This course continues the discussion of how to integrate academic leadership concepts with a student’s personal narrative. Whereas OL201 was mostly focused on one’s own point of view, OL202 will extend this discussion by gathering information from “other” point of view by including discussion of secondary data analysis techniques such as surveying/interviews. Academic leadership topics, including followership, ethics, communication skills, and presentation skills will be discussed. Finally, the course will focus on the application of the academic leadership content to a student’s personal/professional narrative to integrate the academic information with firsthand experiences.
