These introductory courses in a laboratory environment are designed to expose students to practical experiences, challenges and individual learning opportunities in a small group. Students learn the fundamentals of an organization and apply principles of leadership and management at the foundation level. Students develop military courtesy, organizational discipline, communication and basic leadership and management skills. Ultimately, students understand how to facilitate and lead a small group of four to five people as an integral part of a larger organization of 75-100 people through situational training opportunities in a variety of conditions. As a leadership practicum, students have the opportunity to serve in leadership positions and receive tactical and technical training. In addition to learning to lead groups of five to 100 people, students will also be exposed to training on first aid, operating Army equipment, Army activities such as rappelling and drill and ceremony. These laboratories are required for enrolled ROTC participants who desire to be considered for a commission in the Army. Corequisite: AS.374.101-AS.374.102. Military Science courses require department permission and are restricted to active or inquiring ROTC members.

Students enjoyed getting hands-on practice of various skills and tactics. Students learned how to think and lead while engaging in physical activities. The worst aspect of this course was the lack of proper leadership and direction on some of the lab days. The course would improve if there were more opportunities for the MS1s to lead and engage one another. Prospective students should know that this is a great course that will give lots of hands on army experience. It is important that students always be prompt and ready for anything to happen in this outdoor course.

Students found that the very hands-on nature of this course was its best aspect. They felt chal enged and that the exercises provided real-world experience. However, some of the students felt the course was very fast paced, and that some of the labs lacked the equipment to allow equal participation. Suggestions included providing freshmen with more leadership opportunities, as wel as extending the class to fit in all of the materials. Prospective students should be enrolled or planning to enroll in ROTC, and willing to put forth a serious effort.

Students praised this enjoyable course for having a light workload and being wel -organized. Perceived issues with the course included a general feeling from multiple students that the course could become 231boring as classes all involved a lecture off PowerPoint slides. Suggestions for improvement included a broad desire by students that the course be more engaging by including more in-class discussions or group work. Prospective students should know that students found the course was geared towards people currently in ROTC and while students not involved in ROTC could take the course, they should expect to put in extra time and effort to familiarize themselves with the material.
