Your task is to:
Read the articles (there are 2 in the link), along with the summary paragraphs preceding the articles.
Evaluate both Jathan Janove’s arguments against progressive discipline & potential objections to his arguments. In doing so, you are encouraged to rely on any personal experience with progressive discipline you have had, or the experiences that others (e.g., family or friends) have had with progressive discipline.
After considering arguments in favor & against Janoves position that progressive discipline should be “fired” (rejected & replaced with another policy), come to a conclusion about Janove’s position. You may strongly support Janoves position, strongly oppose Janoves position, or support a more nuanced position (e.g., that progressive discipline is useful or necessary in some employment settings but is counterproductive in others). If you support the nuanced position, you should list & discuss the conditions under which progressive discipline is useful/necessary versus not useful/necessary.
You are encouraged to respond to other students’ opinions (e.g., by expressing agreement or disagreement), along with reasons for your opinions.
The maximum score on this assignment is 100. I will evaluate your responses on the basis of:
(a) how systematic & thorough your analysis of Janove’s arguments & evidence is;
(b) your use of relevant experience (first- or second-hand) in your arguments;
(c) the extent to which your overall conclusion follows from your analysis & arguments;
(d) whether you respond to other students’ opinions, & the quality of your responses.
