Jornalentrys.docxLeadership Class Journal Requirements
Instructions: There is no paper for this course. You will instead keep a leadership journal consisting of 27 entries based mostly on exercises and assessments. The goal of this journal is to complete your personal assessment, reflection, and improved self-awareness. The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it, and the higher grade you will receive. The first submission, due in Week 2, is to allow you to get initial and early feedback. The final journal is due in Week 7. Some assessments are in the book and some are not.
The journal project is worth 240 total points. You will journal and submit your entry at the end of Weeks 2 and 7. The Week 2 journal is to allow you to receive instructor feedback so you can make any changes to your initial journal and increase your chances of earning an excellent grade on the final journal submission due in Week 7.
Format
1. You must have an APA cover page and follow the usual APA guidelines related to text, double-spacing, citations, and references. You are NOT required to cite and reference the exercises from the text or the textbook in this journal. For this class assignment, they are specified and assumed. If you use the text as part of your discussion and reflection in your answer, you will need to cite and reference.
2. Follow the headers from this requirements sheet. Use each journal entry header, bolded and underlined, in your journal. This is important for facility efficient grading.
3. Save your journal with the schema LastName_FirstName_Journal#. For me, it would be Jones_Marshall_Journal 1 for my initial submission.
4. Load to the digital drop box.
5. Your final journal will include entries from your first entry to create a complete
leadership journal. In the event you edit entries from your initial journal, you need to leave the original entry followed by the updated entry highlighted in yellow so the instructor can easily identify edits from the original journal.
Entry Expectations
IMPORTANT – Unless an entry specifically indicates another expectation, entries must consist of a minimum (to earn a C) of THREE PARAGRAPHS. The first entry should discuss the assessment or exercise; the second paragraph discusses your results and interpretations; and the last and most important discusses how you can use the information to improve on identified areas needing improvement – or how the assessment reinforced what you are doing and why.
