    Leadership Assessments & Reactions

    Leadership Traits Questionnaire

    • Top traits: Empathic, Determined, Trustworthy
    • I agree with these results. Empathy and determination especially feel accurate. I genuinely try to be there for others and follow through on commitments.
    • A downside is that my empathy can sometimes cause me to prioritize peoples feelings over efficiency or speed.

    Leadership Style Questionnaire

    • Highest score: Democratic Leadership
    • I agree with this result. I value collaboration, shared decision-making, and input from others.
    • While I think this is a strong leadership style, it can sometimes slow decision-making, especially when confidence or quick direction is needed.

    Strengths

    1. Empathy and concern for others
    2. Trustworthiness and responsibility
    3. Commitment to shared goals

    Weaknesses / Blind Spots

    1. Speaking up and confidence, especially in formal or hierarchical settings
    2. Prioritizing feelings over efficiency or decisiveness

    Leadership Growth Goal

    • I want to become more confident and decisive while still remaining empathetic.
    • Specifically, I want to practice speaking up sooner and balancing collaboration with clearer direction, especially in work or group project settings.

    Real Leadership Situation (Application Component)

    • I was part of a nonprofit organization that taught kids how to swim. After morning lessons, we would take about 50 kids to the beach.
    • In this role, I was seen as a leader because I was responsible for watching over the kids and ensuring their safety.
    • I felt a strong sense of responsibility and genuinely cared about making sure every child was okay.
    • This experience reflects my empathetic, trustworthy traits and shows leadership through care, responsibility, and service rather than authority.

    Hi,

    Below is all the personal information and context youll need to write my leadership reflection paper. Please write in first person, reflective and academic but natural. Avoid buzzwords and generic definitions.

    Leadership Background & Experience

    • I currently work as an Operations Specialist, but I am at the bottom of the chain of command. I have both a supervisor and a manager above me.
    • I do not see myself as a traditional or formal leader. I prefer to support goals with direction rather than control others.
    • In school group projects, I will sometimes step up and give direction, especially when things feel unorganized, but I always keep discussion open and encourage partner input.
    • In family settings, I occasionally take a leadership role, mostly when deciding what to do or where to eat, rather than making major decisions.

  • PEAR ESSAY 1

    Due:

    • 2/8 (Sun) 11:59 p.m.
    • The late submission for this assignment is available until 2/15 (Sun) at 11:59 pm. This is the final cut-off date for this assignment.
    • Late submissions will be graded up to 80% of the originally assigned grade.

    Tasks

    Step 1: Watch Metropolis (1927). Pick one or two scenes at most that you think show clear gender bias.

Upon your request, I will open the assignment portal. Generally, I do not offer the option of resubmission for late work.

    Submission Format

    Please submit your assignment by uploading a Microsoft Word Document or a PDF file.

    Criteria for Success:

    • PEAR paragraph should be cohesive and precise but contain a concise argument. Excellent work has the following components: 1) P (point) explains clearly the author’s argument. 2) E (evidence) contains detailed information that is strongly connected to the Point, 3) A (analysis) clearly analyzes what is suggested in Evidence, and 4) R (reminder) corresponds to the Point, wrapping out the core of the argument. Please check the Common Mistakes on the Pear Paragraph below for more information.

    Common Mistakes on the PEAR Paragraph:

    • Point: Instead of describing the position of the author’s opinion on the primary source, she/he introduces it without stating what the actual argument will be.
    • Evidence: Instead of referring to the pinpoint information that supports the analysis, the author writes about the plot of the primary source: Not enough evidence is provided.
    • Analysis: Instead of analyzing the evidence, the author writes about her/his opinion. Or there is too much citation from a scholarly source, and not enough analysis is provided
    • Reminder: There is no apparent connection with the Point (Remember should correspond to the Point, making your argument proper closing.)

    PEAR PARAGRAPH CHECKLIST:

    • Does the author properly introduce the primary source she/he will argue?
    • Does the Point address the author’s argument and not just the introduction of the primary sources?
    • Does Evidence have a description that depicts the primary source? Is it focused? Is it detailed?
    • Does the Analysis properly analyze the Evidence?
    • Does the Reminder clearly address what the author said in Point?

    PEAR Paragraph Rubric

    CriteriaRatingsPtsThis criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome

    Point

    5 to >3.0 pts

    Excellent

    Contains clear information about the topic that the author is going to analyze. Expresses the critical take that clarifies the author’s view on the topic. Has enough information on the material it is going to discuss.

    3 to >2.0 pts

    Meeting the criteria

    Contains a few unclear or wrong information about the topic and/or the material. The overall argument is good, but the author’s take on the topic is slightly unclear or out of focus, which makes it difficult to understand what the author is trying to argue.

    2 to >0 pts

    Need improvement

    Contains very little or no information about the topic and/or the material. The author’s take on the topic needs to be clearly stated. Or, it does not contain the author’s critical take on the topic at all.

    5 pts

    This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome

    Evidence

    5 to >3.0 pts

    Excellent

    Evidence is taken from a specific scene. The depiction is focused but contains enough material that provides sufficient evidence for the analysis. Clear and easy to understand.

    3 to >2.0 pts

    Meeting the criteria

    Evidence provided does not have a clear focus (either too broad or too narrow) and is slightly short (or slightly long) to support the following argument.

    2 to >0 pts

    Need improvement

    Evidence does not support the following analysis. It is either too long or too short. And/or contains inaccurate information.

    5 pts

    This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome

    Analysis

    5 to >3.0 pts

    Excellent

    Addresses the specific details of the evidence, and expresses the critical take of the author on this topic. It is beyond just the summary of the material and defines the meaning of the evidence clearly.

    3 to >2.0 pts

    Meeting the criteria

    Tries to address the specific details of the evidence and the take of the author on the topic, but the argument is slightly unconvincing because the argument and the evidence do not match, and/or the argument needs more critical take.

    2 to >0 pts

    Need improvement

    The match between the evidence and analysis requires improvement. It is either the extended explanation of the material (contains too much information of the evidence) and less on the author’s point of view.

    5 pts

    This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome

    Reminder

    5 to >3.0 pts

    Excellent

    Has a great match with Point (P). Shows critical framing throughout. Written in a precise and concise manner.

    3 to >2.0 pts

    Meeting the criteria

    The match between the Point (P) and the Reminder needs to be more strong. And/or requires a more critical perspective.

    2 to >0 pts

    Need improvement

    Does not respond to questions raised in Point (P). Needs to be more clear on what was the author’s main argument.

  • discussion 1

    Part 1 Reflection (150 words)

    Colleges and high schools regularly teach students how to analyze literature, history, and sciencebut what about the media they consume every day? Consider whether you believe schools should teach students how to critically and responsibly understand popular culture (music, films, TV, social media, gaming, etc).

    • Explain why or why not by connecting to your own experiences as a consumer of pop culture.
    • Share a moment when you realized a song, show, meme, or trend had a bigger message or influence than you first noticed.
    • Consider both the potential benefits and drawbacks.

    Part 2 Application (150 words)

    Choose one specific pop culture artifact (e.g., a TV episode, film, comic, song, or viral video) that you think needs some context before someone understands the message it is sending.

    • Name the artifact and give enough description so everyone can recognize it.
    • Explain what background knowledge, history, or cultural insight would help an audience better understand or appreciate it.
    • What might be misunderstood if someone just watched or listened without context?

    Discuss:

    Open up the conversation with one of your peers to discuss the effects that pop culture has on society.
