Reminder

Team Leaders,

Remember that all the Individual Memos need to be emailed to Dr. Feinberg before 5 pm. The Subject of the email must be "IM2", document attached with their name on the document, not the email. There is no requirement for it to be in memo format. So that you know the email was sent on time, have your team members copy you on the email. Please get this information to your team as soon as possible. Have a Great Day and we'll see you tonight.

CSR 309 Team Leader Breakdown

Team Leaders,

Julie and I have decided how we are going to structure the class. As you know we have both been promoted to president and have divided the groups between each other. We took the average scores from the leadership brochures of each team and evenly split the teams. We both have teams that did well and teams that need some work. We felt that the average scores were a reflection of your leadership and lets us know how you are doing. From this point on please direct all questions to your designated president. It is important to use the chain of command properly. If you go to Dr. Feinberg, he will just tell you to go to your president.

There will be a meeting between you and your president after class tomorrow. This will last at least 20 minutes. We will be letting you know what our expectations are and our visions and goals. We are excited to be able to represent you and help make this an amazing learning experience for all of us.

"Or Maybe You're Just Making Excuses!"

Quick Update

Hello Team Leaders,

Just wanted to send a quick update about the Individual Memo's that are due Wednesday, March 10 by 5 p.m. Be sure to let your teams know that the Subject Line of the email needs to be "IM2". Their name must be included on the memo and not on the email. They will not get credit unless these things are completed. I also asked my team to copy me on the emails when they send it to Dr. Feinberg, that way I know that they turned it in and what time they did. I hope everyone had a Great Weekend!

in class notes

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share something that i do with my group that may help out everyone's groups. On Wednesday Dr. Feinberg made an issue of people not taking notes in class and how we won't remember everything from the lectures if we don't write it down. To help out with note taking I have assigned every group member to class day where they take notes and share them with everyone in the group. My group has a blog similar to this one and that is where we post the notes, it helps everyone who is too lazy to take notes and people who couldn't make it to class that day. I just wanted to share this with everyone and hope it helps.

Have a great weekend,

Jackson Phelps

What is KIPP

Please see the link below to learn more about KIPP and share it with your groups.

Reminder for all groups

Do not forget to remind your groups to include a bibliography with their individual memos. Quoting a movie could be considered plagiarism if proper credit is not given. The university has very harsh consequences for this.

A great tool for Bibs is www.noodletools.com. APA is standard business format.

Good Luck with your groups. See you after class tomorrow.

Cheers,

Katy

Great Commercial



Enjoy!

Group Leader Meeting Recap 3/1/10

Group Leaders,

Tonight we discussed having a meeting for all the group leaders after every class. I think that it is important that we all share our ideas on this issue. Some feel that it is a good idea and some don't. I am very interested in hearing everyones thoughts on this. What are you doing in your groups as far as meetings?

Another issue that came up is that the Purdue vs IU basketball game is Wednesday at 6:30 and people have already said that they will not be there. Again, I'd love to hear everyones thoughts and opinions on this. What do you plan on doing in your groups?

Topic of discussion tonight in class was "Feinberg's 5 Easy Steps". Someone mentioned that we as group leaders need to set goals as a group. How did everyone do this in their groups?

If I missed any issues/topics or if you have something that you feel needs to be addressed then please add them to this blog. We need to keep up communication and learn from each other as well. Have a Great Week!

Individual Memo Instructions

Instructions per Grant's Email (Thank you Grant for putting this together).

This is the set up of the Paper, there is no length requirement. You just need to follow Feinberg’s wants as far as the papers structure is concerned and that will put substantial length in the paper. Just make sure you have a good first paragraph that has an introduction with an attention-getter (such as a question, quote, or scene), then essential background information about the topic, and a thesis statement. Also good transitions are necessary along with a concluding last paragraph. Tell your kids DO NOT summarize the movie do an analysis and provide feedback on what you learned. I copied what Feinberg wrote and posted on the internet server.

*VERY IMPORTANT: All work should/must/needs to be submitted by email as an attachment to **xdj1@purdue.edu* * with the correct subject line (unless specified differently). When you submit by email you must put the proper subject heading. You also must include your name(s) on actual paper (not just in body of email message) to insure credit.*

*Individual Memo* Film Analysis. Select a recent (last 12 months) movie. What do you learn about leadership? List of non-acceptable movies to follow. Email with “IM2” in subject line. It is important that you don’t simply provide a summary of the movie but do a leadership analysis. What is the leadership issue in this movie?

1. First paragraph- Have a point that is on target to assignment
2. Last paragraph- concludes the point
3. Transitions between paragraphs- support the point Paragraph structure
4. Spelling
5. Use resources- Have someone who can write and be honest with you read your work before you turn it in. Be prepared to write a paper at least three times. Use the writing lab or someone.
6. Have pride in your work since it is a reflection on you
