The professor of this course lectures prompted deep class discussion and the first-hand experience that students received while working in teams to apply what they learned in class was priceless. The final project al owed students to explore leadership techniques that they could implement in the future while working with others. Disorganization and lack of structure were complained about by students, and the course ended up being writing intensive although it was not designated this way. To improve this course, it was suggested by students that there be a concrete syl abus, a more developed curriculum, a writing intensive credit, and more course direction and organization. Prospective students who want to work on their leadership qualities should enrol in this course.
