Instructions:

This journal is worth 25% of your overall mark.

Due dates are on your course outline.

?

Download the

Journal

or

create your own it must be identical.

?

Follow the instructions in the journal template and Journal Rubrics or you will lose marks.

o

Submit your journal to me via the tab ACTIVITIES> ASSIGNMENTS for both written and video

journals.

DO NOT SEND TO ME VIA EMAIL.

Its easier for me to mark them for you quickly and

easily through ASSIGNMENTS.

o

Journals will not be accepted if more than 2 days late. And you will automatically lose 1 point

per day late and ½ point if even 5 minutes late.

o

Plagiarized journals will have you dismissed from the class immediately, without a grade, so

don’t even think about it. Yes, this happens in every class that someone uses someone else’s

journal entries.

o

Your journal is for you to make the

connections between what you are reading in the textbook,

writing about in the discussion forums, or the live virtual sessions.

What

connections are you

making to your work with what you are learning in class? What insights or AHA moments are you learning

about yourself and the materials and your work.

This can be your current work environment or past

work.

o

DO NOT recite me back the textbook or you won’t get any marks

.

I want to know what you THINK or

FEEL about what you are learning and how you will apply it in real life; what you are learning about

yourself as a supervisor or potential supervisor.

Its also okay to site how what you are learning may be

crossing over to your personal life.

Everything you are learning can be applied personally and

professionally.

o

Refer to the

Journal Rubrics under GETTING STARTED

for expectations of what I am looking for.

o

Therefore, your

textbook is mandatory

because I will know if you are not reading it.

o

No, you can’t opt out of a video journal in favour of a written one so don’t ask me. Your verbal journal is

great speaking skills practice :>)

Four Questions will be repeated for each journal (written and video)

Q1: My two Insights.

(2 Points: 1 point per Insight)

?

Write a

minimum of 150 words

for each insight. You are welcome to write

more than

150 words; it’s a

journal so write as much as you want, and I promise I will read it. Anything

less than

150 words will

receive zero.

?

An “insight” is your “aha” moment; something that you learnt from this last 2-3 weeks of materials that

really impressed you or that you want to explore more or get stronger at. To get there it will be

something from what you are reading in the textbook, or the online discussion forums or live

virtual/recorded sessions.

?

I want to hear YOUR insight

not verbatim something in the book.

How does what you learned mean

something to you personally and/or professionally. What connections are you making to work? What

are you learning about your past experiences?

What is something you learned about yourself in this last few week’s materials that you consider to be a

strength you already possess. Relate it to the materials you are learning.

?

This isn’t about something you want to learn, but that you have notice about yourself that you want to

acknowledge and continue to grow and magnify.

As a leader it’s important to acknowledge what you already excel at and what you are naturally good at. I

want you take pride it these skills, knowledge, abilities, talents, and character traits.

Think with a growth mindset about what you learned about in this few week’s materials. What have you

noticed about yourself that you need to grow, strengthen and be more competent/confident at.

?

Where do you want to stretch yourself and grow and learn more of? What is an area that you are seeing

you are challenged and need to improve upon to be a good leader such as skills, knowledge, abilities, and

character traits?

Q4: What are you thankful for?

(1 Point)

?

Write at least two things you are thankful for. This can be personal or professional. You can expand it into

a sentence or write bullets points with some details.

?

Don’t look for big things here; the sun was out today, a fun family dinner, a colleague who made you

laugh, a good meal, a quick ride home because traffic was light.

?

DO NOT TELL ME YOU ARE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU LEARNED THIS WEEK in the class as you will get

no point for this

. I want you to acknowledge what you are thankful is in your life and/or work.

?

There is a reason I am asking you to do this and I will explain it on our last virtual session.
