The first assignment was rough, but after the precedent was set for the course, i.e., that you have to be willing to go beyond the textbook and seek out answers in legislation, case law etc. I began to thoroughly enjoy the course. I've gotten a lot out of it and have learned an immense amount about work-life, how arbitration works, what to be cautious of as an employer/employee/human resource professional, and that bias is everywhere so you should be wary of everything you read. It's a tough course, but it is so rewarding to look back on the assignments and realize "dang I really did that" after you've been researching case law and legislation for a few days.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COURSE!! 3 hours of pure boredom. Don't waste your time. There is no marking scheme, no rubric, and it looks like he makes the assignment up the day before he posts it (riddled with typos, repeated questions, etc.). If you're doing your HR Minor you need three of HRM 301, HRM 303, HRM 305, HRM 307. Only do 301, 303, and 305.

There is on midterm and final. The collective bargaining assignment is really easy and fun. It gives you good experience too. The content is kind of dry, but it's useful information if you want to pursue in bargaining. The midterm and final is similar to other HRM courses, it consists of M/C and short answers.
