Week 2 began Monday and is due today. I will not count work late if it is submitted by Sunday, January 15 -- you have a grace period built-in to each week.  I will also work with any students affected by the winter weather.
Week 1 work was due this past Friday. If you are new to the course or had other difficulties getting started, do not worry -- I will work with you as you catch up. Please reach out to me via course message, text, or email ASAP so that I can help you.
My goal is to grade your work within 24-48 hours of receiving it. Be sure to read my feedback so that you get tips for improving as well as extending your learning. Past students will tell you that they learn as much from the feedback as they do from the assignments.
To receive full credit, you must post quality work. In addition to the explanation of quality work in our syllabus (under Course Documents), I will leave ideas and examples of quality work in my feedback as well as in Daily Announcements.  Here is the grading scale for Leadership Development:

Ready, learn, lead!

Week 2 introduced you to leadership theories and helped you understand the difference between leadership and management. You also explored leadership styles.  The information you explored will serve as your foundation for this next part of your leadership journey.  As we cover more content, remember the theories so that you understand the "why" behind leadership actions.  Remember your well-developed style but work on your least developed styles as well.  When you post assignments, reference the material you learned -- make connections to our new material by relating it to what you learn in the previous week.  To be successful leader, we must make connections.  
Maria Popova said "in order for us to truly create and contribute to the world, we have to be able to connect countless dots, to cross-pollinate ideas from a wealth of disciplines, to combine and recombine these pieces and build new castles."  Have you built a castle today?
