The best aspects of this course included its applicability to real-world scenarios and the moderate assignments outside of class. Students appreciated the instructor’s engaging demeanor and enthusiasm for the course content. One student felt that assignment instructions could’ve been made clearer. Suggestions included incorporating more hands-on practice and providing students with study guides. Prospective students are encouraged to be interactive with the instructor and must know that the class is heavily ROTC-based.

This course not only taught students how to be a leader in the military, but also a leader in everyday life. The professors were friendly and had a sense of humor. They were also involved by asking questions, giving examples, and making sure the students were keeping up with the material. However, students would have enjoyed putting their leadership to the test during this course. Many students also complained about the take home tests and didn’t think they were conducive to learning. To improve this course, it was suggested that students practice confidence and a go on a few field trips. Prospective students should know that the work load is light and not too much military theory is discussed.

Students enjoyed CPT Yi’s ability to help them develop through instruction on leadership and teamwork. Students appreciated the conversational nature of the class, as well as the applicability of skills acquired to non-military contexts. Some students felt that they would have benefitted from having more graded work in this course. Students would also have benefitted from more application of the concepts presented in class. Prospective students should know CPT Yi is wil ing to consider your workload in other courses prior to giving you assignments.
