Average Course Rating

(4.32)

MS201 focuses on leadership and ethics. The course adds depth to the Cadets knowledge of the different leadership styles. Cadets will conduct a leadership analysis of famous leaders and self-assessment of their own leadership style. The Army Profession is presented through the understanding of values, ethics and how to apply both to different situations they may encounter as a leader. Army Values and Ethics and their relationship to the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC) and philosophy of military service are also discussed. Cadets are then required to apply their knowledge outside the classroom during hands-on performance-oriented environments at the weekly lab facilitated by MS III Cadets, supervised by MS IV’s and cadre.

The best aspects of this course included the helpful teachers and the interactive demonstrations of the course material. Students were able to do some practical training exercises based on the theories they learned in class. However, the training exercises could sometimes be dreary and drawn out. The course would be improved if students received more detailed reviews before exams. Prospective students

Students thought that the reading materials, the class discussions, and the lectures were some of the best aspects of this course. They found the information interesting, and the professor very knowledgeable. At times, however, they found the workload heavy, and some of the materials were difficult to get through. Other students found the course to be very detail-oriented, from the complexity of the exams to the high grading standards. Suggestions for improvement include fewer readings, and spending more time reviewing materials for the exams, as well as a study guide. Prospective students are encouraged to take detailed notes and to stay on top of the reading. Students should have good memorization skills and be good with details.

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.
