Most of us have had to participate in some type of training on our jobs, such as new employee orientation, lunch-and-learn workshops, Employee Assistance Program training, technical skill training, employee benefits update meetings, or management development workshops.  Some of us have experienced on-the-job training.  Others have participated in professional development workshops or skills-based continuing education classes.  Think about the best and worst training experiences you have had. 

YOUR ASSIGNMENT

Write an 8 page essay (not including cover and reference pages) analyzing both your best and worst training experiences as an employee.  Be specific in discussing what made the experiences good or bad.  Weeks 4 to 8 cover learning theories, the design of training, training evaluation, transfer of training, and training methods. 

Your essay should include brief descriptions of the training experiences:

The major focus of your paper is your analysis, which is worth 65% of the grade for this assignment.  Your analysis should include:

The information above should be included in your paper but you are free to organize your essay in whatever way makes sense to you.  You may use the first person (“I attended a program” or “the trainer told us”) in discussing your experiences.  Support your analysis with citations from the readings from this class or other HR courses, and additional resources posted in our classroom.  Make sure you define all key terms and cite the source(s) of your definition.  Since this is not primarily a research paper, no specific number of references is required.  However, you must cite your sources. 

Use APA format for all citations, quotations, and references.  References should be listed on a separate page as required by APA style.  Your paper should be double spaced with one inch margins and a font size of at least 11 points; do not include any spaces between paragraphs or sections.
