BLOG 1

Well, this is my first blog post of the new school year in TSTM 544. We had our first class last monday. We went over the syllabus and what we would be doing this year. During class we also had to come up with catchy titles for the workshops some of us will be presenting this year. The class is set up similar to TSTM 444 where assignments are posted in different modules and most are due by the end of that week at midnight. We also had to do our first assignment in the dicussion board disscusing the importance of needs assesment after reading several chapters in our book about it. I found it very important. Needs Assessment allows companies to uncover the root of a percieved problem and keep them from wasting valuable time and resources. That's about all we did during the first week. This week we have to do our first blog response.
