The BUSI 644 Week 3 method, step by step
See where this piece sits in the project
Individual Project Part 1 is one stage of a larger project. Read the full project description first so this stage feeds the final submission instead of standing alone.
Choose a subject you can research
Pick a real organization, product or setting with enough public information to support every stage. A subject that runs out of data halfway through is hard to recover.
Answer the questions this stage asks
Turn each question in the stage instructions into a heading and answer it with specifics about your subject, not general theory.
Apply the course model
Bring in the course framework the stage expects and apply it explicitly to your subject's facts.
Support with sources
Back the analysis with credible sources (Werner and DeSimone and research on training design): company filings, industry data, peer-reviewed research.
Format, length and teamwork
Stay within Not set in the guide; complete training materials with all lesson plans and format in current APA. If the stage is a group deliverable, agree on who writes which section early and edit for one voice at the end.
Write each lesson plan as a table (time, objective, activity, materials, check for understanding). Include the actual materials, such as a job aid or a role-play script, not only a description of them, and connect the training to the business's mission.

A topic angle that works
Chapters 5 and 6 cover designing and implementing HRD programs. Follow the design sequence: needs, objectives, content, methods, materials, delivery and evaluation, and make the lesson plans detailed enough that another trainer could deliver them.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Lesson 2, Handling customer complaints (60 minutes). Objective: given a complaint scenario, the employee will use the four-step LAST method (listen, apologize, solve, thank) to resolve it within store policy. 0 to 10 minutes: discuss a recent complaint the store handled poorly. 10 to 25: trainer models LAST. 25 to 50: role-plays in pairs with scenario cards. 50 to 60: each employee resolves a new scenario while the trainer scores a checklist.
