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.

Descriptive notes regarding learning and practice


Last summer I interned in NYC for three months. I had to navigate around a
big city by myself and learn the responsibilities of working for a company.
During the internship I was given a lot of independent projects that I had to
complete. This challenged me to practice autonomy and work to succeed in
a competitive environment. I learned a lot of my supervisor and co-workers,
and learned about myself too. Realizing what I wanted to do in life helped
me become more comfortable with myself. I learned to work on my own
and focus on important tasks.
When I first started college, I struggled with managing my schedule and
disciplining myself. I would skip classes because I didn't want to wake up
early. Then I realized that I did poorly in the classes that I didn't attend.
Over the years I've learned that going to class is important and I've
disciplined myself to do the things I need to get done. As a result, I'm more
aware of what is going on in class and do better on exams because I was
attentive to what the professor was teaching.
On the Senate floor, we often have debates on which decisions should be
made. There are a wide variety of students that are part of the Student
Senate and often times several people feel different about certain issues.
This is when there's disagreement and heavy arguments. One of the models
of Student Senate is to keep everything political on the floor. We're always
reminded to not take things personally and not let our emotions get in the
way of making our decisions. Some instances it's hard to make rational
decisions, but we always try to keep each other in check. We remind
ourselves not to let our emotions ruin the relationships we have with each
other by getting dinner at Applebees after meetings and hanging out as a
group so there's no bad feelings about what went on as a floor.
Stress is something that everyone will experience. As a full time college
student taking around 18 credits a semester and working several jobs, I've
had to deal with a lot of stress. One of the most stressful things is having a
lot of assignments due and exams in one day. An effective way of avoiding
this kind of stress is by planning ahead and spreading all the work out so
that it's not all in one day. Sometimes panicking makes stress worse, so it's
important to stop for a moment and breathe in order to cope.
This last semester was the hardest semester I've ever had because I
struggled to graduate with all my completed credits. In order to do that, I

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.

In my business classes, we're always given projects to do throughout the


semester. One of my recent projects is a group presentation on our Capsim
stimulation. This was an activity that we started in the beginning of the
semester and had to give a report in front of the class on our experience and
results. I assigned a day in the beginning of the semester for all of my group
mates to meet up and discuss the current week's goals. I've also encouraged

everyone to keep in touch so that we can discuss any changes in the


stimulation. This helped us bond as a team and complete the project in a
timely manner. Since we communicated well with each other, we were able
to finish our project and give a smooth presentation.
My career goal is to find a job that I truly enjoying doing. I believe that if
you find a job that you love, you won't have to work a day in your life. In
addition, the positive energy that you have in doing something you love
will create better results in what you're doing. I love NYC and my dream
has always been to live and work there in the future. My internship
experience made me one step closer to that goal and showed me the realities
of my dream.
Something Ive always wanted to improve on was my essay writing ability. I
think this is an area where I was especially weak on and I dedicated a
semester to improving my essays. Throughout the semester, I wrote many
essays for three classes. The first essay I wrote in HDF 290 was a proficiency
paper that was not graded. To be honest, I thought my essay was very
sloppy and I was unsure of how to structure it. The second essay is the last
essay I wrote for HDF 290. Its an extra credit essay. By the time I wrote this
essay I had gotten the hang of essay structure through practice and I was
very confident in it. I received a 20 out of 20 on the essay.
Maslow believed that people are motivated to achieve certain needs. When
one need is fulfilled, a person seeks to fulfill the next need. He maps out a
pyramid of 5 motivational needs that people seek. At the bottom of the
pyramid are physiological needs such as food and water. The next levels are
safety needs (shelter, home), social needs (friends, family), and esteem
needs (achievement, status). At the top of the pyramid is self-actualization,
which is what everyone strives for.
In college, my biggest goal was to reach self-actualization, the highest level
on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Coming into college I had no idea what I
wanted to do in life or what kind of person I wanted to be. I was given a
place to live and a dining plan at URI, but I struggled to find friends I had
things in common with and a place at URI that I felt comfortable in. It took
a lot of trial and errors before I found a group of friends that made me feel
at home and clubs that I enjoyed being a part of. After four years, I can
definitely say I've made enormous process on the pyramid. I've found a
major that's right for me and figured out how I wanted to be involved on
campus.

