You have now read (esp as per Chapter 9) substantial information regarding the use and design of systems and methods for "evaluating employee performance" in an organization. Classifications, Examples, Definitions, Administration and Purposes (etc) of PA / PM systems have been provided. You are now to describe, discuss, diagnose and comment on a type of PA / PM system you currently (or have been subjected to) in an organization. In your presentation, be sure to integrate as many terms, concepts, methods (etc) from the textbook {along with (full) and appropriate attribution} as you can into your presentation regarding the system.
Make sure your presentation is well organized rather than presented in a haphazard, stream of consciousness fashion. Thus you should probably prepare, or at least organize your primary post "off-line" before preparing it for posting. Thus, It is best to compose, tweak and edit your post in "Word", or equivalent, prior to submitting (lack of clarity and planning will be evident). Approximately 700-800 (carefully crafted) words. You can not edit or delete your post once it is posted (please re-read that sentence!)
In addition provide some personal / professional reaction to the system.
You do not necessarily need to identify the organization by name (however that is not prohibited), but you should at least briefly describe the organization (size, industry, sector, age, etc) for a frame of reference.
Then provide a personal, meaningful and value-adding comment to at least one of your classmates. They have worked hard to prepare their presentation and they will look forward to your reply, reaction and comments. You have much to learn about how other organizations go about the PA/PM process.
NOTE: IF you have not been subjected to a formal "Performance Appraisal' or performance management system in a workplace environment, please think of an employment situation where such a system should or could have been utilized. That is, "design" and discuss the parameters of a PA / PM system for a former or fictional company. Use, integrate as much material from Chapter 9 (or other pertinent chapters) into your presentation. You will not be able to review any posts until you first submit your primary post.
