Students develop a handbook by completing activities for specific classes. Student products are included in the handbook. The handbook is used for the entire Master of Arts program. Students package products, assignments, and reflections in a three-ring binder while addressing core program objectives. The Performance Driven Model includes program outcomes, major theorists, and recommended activities that each student completes.
Professors enjoy considerable discretion in evaluating and assigning student activities.
Professors may assess student work throughout each course. Core activities must be completed. It is the student s responsibility to include relevant samples in the notebook. Notebooks serve as one method of demonstrating competency in each of the content areas. It is hoped that following completion of the M.A. program students will use the notebook as a resource in addressing their respective leadership responsibilities.
