Murray State University

Need some good examples of organization behavior (OB) concepts to illustrate course material? Why not ask your students? This article describes how having students write short stories (about one or two paragraphs) about their personal experiences can enhance your OB class in several ways. Students reported reading more of the course material and having an increased interest in the OB class because of this assignment. Being required to submit one incident for each chapter covered in the semester also boosts class attendance. Teaching courses in OB can be made easier, richer, more enjoyable, and more fun by utilizing one-point wonders.
