HDO 301 | Third Blog Entry

As my time as an undergraduate draws to an end, I have begun to ask myself where I will be in the next five to ten years. After becoming a Human Dimensions of Organization (HDO) major this past semester, I have been able to self-reflect and figure out what my future career path looks like. This semester I was accepted into the ADV 320 course, advertising for non-profit organizations. It has without a doubt been one of the most helpful courses in my three years at UT and has been a major contributor in deciding where I want to be moving forward.             The course was comprised of case analyses and a final project.

HDO 301 | First Blog Entry

In this blog entry, we want you to write between 500 and 1,000 words on the topic: Things I have noticed about people since starting HDO 301?  When you write about this topic, try to identify how things you have learned in class influenced what you notice about people. This is my first semester as a Human Dimensions of Organization (HDO) major. I have to say that I had little idea what to expect coming from an HDO class. After completing the "watching relationships" assignment I am confident that this is the right fit for me. I chose to sit down near the tower and analyze groups that passed by me throughout the day. I found that something that I already enjoy doing, people watching, could be even more deeply analyzed and could even lend itself to determining a group dynamic. I feel like I've become a lot more observant since being in HDO and I am able to identify complex relationships everywhere I go. I've noticed that one group could feature many different relat...
