OUTCOMES
In this section, you will track your progress toward the outcomes. Each class in the minor targets different outcomes; all of the classes list these
outcomes on the syllabi (the words goals or curriculum areas may be used instead). In many of our classes, the assignments can serve as your
evidence. Periodically, and not less than at the end of each semester, you should update your outcomes progress. In the additional experiences
column, name additional classes or experiences that contributed to you becoming proficient in that outcome. As the semesters pass, you will think of
things from recent semesters and semesters further in the past, or people or jobs, etc. in your past that also influenced your progress on that outcome.
Do not let that ambiguity upset you. Reflecting on development is not a linear process, but it does help to reflect often. In the descriptive notes
column, share insights about your growth, lack of progress, successes, stumbling blocks, etc. At the end of each section, you need to include evidence
that supports your development toward the outcomes. Copies of papers, grading sheets, evaluation lettersanything that shows that someone has
determined that you have demonstrated proficiency (or not, or are making progress). Make sure to keep electronic copies of all of your evidence to
include in your Portfolio.

had to take 7 classes. Most of the classes are 400 level and capstone classes,
which made it even more difficult. On top of that, I was working a part-time
job, babysitting, and applying for jobs/internships for after graduation. It
was definitely a lot to juggle and often times I was overwhelmed and
stressed by the amount of work I had. I had to learned to management my
time efficiently and find ways to relieve stress. One of the ways I did that
was going for runs when I felt too overwhelmed with studying. I think
those little breaks helped me clear my mind and refocus. Another technic
was doing assignments in groups. That reminded me that I wasn't alone in
my schoolwork and I had support if I struggled with something.
In HDF 290 I was part of a group that did a presentation on leadership
ethics and what it means to be a leader. A leader is someone who rules,
guides, or inspires. They represent the group and make most of the final
decisions. A good leader is far, honest, open-minded, and responsible.
He/she makes all members of the group feel like they are part of
something. A leader should listen to everyones input and make decisions
based on what will be best for the group.
Everyday I have to interact with classmates, friends, professors, and bosses.
I want the people around me to know me as a kind, honest, and respectable
member of the community. Therefore, I strive to always look at things from
other's points of view and think things over before I say or do something. I
think it's important to do a lot of thinking because it helps you evaluate
situations in different lights.
I strongly believe in the good of people and that's the kind of leadership I
want to lead with. I believe that people do care about others, our
environment, and social injustices in the world. Some people may not know
how to go about showing they care, and that is where leaders come in. As a
leader, I value becoming a better person and encouraging others to strive
towards honesty, kindness, and loyalty.

that like working, have responsibilities, and need space to develop their
imaginations.
I see this theory a lot of group projects. There are always one (or more)
people in a group who step out as the leader(s) and really take an active role
in contributing to the project. Others are classified in Theory X and tend to
take a backseat in the group. This year I've had numerous group projects in
all of my classes. I strive to be a Theory Y worker so that I'm aware of what's
going on in the class and able to make sure that our project is the best it can
be.
Servant Leadership is a leadership model developed by Robert Greenleaf.
This model is unique because it is designed with the idea of the leader
putting his/her followers before him/herself. For example, we see this
model among parents and their children. The parents are the leaders, but
their decisions and actions are made based on the well being of their
children. They lead in order to serve their childrens needs so that the
children achieve their goals. I learned this theory from Kaylena Fonseca
from my HDF 290 class.
In BUS 441, I was given a group project on the topic of Servant Leadership.
We had to do a Powerpoint presentation in class to teach our classmates
about Servant Leadership. We also created an activity for our class that
would challenge everyone to demonstrating this type of leadership. The
activity was called "Balloon trolley"; each group lines up and holds a
balloon between them, while working together to get to the other side of the
room. This relates to Servant Leadership because each person has to
cooperate to serve the common good. At the end of the activity, we
discussed questions like "how did our group work together" and "how was
our experience putting others' needs above our own.
The Principle Centered Leadership theory by Covey is based on eight
characteristics. 1. Learning from other people and classes. 2. Service and
helping others. 3. Creating a positive environment with energy. 4. Believing
in others. 5. Leading balanced lives. 6. Looking at life as an adventure. 7.
Putting the group before oneself. And 8. Doing mental and physical
exercises to renew the mind and body.

and virtue. Values are personal beliefs that guide an individuals everyday
life. Vision is creating a picture of actions and goals an individual wishes to
see. Voice is projecting that vision to other people and motivating them to
take action. And finally, virtue stands for the common good and it is what
we should strive for. Grace believes that an ethical leader is one that knows
his/her core values and has the courage to live by them and provide service
to the common good.

Constructivism is the belief that people create their own worlds from their
knowledge, understanding, and beliefs. New information is comprehended
and stored in peoples minds, altering their view of the world.
Constructivism emphasizes the whole expanding into the individual parts.
It has a lot to do with critical thinking because it encourages people to
question, experience, learn, and answer their questions. Knowledge is seen
as always changing.

In my Business passport class, one of our assignments was to conduct interviews with 4 people in our
lives and ask them about their professional experiences. The point of the assignment was so that we
get an idea of what other people's career paths look like and learn how to network. I interviewed both
my own peers and people who were already further along in their career path. From interviewing my
sister and my friend, I was able to learn their goals for the future and what they were hoping to get out
of their college experience. My sister went to a university in another country, so it was interesting to see
how her college environment was different from the one at URI. She lived in a city and went to classes
that were made up of hundreds of students. I realized how different it was compared to my campus and
classrooms, which had usually no more than 30 students.

Traveling
Two summers ago, I stayed in Japan for two months. I had been taking
Japanese for a year at URI and I wanted to improve the language by being
around people who spoke it constantly. But what I learned was more than
just the verbal language. I learned a lot about the different ways they
communicate. For example, it is rude is Japanese to refer to someone as
"you". Knowing things like this is important so you can avoid accidently
insulting others. By the end of the two months, I learned a lot about the
culture and the language, and was able to effectively communicate with the
people there.

Tutoring
My freshman year of college, I took URI 101. Every URI 101 has an
upperclassman that serves as a mentor to us. From my mentor, I learned
what being an upperclassman in my major was like and the different classes
that I'll eventually have to take. It was comforting to have an older student
that served as a role model and gave me an idea of what road to take.
I've worked as a private tutor for middle school students, teaching them
math, history, science, and helping them with homework and tests. They
often ask me about the classes I took in high school and what college is like.
I want them to be prepared for the future so I try to give them as much
information as I can. It's a really good experience helping others achieve
their goals by sharing my personal experiences.
