Course Evaluation Methods

This course will utilize the following instruments to determine student grades and proficiency of the learning outcomes for the course, such as chapter leadership trait questionnaires, exams, discussion boards, case studies (individual), and presentations (group). Leadership Trait Questionnaires Read each chapter and complete the Leadership Trait Questionnaire(s) at the end of the chapter. Submit the questionnaire with the score, interpretation of the score and why you agree or disagree with the findings. Exams

Mid-Term

Final

Exams will include multiple choice, true/false, and short answer responses. Exam policy: Quizzes and or exams should be taken as scheduled. No makeup examinations will be allowed except for documented emergencies (See Student Handbook). Discussion Board The class will review and discuss eight (8) videos presented by well-known leaders; i.e., Coach K, Duke; Howard Schultz, Starbucks; Ken Blanchard; Rene Carayol, Roger Staubach; Colin Powell; Susan Cain; and Fish Market, Seattle, Washington Your initial post no later than Wednesday, 11:59pm will incorporate the main concepts of each video. Include in your response how the concepts you identified relate to the text. (2) peer responses are to enhance the discussion, posted no later than Sunday, 11:59pm. I agree or disagree is not an acceptable peer response; why do you agree or disagree. All three posts, on the same day, will result in a zero for the discussion board. Individual Case Study Use the following format to critically analyze the case assigned. Problem(s) means more than one problem; solution(s) means more than one solution. Root Problem (one); i.e., if we do not do this, the organization will shut down, and the same is true for Root Solution; this will save the company. To receive full credit for the individual case study, you will also need to answer the questions at the end of the case.

(1) Identify the main characters (those who play a major role in the case)

(2) Trace the chronological series of events

(3) Isolate the problem(s) more than one

(4) Propose the solution(s) more than one to the problems based on the facts in the case and your personal and educational experience. Ask “what options might be available”?

(5) Explore the root problem; one. There is a difference in the possible “root problem” and “symptoms”.

10

(6) Root solution (one). What is the most feasible solution/option from the firm’s available resources, which will best satisfy the stakeholders? Your assessment of the case study will depend on the facts and your reasoned argument.
