analysis, and experiential exercises. There are no prerequisites listed for this course.
Course Policies
Competencies: Upon completion of this course, the student will have demonstrated the
competencies as listed in the current edition of the university catalog.
Delivery Methodology: This course, MANA 4325-541, is offered as a lecture/classroom
course. This course requires that students meet at a designated time in the classroom. The
activities that we will utilize in the classroom consist of these: 1) Time reserved for instructor
lecture, 2) Time reserved for individual/group presentations, 3) Time reserved for research, self-
assessments and development, and 4) Time reserved for exams. Emphasis is placed on active
learning, encouraging personal assessment and growth, fostering respect for theory and research,
and engaged dialogue of leadership stories and experiences.
Attendance/Participation: Students are expected to attend class and participate in the
exercises and activities. The attendance/participation of the student are essential to the learning
and to the overall success of the course. Group discussions and projects, class exercises, case
studies, and workshops cannot be made up for full credit. Attendance will be taken and many of
the insights gained in this course are experiential and require participation. Students are
