Several supplements have been designed to make both teaching and learning easier and more interesting for users of Human Resource Management: Linking Strategy to Practice, Third Edition. We are especially grateful to the following people for helping us to provide such a comprehensive teaching and learning package: Dyanne J. Ferk, University of Illinois–Springfield; Marcia Marriott, Monroe Community College and Rochester Institute of Technology.
Companion Website
The companion website for Human Resource Management: Linking Strategy to Practice, Third Edition, contains a myriad of tools and links to aid both teaching and learning, including nearly all of the resources described in this section. To access the site, go to www.wiley.com/college/stewart.
Instructor's Resource Manual
The Instructor's Resource Manual includes an introduction with sample syllabi, chapter outlines, chapter objectives, teaching notes on how to integrate and assign special features, and suggested answers for all quiz and test questions found in the text. The Instructor's Resource Manual also includes additional discussion questions and assignments that relate specifically to the cases, as well as case notes, self-assessments, and team exercises.
Test Bank
The robust test bank consists of over 100 true/false, multiple-choice, and short-answer questions per chapter. Furthermore, it is specifically designed so that questions vary in degree of difficulty, from straightforward recall to challenging, to offer instructors the most flexibility when designing their exams. Adding still more flexibility is the computerized test bank, which requires a PC running Windows. The computerized test bank, which contains all the questions from the manual version, includes a test-generating program that allows instructors to customize their exams.
PowerPoint Presentations
This resource provides another visual enhancement and learning aid for students, as well as additional talking points for instructors. This set of interactive PowerPoint slides includes lecture notes to accompany each slide.
Personal Response System
Personal Response System questions (PRS or “clicker” content) were designed for each chapter in order to spark additional discussion and debate in the classroom. For more information on PRS, please contact your local Wiley sales representative.
Web Quizzes
Online quizzes, available on the student portion of the Human Resource Management: Linking Strategy to Practice, Third Edition, companion website, include questions varying in level of difficulty, designed to help students evaluate their individual progress through a chapter. Each chapter's quiz includes 10 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions. These review questions, developed in conjunction with the test bank, were created to provide the most effective and efficient testing system. Within this system, students have the opportunity to “practice” the type of knowledge they'll be expected to demonstrate on the exam.
Pre- and Post-Lecture Quizzes
The pre- and post-lecture quizzes, found on the student companion website, consist of 10 to 15 questions (multiple-choice and true/false) per chapter, varying in level of detail and difficulty, but all focusing on that chapter's key terms and concepts. This resource allows instructors to quickly and easily evaluate their students' progress by monitoring their comprehension of the material from before the lecture to after it.
Videos
A set of short video clips from CBS News provides an excellent starting point for lectures or for general classroom discussion. Teaching notes, including clip introductions and assessment questions, are included for class discussion or assignment.
