Course Methods, Requirements & Policies:

Instructional Methods: This course depends upon the frequent input and interaction of all students, as well as the instructor as they engage in the learning process predominantly guided by

seminar discussion. Students will also engage in exercises and view video clips applicable to principled leadership and the core values of honor, duty, and respect.

LDRS 211 Service Lab: Completion of a service learning commitment in the community with a grade of “pass” is required in conjunction with LDRS 201 in order to receive full graduation credit

for the Sophomore Seminar in Leadership. The objective of the Service Lab is to provide you with an enriching and provocative experience by giving you a taste of life and service outside of The Citadel gates. Your Service Lab for this component will be selected from a variety of options

developed especially for LDRS 211. In LDRS 201 you will receive an orientation to the Service Lab options and the steps required to select, enroll in, train for, complete, and evaluate your service

learning experience.

Academic Integrity: Unless otherwise specified, all coursework must be accomplished on an

individual basis without assistance from any other person except the student’s assigned instructor. The Honor System and Code apply to all course activities. Moreover, students will submit their

midterm and final essays to turnitin.com prior to submitting them to their eLeadership portfolios. Only essays that have received a green originality report on turnitin may be submitted on Taskstream.

Attendance: Regular attendance is required of all cadets. In case of absences due to illness or

other circumstances beyond their control, students should notify the instructor as soon as possible. A student who has missed more than 20% of the scheduled meetings may, at the discretion of the instructor, be awarded a grade of “F” for excessive absences, unless there are extenuating

circumstances. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain the information pertaining to any lesson(s) that he or she may have missed.

Students with Disabilities: If you need accommodations because of a disability, please contact Dr. Jane Warner in 103 Thompson Hall or call 843-953-1820 to schedule an appointment. If your

request for accommodations has already been approved, and you have your accommodation letter, please see the instructor as soon as possible during office hours.