Descriptive notes regarding learning and practice


There are several key characteristics of a Bureaucracy. A bureaucracy has set
rules that the management controls and these rules are what the
organization revolves around. A bureaucracy has a chain of command that
runs from the highest management to the lowest level of workers. It is run in
an impersonal manner that looks down upon favoritism and all the rules are
applied to everyone. Workers are hired based on technical qualifications.
And jobs are organized into simple structured tasks based on workers
skills.
During my internship in NYC, I got to experience what it was like working
for a company. I experienced first-hand the chain of command and how
everyone's roles contribute to the common goal of the company. Since I was
an intern, I reported directly to my supervisor, who reported to her
supervisor. There were certain tasks that I was responsible with, but when
there were bigger decisions, I went to my supervisor for advice and
guidance. Because my supervisor had more experience than me, she was
able to help me out a lot. I realized that this theory based on worker's skills
and experience creates an environment where the best skilled people who
are the appropriate tasks that I would benefit the company as a whole.

Nate Sousa did a presentation on the Scientific Management theory in


HDF 290. The Scientific Management theory was based on Fredrick
Taylors belief that less well-trained workers could get more work done
efficiently than more untrained workers. His theory was based on four
principles. 1. Work methods should be more accurate and scientifically
calculated. 2. Workers should be hired based on their skills and abilities. 3.
Employers should cooperate with their employees to make sure these
methods are followed. 4. Work should be divided equally between
employers and employees. Fredrick Taylors work is called Taylorism.
Before I started my job working as an office assistant in the URI History
Department, I received training from my boss on how to do things correctly
and efficiently. The training helped me do a better job and I was able to
manage multiply tasks a lot faster. It also gave me the confidence to help
others who walked into the office because I was knowledgeable on where
everything was and how I could help out.
I learned about the Management by Objectives theory from Samdelia
Roberts in our HDF 290 class. Management by Objectives comes from the
belief that people work better when they relate their work to their own goals
and objectives. The system is one in which workers are given a goal or task
to complete and encouraged to complete the task or goal in a way that is
comfortable to themselves. Basically, management creates objectives that the
group must complete and then discuss these objectives and how to achieve
them with subordinates in a way that the group will agree with.
Advantages of this system are that all members of the group are motivated
and fully interested in participating. Disadvantages of this system are that it
focuses on the idealistic goals rather than the outcomes and the goals can be
unrealistic or unachievable.
One of the things my supervisor valued was learning by experience. She
would assign me a project with very little detailed instruction and would
ask me to complete it in my own way. While she encouraged me to come to
her for help, she also encouraged creativity from me in doing these projects.
This helped me improve a lot by challenging me to think of new ideas and
ways to complete the project on my own. Instead of just telling me what to
do, I was able develop myself as a creative and independent leader.
I learned the Theory X and Theory Y theory from Ana
Chryssanthakopoulos in HDF 290. The two theories help employers classify
their workers based on work ethics. Workers classified in Theory X are lazy,
avoid responsibilities, and in need of control. Theory Y describes workers

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.

I learned the Visonary Leadership from Kathleen Harding in HDF 290.


Visionary leaders are described as being goal orientated, persistent, openminded, sensitive, and imaginative. They put importance on relationships
and have a good leader/follower relationship. Some famous visionary
leaders are Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, and the Wright Brothers.

The Individuals in Organizations is a leadership theory by Chris Argyris.


It stresses the importance of individuals in a group because the individuals
are what cause the group to exist. Individuals make up organizations and
determine the success or failure of organizations. Individuals all have
different jobs and levels such as workers, creators, and leaders. I learned this
from Emily Nichols from HDF 290.
The Student Senate is made up of students from different colleges, on and
off campus, and all grade levels. This is important because we want a
diverse group of students that can represent all kinds of student voices.
Each individual in the Senate has his/her own unique experiences, group
membership, and major. If everyone was the same major and in the same
organization, we wouldn't have an accurate representation of our university.
Then we wouldn't be able to make fair decision that would apply to the
entire student body. This is a group where each member's characteristics are
vital to the success of URI.
According to Zabdi Mesa and Nick Soccoccios presentation in my HDF 290
class, the 4V theory is made up of four components: values, visions, voice,

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

N/A

My partner and I were required to do some research and give a presentation


on Situational Leadership theory by Hersey and Blanchard. A situational
leader is one that is necessary for a particular setting or situation, and is
more of a partner than a boss. There are four styles of leading: telling,
selling, participating, and delegating. Telling is when a leader gives direct
instructions. Selling is when there is more communication between the
leader and the follower. Participating is when the leader focuses more on
the relationship between him/her and his/her followers. Delegating is
when the leader passes on most of the responsibility to his/her follower.
There are four levels of maturity (M1, M2, M3, M4) that range from being
unable and unwilling to do task to able and willing to do task. There are
also four developmental levels (D1, D2, D3, D4) that range from low
competence to high competence and low commitment to high commitment.

