis and an assessment, plus a three-page outline, is a large task for week four, which also carries a test.

The literature review is the fourth. Students often summarize sources one by one rather than comparing them, which is what a review requires.

The tests are the fifth, covering Satterlee in weeks two and four.

The literature review topic is due in week one, so the course is best handed over before it opens.

Your charter contribution reaches you early in week two, ahead of the group's own deadline.

Individual threads arrive early in each discussion week, and your synthesis share once the group's threads are up, with time for the team to combine them.

The bibliography and outline arrive before the week four deadline, and the literature review before week seven closes.

The quote shows each discussion, the bibliography with outline and the review on separate lines, with the review the largest.

A student joining after week one is quoted from the next item still open.

Payment follows each delivered item.
