ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION:
This assessment is an individual activity. You need to keep a reflective journal, which you will later use to inform a written assignment in an essay format. You may be asked to include comment on lectures, performances and the pre-reading and classroom experience. You may organise your reflection based on these three topics from the following chapters: 1. Chapters 1, 2 & 3: Introduction to leadership 2. Chapters 4, 5, 6 & 7: The personal side of leadership 3. Chapters 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12: The leader as relationship builder.
The content of the reflection is up to you, although it should be based on the ideas and discussions from class and the relevant assigned readings. As well, a number of activities and reflection questions will be suggested in each class. Reflective Journal entries must demonstrate application of course materials to personal experience and observations and include an evaluation of those experiences and also lessons learned.
Important Note: If you do not attend class, you will not be able to submit a comprehensive reflection.