The Relational Leadership model focuses on people working together to


reach a common goal. It is based on five components: inclusive,
empowering, purposeful, ethical, and process-orientated. Inclusive is
making everyone feel like they are part of the group and are able to
contribute to the group. Empowering is making followers feel like they are
important. Purposeful is striving to reach a common goal. Ethical is leading
with good moral in mind. Process-orientated is focusing on achieving goals
with group dynamics in mind. I learned this from a presentation in HDF

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.

Kolb describes 4 stages of experimental learning. 1.) Concrete experience- in


this stage, the learner observes the task being done. 2.) Reflective
observation- the learner reflects on what he/she just observed. 3.) Abstract
conceptualization- the learner tries to form a theory of what they have
observed. 4.) Active experimentation- In this last stage, the learner attempts
to carry out the theory. There are 4 learning styles that correspond to these
stages: accommodating (feel and do), diverging (feel and watch), converging
(think and do), and assimilating (think and watch).

N/A

I learned the Social Change Model of Leadership Development from Alex


Rossi in HDF 290. The social change model is based on the 7 Cs:
Citizenship, Collaboration, Common Purpose, Controversy with Civility,
Conscious of Self, Congruence, and Commitment. This model is directed
towards college students in encouraging them to become leaders because
everyone is a potential leader. Leadership is a social relationship that is
based on collaboration. It is based on values and develops through
community involvement.

There are 6 stages of developing self. 1.) Awareness- individuals accept


leadership as a possibility and set their goals to achieve this. 2.)
Exploration/engagement- individuals start interacting with different
groups. 3.) Leader identified- individuals identify leaders in their lives. 4.)
Leadership differentiated- individuals begin to see leadership as a

responsibility instead of just a positional role. 5.) Generativity- individuals


become more interested in others and commit to their own interests. 6.)
Integration- Individuals identify themselves as leaders.

Cultural paradigms are things such as stories, symbols, power structures,
rituals, routines, control systems, and organizational structures that exist in
a culture. Every culture has its own paradigms, and differences in
paradigms affect relationships among people. In order to be an efficient
leader, one has to understand group members' cultural paradigm in order to
communicate effectively. In BUS 441, we learned that in the workplace,
people have different backgrounds and cultures. When a leader
understands others' cultures, he/she will be more aware of how they
receive information.

Franklins configuration of power shows us how the structure of society


shapes how power is distributed throughout society. Starting at the core of
is economics. The core of the power is who controls the wealth, the hiring
and firing and resources of communities and groups. On the outer layer of
that is politics (who has the power, lawmakers, etc.) then outside of that is
beauracratic management which Franklin states is used to protect
politicians. On the outermost layer are symbol controllers (media outlets,

religious leaders, etc.). Franklin says this serves to explain how minorities
challenge these groups thus creating institutional racism.

Descriptive notes regarding learning and practice


In PHL 212, we had a lesson on critical thinking. Critical thinking is how
people get to the root of their problems and come up with reasonable
solutions. Critical thinking is based on asking questions. Asking questions
are important because people develop and grow through finding out the
answers. We were given an article to read called What is Your Question?
that talked about the dilemma of schools not having the time to challenge
students to think critically. My professor called told us to go to the website
www.criticalthinking.org to do some research about the organization that
encourages critically thinking.
One of the first essays in HDF 290 was a proficiency paper on critical
thinking. We were given a story dilemma and we had to guide the character
in solving her problem. I had a couple ideas and different forms of action
the character could take and I described them one by one. I think I had the
basic idea done, but I was still new to writing these kinds of papers, so my
essay was informal and could have been better.

The 5 decision making methods are:

4. Consider alternatives and implications
5. Choose and implement the best alternative

BUS 441

Conflict manifests itself as a difference between two or more persons or


groups characterized by tension, disagreement, emotion, or when bonding
is broken or lacking. It usually occurs when people thinking differently and
disagree about a decision/situation. There are different methods of
managing conflicts, including accommodating, avoiding, collaborating,
compromising, and competing.
This past year I lived with two other girls in a house. We all had different
personalities and ways of living. Sometimes we would disagree on decisions
such as whether or not we should use the dishwasher (or hand wash our
dishes to save money), what temperature we should leave the heat on, and
whether or not we should lock our door (or leave it unlocked for
convenience). I've had to use all five conflict management methods at
different times. Sometimes I had to compromise and accommodate with my
roommates if they feel more strongly about their belief. Other times we've
talked it out to figure out the best solution or an alternative one to solving
the conflict.
The main topic of PHL 101 was critical thinking. In that class, we were
taught that critical thinking helps a lot of situations because it challenges us
to think about different alternatives, points of views, and try to understand
the situation differently. As a leader, we are given all kinds of situations and
it is up to us to make a just decision. Therefore, we must analyze and
critique all information and use it to make the best decision.
In my BUS 441 class, we learned about Crisis Leadership, particularly Crisis

