In the Discovering and Implementing Your Leadership Strengths course, the assignments are designed to provide students with various opportunities to engage with the course material, apply their learning, and receive feedback. The assignments can be categorized into different types:
-
Explore: In this phase; course participants learn core concepts through engaging videos and research-based readings. These assignments aim to provide a foundational understanding of the course topics and introduce students to key principles and frameworks.
-
Practice: Learners have the opportunity to practice the concepts they have learned through multiple-choice questions, scenarios, and simulation activities. These assignments allow students to reinforce their understanding of the material and gain hands-on experience in applying the concepts without impacting their grades.
-
Apply: Through case studies and self-reflection activities, learners are challenged to apply the conceptual material to real-world scenarios. These assignments encourage learners to analyze and solve problems using the principles and frameworks learned in the course. They also provide an opportunity for course participants to reflect on how these principles apply to their own jobs and professional contexts.
-
Share: Peer-to-peer discussions, surveys, and polls are included as assignments to facilitate reflection and knowledge sharing among learners. Course participants can engage in discussions, share their insights and experiences, and provide feedback to their peers. These assignments foster a collaborative learning environment and allow learners to learn from different perspectives.
-
Assess: The course includes various assessment methods to evaluate learners' understanding of the material and their ability to apply it to the workplace. This includes pre-and post-assessments to measure knowledge growth, peer assessment tools for evaluating each other's work, and summative assessment instruments to assess overall comprehension and application of the course content.
By incorporating these different types of assignments, the course aims to provide a well-rounded learning experience, where learners can actively engage with the material, apply their knowledge, learn from their peers, and receive feedback to further enhance their understanding and leadership skills.
