Rationale for Prerequisite, Corequisite, Recommended Preparation: Students must take GUID 47
in conjunction with GUID 47L the first time they enroll in the course. This provides students with the
opportunity to study and develop an understanding of leadership theory while they practice
applying the theory. Students may repeat the lab portion of the course without repeating the lecture
portion.

COLLEGE LEVEL CRITICAL THINKING TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS:
Degree applicable courses must include critical thinking tasks/assignments. This section need not
be completed for non-credit courses. Describe how the course requires students to independently
analyze, synthesize, explain, assess, anticipate and/or define problems, formulate and assess
solutions, apply principles to new situations, etc.
Students will be required to participate in activities that require the application of principles and
skills relating to leadership and organization. Activities will provide opportunities to identify, analyze,
and utilize information to solve problems relating to leadership and organizations. Principles,
knowledge, skill, and experience gained in this course are applicable to activities and organizations
both within and outside of a college or university setting.
3.
ASSESSMENT
Degree applicable courses must have a minimum of one response in category 1, 2, or 3. If category
1 is not checked, the department must explain why substantial writing assignments are an
inappropriate basis for at least part of the grade.
A.
This course requires a minimum of two substantial (500 words each) written assignments which
demonstrate standard English usage (grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary) and proper paragraph and
essay development. In grading these assignments, instructors shall use, whenever possible, the English
Department’s rubric for grading the ENGL 150 exit essay. Substantial writing assignments, including:
essay exam(s)
term or other paper(s)
laboratory report(s)
written homework
reading report(s)
other (specify) _____
If the course is degree applicable, substantial writing assignments in this course are inappropriate
because:
The course is primarily computational in nature.
The course primarily involves skill demonstrations or problem solving.
Other rationale (explain) __________________________________________
2. Computational or Non-computational problem-solving demonstrations, including:
exam(s)
quizzes
homework problems
laboratory report(s)
field work
other (specify)_______
3. Skill demonstrations, including:
class performance(s)
field work
other (specify) written and oral presentations
performance exam(s)
4. Objective examinations, including:
multiple choice
completion