Giving and accepting feedback is an important part of improvement as a


leader. We're all human and no one is perfect from the beginning. As
leaders, we should still strive to improve ourselves on a personal level. In
HDF 290 we were given feedback on all of the essays and assignments. The
point of the feedback was so we can evaluate our work and see where we
can improve on our work. Giving feedback can be hard sometimes because
you don't want to be too harsh, but at the same time you want the people to
be aware of what they can improve on.

person doesnt get hurt if they fall. We couldnt have completed the task

in a way that would appeal to the background, education, social level, and
age of our audience. We had to construct our speeches into an outline and
give the presentation in the order of the outline.
In my communication fundamentals class, we are required to give an
informative speech during the semester. The speech had to be 5-7 minutes
long and specifically outlined. I decided to do a speech on the criminal
justice system since it is a topic that really interests me. I was nervous to
present because I have a fear of public speaking. After preparing and
practicing for two weeks, I gave my speech in front of the entire class. My

of their college experience. My sister went to a university in another country, so it was interesting to see

talk in a professional manner and be ready to answer questions about


him/herself in a professional manner.
Last summer, I did a marketing internship in NYC. Before the internship I
had to go through a phone interview and two in-person interviews. Before
the interviews I researched possible interview questions so I would be more
prepared to answer potential questions. I also prepared my resume and
what I was going to wear ahead of time so I'm not rushing the day of the
interview. During the actual interview, I had to answer questions about my
experience and how I would handle certain situations.
There are several factors that are important in effective collaboration.
Communication is one of these factors. In order to achieve a common goal,
group members must communicate with each other to brainstorm ideas and
discuss how they will work together to reach the goal. Communication
starts with listening. If everyone in the group competed to talk about their
ideas, we wouldn't be aware of other ideas that might work better. Listening
also helps group members understand each other and think as one. Another
important factor is respecting everyone in the group and acknowledging
that we're all striving for the same goal.
A very interesting and fun activity we did during the HDF Retreat was
where we had to bring a rope through a knotted spider-web without
touching the web. In order to do this, we had to communication among
our class so we know when to tighten or loosen the rope. Without the
collaboration (if everyone was trying to complete their own section without
regarding other people), it would be a lot more difficult to complete. This
activity made me realize how important teamwork is how it makes
completing the common task a lot quicker.
Communication is more than just languages. Culture is an important part of
the process and must be taken into consideration in order to achieve
effective communication. Culture affects more than the way we talk, it
affects the way we think and behave. In PHL 101, I learned about nonverbal
communication, which is often disregarded as a form of communication,
but is just as important as verbal communication. Nonverbal
communication includes signals, facial expressions, body language, etc. It's
important to understand another culture's nonverbal communication in
order to have successful intercultural communication. For example, different
countries have different meanings for certain hand signals. You might
offend someone from another culture accidentally if you aren't aware of his
or her culture.

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

URI
Memorial
Union Event

ASA

The American Student Association and P.I.N.K. hosted a dance in the


Memorial Union together. Since the two clubs hosted the event, members of
the two clubs had to supervise it to make sure the night ran smoothly. Since
I was an ASA member, I volunteered to be one of the supervisors during the
dance. We were required to wear specific shirts and make rounds on the
dance floor throughout the night to make sure there were no fights, drugs,
or inappropriate behavior. We had to carry flashlights and werent allowed
to dance or be distracted from doing our job. The dance ended very no
problems and everyone left safely. The night was a success. Maintaining
accountability is important for a leader because while I was supervising the
dance floor, the people there were my responsibility and I had to do my job
in order for everyone to have a safe and fun time.
In BUS 441, we learned about the important of relationships in a group.
There has to be a mutual respect between leaders and members and an
understanding of the common goal. Some ways to build relationships
between leaders and members is activities that challenge the group to work
together towards a common goal. They can then better understand how
each of the members functions and translate that group effect into the
workplace.
As a member of the Student Senate, I have weekly meetings and office hours
with the other members of the Senate. Since we spend a lot of time together,

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.
