11. Optional Materials: None
12. Course Outcome Competencies:
Upon completion of this course the student should be able to:
 Compare and contrast the eight roles of leadership.
 Describe how leaders communicate effectively.
 Describe how to build effective teams.
 Explain why conflict is considered “productive tension”.
 Describe the core competencies of Leadership.
 Develop and communicate a vision, goals and objectives.
 Describe a productive work environment.
 Demonstrate the ability to make effective oral presentations.
 Describe the essential components of managing change.
13. Attendance Requirements: Attendance is very important to your success in this class. This
“attendance” involves completion of assignments in a timely manner as well as timely participation in
the Discussion Board. Tests may be made up (with a penalty of 20% per day for lateness), and the paper
will have a 20% penalty per day for lateness as well; but no other aspect of this course may be made up
at a later date. Meeting deadlines is very important. In the event of a missed assignment or activity, it is
the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor. Absences will affect your grade. Missing more
than 25% of scheduled class meetings will result in a failing grade for the course. Participation in the
online Discussion Forums counts equally as attending class. Failing to respond to an online
discussion topic (on or before the suspense) is the same as failing to attend a face-to-face class
session.
All Wayland students are expected to attend every class meeting; the minimum percentage of class
participation required to avoid receiving a grade of “F” in the class is 75%. Students who miss the first
two class meetings without providing a written explanation to the instructor will be automatically
dropped from the roster as a “no-show.” Students who know in advance that they will be absent the first
two class meetings and who wish to remain in the class must inform the instructor in order to discuss
possible arrangements for making up absences.
14. Statement on Plagiarism and Academic Dishonesty: Wayland Baptist University observes a zero
tolerance policy regarding academic dishonesty. Per university policy as described in the academic
catalog, all cases of academic dishonesty will be reported and second offenses will result in suspension
from the university.
15. Disability Statement: “In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), it is the policy
of Wayland Baptist University that no otherwise qualified person with a disability be excluded from participation
in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any educational program or activity in the
university. The Coordinator of Counseling Services serves as the coordinator of students with a disability and
should be contacted concerning accommodation requests at (806) 291- 3765. Documentation of a disability must
accompany any request for accommodations.”
16. Course Requirements and Grading Criteria:
Students shall have protection through orderly procedures against prejudices or capricious academic
evaluation. A student who believes that he or she has not been held to realistic academic standards,
just evaluation procedures, or appropriate grading, may appeal the final grade given in the course by
using the student grade appeal process described in the Academic Catalog. Appeals may not be made
for advanced placement examinations or course bypass examinations. Appeals are limited to the final
course grade, which may be upheld, raised, or lowered at any stage of the appeal process. Any
recommendation to lower a course grade must be submitted through the Executive Vice
President/Provost to the Faculty Assembly Grade Appeals Committee for review and approval. The
Faculty Assembly Grade Appeals Committee may instruct that the course grade be upheld, raised, or
lowered to a more proper evaluation.

Other Important Information:
1. Assignments are due on the deadlines stated in the syllabus.

3. Written work, including the term paper, is graded on the basis of content first, but also on the
quality of grammar and punctuation.

Writing Style.
5. Questions concerning grades received should be resolved within one week after the
assignment has been returned.
6. Unless noted as a group assignment, all work should be original work of the individual
student.
7. Academic honesty is expected of all students. Plagiarism, cheating, and other acts that lack
academic honesty may result in a zero on the particular assignment.
8. Students may need to use the Internet to access some assignments.
9. Always contact the professor if you need assistance.
Vignette Presentations: In order to better understand and participate in the stages of studying
Leadership and Management Development (L&MD), students will be required to select L&MD related
Vignettes (articles) from a news paper, magazine, or the internet to present to the class.
In addition, the student will draft a one page summary addressing the L&MD highlights of the article (be
sure to include your name on the draft). The draft will be turned-in to the instructor prior to presenting
the Vignette to the class. This exercise will be due at the beginning of each class session except for our
final two class meetings (28 Jul & 4 Aug).
Chapter Presentations: Each student will lead an in-class (15 -20 minute) discussion of one (maybe
more depending on class size) chapter(s). The presentations should be accompanied by some type of
visual aid (e.g., PowerPoint, Video Clip, etc.) which enhances the overall understanding and use of the
chapters’ concept. Assignment of chapter presentations will begin on the first day of class.
Term Paper: Students will complete one research paper for this class. The paper should be a minimum
of ten pages of content, excluding coversheet, abstract, and references, and should utilize at least ten
scholarly references. Papers must utilize APA format. Topics for papers must also be pre-approved by
the professor. If Safe Assignment detects more than a 20% match of previously written work, the paper
must be redone to reduce this %.
