1. Tune into any popular music radio broadcast – this can include internet or satellite radio. If you use a service like Pandora, be sure to choose a pop genre, and do not allow it to include related (non-popular music) genres. 2. Write 8 journal entries – one for each song that you listen to – addressing all of the following bullet points for each song (8 songs, 8 paragraphs):• What's the title of the song?• What’s the name of the band leader and/or band? This information is clearly provided on internet and satellite radio. If you’re listening to a traditional radio broadcast, DJs announce this info every now and then.• What’s the instrumentation? Larger ensembles can be identified as such, but for smaller ensembles (up to 5 performers) I'd like you to identify all of the individual instruments if possible.• Describe the general character of the music: what’s the atmosphere, vibe or emotional content of the piece? How would you describe the tempo (slow, medium, fast)? Does the music sound consonant (harmonious) or dissonant (discordant and clashing) - or something in between?• How does the music unfold from beginning to end? This is the most important aspect of this assignment, and should comprise at least half of each of your 8 journal entries. This can include descriptions of shifts in mood and character, interesting exchanges/dialogues between instruments/musicians, descriptions of solos, and other notable moments.

Motivation Theories AssignmentUsing the motivation theories, explain either your best, or your worst workplace experience in terms of motivation. Go in detail and provide information on your boss, work, context, environment etc. that affected your motivation. How and why did the situation lead you to perform at your best? Alternatively, how and why did you chose to not be performing according to expectations?If you have little or no prior work experience, or aren't comfortable sharing it, please watch the movie “Office Space” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0151804/ (Links to an external site.)) and analyze the situation Peter Gibbons and his colleagues are experiencing (you may chose either character, however, I recommend you address Peter Gibbon’s situation). If you chose to analyze the movie, your analysis has to go beyond the two short videos posted on the course website. Using the theories discussed, explain why he is motivated, or not so motivated, to perform highly.Theory 1:Theory 2:Theory 3: As a reminder, the eight motivation theories discussed in the book and in class were: Maslow's Hierarchy of NeedsAlderfer's ERG TheoryHerzberg's Two-factor TheoryMcClelland's Motive Dispositions TheoryEquity TheoryExpectancy TheoryReinforcement TheoryGoal Setting TheoryYour assignment should not exceed about three (3) pages in length (Times New Roman font size 12, single or double spaced) that is, about one (1) page for each theory.This assignment will be graded 70% on your ability to correctly apply motivation theories and 30 % on grammar and spelling. It is therefore important that you carefully edit your answers before turning them in. Please make sure you reference three different theories. Please upload your assignment in the form of a WORD document on the separate link provided in this module right underneath the project instruction. Students asked questions regarding the essay assignment. Here are some quick responses/ reminders of what was discussed in class...Scenes to analyze:Yes, you can choose between the movie and your own experience. It is one OR the other. You are able to use EITHER the movie (Office Space) OR your own life; that is one or more of your own (or relatives, friends, acquaintances etc.) work experiences, OR one or more/ several scenes from the movie. What you do not want to do is to switch in between the movie and your personal (or, friends, acquaintances, colleagues etc.) experiences.Page count:As stated in class, three pages is an approximate and a recommendation. That means, I will not reject submissions that is a half-page, or page, longer or shorter than these three pages. If you are getting below 2 or above 4, it is likely that you are either missing a points, or not being up to the point enough. Cover pages, should you choose to add any, do not count towards the page count.References, should you choose to add any, do not count towards the page count.
