COURSE DESCRIPTION: AS 202, The Evolution of USAF Air and Space Power, is a survey
course designed to facilitate the transition from AFROTC cadet to Air Force ROTC
candidate. Featured topics include: Air Force heritage, Air Force leaders, Quality Air Force,
an introduction to ethics and values, introduction to leadership, group leadership
problems, and continuing application of communication skills.
ROTC TRAINING DAY REQUIREMENTS: Attendance for scholarship/contract and pursuing cadets
is MANDATORY for all ROTC Training Day sessions. Sophomores considering an Air Force career
are highly encouraged to attend. Training will provide more detailed information about the Air
Force than is covered in the classroom.
CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICY: Refer to regulations in the Student Catalog regarding class
attendance. Any cadet with absences in excess of 20% will receive an “F” for the course.
Punctuality, attendance, and participation contribute to your grade. There will be frequent handson activities and you must participate in order to benefit.
MAKE-UP TESTS AND LATE ASSIGNMENTS: Make-up tests and late assignments will only be
accepted if coordinated and approved by instructor. Coordination and approval must occur before
class starts. In the event of extenuating circumstances special consideration will be given by
instructor (see below for examples of extenuating and non-extenuating circumstances). In the
event students do not coordinate a make-up test or late turn in of assignment with instructor, a
penalty of 5 points per day will be given until test in completed or assignment is turned in. It is the
student’s responsibility to coordinate with the instructor for any make-up tests or late assignments.
1) Extenuating circumstances are death in the family or medical treatment.
2) Non-extenuating circumstances are sleeping through class, special leave, special
orders, and/or meeting with other professor/group/club.
GRADE COMPOSITION:
1. EXAMS: Two exams will be administered during the semester. These exams are mandatory and
each exam is 25% of your grade. Excused absences must be coordinated with the instructor at
least 24 hours PRIOR TO the test date. This includes any cadets placed on special orders. Failure to
show for the exam or coordinate an excused absence will result in a grade of ZERO.
2. COMMUNICATIONS SKILLS ASSIGNMENT: Each student will prepare and submit an Air
Force official memorandum and Air Force talking paper on an assigned topic. The memo
and talking paper will be prepared in accordance with guidance in AFH 33-337, The Tongue
and Quill. These assignments will be worth 20% of your final grade.
3. CLASS PARTICIPATION: Class participation is 10% of your grade. Class absences could
negatively impact your participation score. You can't earn the full 10% if you don't participate
during discussions.
4. QUIZZES: Random quizzes will be administered during the course to ensure students are
prepared for class and reading the assigned material. The quizzes will account for 20% of
your final grade.
