OUTCOMES
In this section, you will track your progress toward the outcomes. Each class in the minor targets different outcomes; all of the classes list these
outcomes on the syllabi (the words “goals” or “curriculum areas” may be used instead). In many of our classes, the assignments can serve as your
evidence. Periodically, and not less than at the end of each semester, you should update your outcomes progress. In the “additional experiences”
column, name additional classes or experiences that contributed to you becoming proficient in that outcome. As the semesters pass, you will think of
things from recent semesters and semesters further in the past, or people or jobs, etc. in your past that also influenced your progress on that outcome.
Do not let that ambiguity upset you. Reflecting on development is not a linear process, but it does help to reflect often. In the “descriptive notes”
column, share insights about your growth, lack of progress, successes, stumbling blocks, etc. At the end of each section, you need to include evidence
that supports your development toward the outcomes. Copies of papers, grading sheets, evaluation letters—anything that shows that someone has
determined that you have demonstrated proficiency (or not, or are making progress). Make sure to keep electronic copies of all of your evidence to
include in your Portfolio.

app that tracks habits. to go bag are done everyday. Coming back from being out at school or work to a messy room was
very discouraging, and even though it has been hard to stick to, I force myself to do this every day
because of it.

An example of organizational self discipline are my weekly reports that I complete at work. I have to
complete them usually at home, and on a weekly basis I sometimes don’t have the energy to do it
after a long week of classes. I still make myself do it, as I know how important it is for my job and how
significant it is to the company's efficiency.

An example of academic self discipline is my weekly Sunday study time. Even if I don’t have any
homework or quizzes to study for, I still review over notes from class and make sure I don’t have any
questions for ay classes.

discuss sensitive topics such as racism in healthcare. I saw how interesting that the way I felt in the

going to drop my leadership minor until I talked to an advisor that helped me to break everything down
and manage what was happening. Due to this, I was able to continue with my minor.

Something new that I have done to manage stress is working out. I remember that being something
that teachers had mentioned for stress management, but I never really tried it. There is something so
therapeutic about channeling mental stressors physically. I now enjoy powerlifting, and enjoy seeing
my progress with this. Both work and school requires a lot of sitting, and sometimes it can feel like you
are just sitting with your stress. Being able to move around enables me to appreciate my body, and
step back from whatever stress I have.

with in the future.

issue one day when that wasn't done and there was no time to get it done either. Due to my own
personal code of ethics, I knew that patient's had to have signed a form in the past that disclosed this
process, and I wanted to ensure that it was honored. So, I took the time to ensure that everything was
done correctly, even though some co workers said it would take too long.

I see this outcome taking place in my internship as well. My own personal code of ethics had ensured
that I follow through everything in a specific order in order to remain HIPPA compliant. I have to go
through several more steps to even send out an email, for example. There's a specific site, and with
that site I can send certain files, but not others (ie. Encounter form). If a patient needs something
specific for their own medical history, they would need to come in to the office, sign some forms and
then be able to pick it up. As tedious as it can get, it is essential in healthcare.

value simply is an expression of compassion. When you love someone or something, you show
compassion towards it/them. For a person, obviously if you love the person you show empathy for
them. If you love something, you are passionate towards it and put your best work forward.

9. Student will demonstrate practice of the HDF290 This outcome is seen in action in my Since my top VIA value result is kindness, and it is what I feel most connected to, I can think of many
personal values statement everyday life. Specifically the top examples where it was put through in action. One that comes to mind is from a very long time ago,
one, kindness. from when I was in elementary school. I think it was my first real life example of leadership. I was the
team leader for a school play, and was writing out scripts via hand. I was not supposed to write on
both side of the notebook paper, but I ended up doing it anyways because of a misunderstanding. Due
to this, our teacher’s assistant told us that we had been doing ti wrong the day before the play. As the
leader, I was extremely stressed out (as stressed out as a 10 year old could be), and began working
very quickly. One of the other team leaders had caught up with what was going on and split up the
work with me, instead of leaving it all to one person. Due to this, we were able to present our play on
time.

This value in leadership showed up for me in such an early age, and stayed with me for the rest of my
life. I have had to use kindness in leadership ever since then, and I truly base that trait off of treating
others the way I would want to be treated.

I noticed how important this value is when it is reciprocated. With my genetics class for example, I
remember being incredibly stressed out for an exam asI was out sick the week before it. A classmate
noticed this and gave me their notes, and also took the time out of their busy schedule to explain
some of the lectures to me. I appreciated it so much because if it wasn't for them, I feel as though I
would not have done as well as I did. To repay them for their act of kindness a few weeks later, they
were going through the same thing, and I ensured that they would feel prepared for the exam in a
similar manner.

13. Student will show knowledge of the PSY113 I saw this outcome in action during I learned about Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs in the PSY113 class. These are a group of 5 needs
“Hierarchy of Needs” theory by Maslow my psychology class. commonly shown depicted with a tiered pyramid. These needs are (bottom to top), physiological
needs (food, water, shelter, clothing, sleep), safety, love and belonging (friendships, relationships),
esteem needs (feeling of accomplishment), and self actualization (achieving your full potential).
Through this pyramid, typically a person goes up through them. Meaning that, as your physiological
needs are met, you look for safety, then love, and so on.

Existential Paradigm Self-actualization Theory [Slides]. PDF. https://www.nwosu.edu/

uploads//academics/social-sciences/bjcc/cbrp-training/maslows-hierarchy.pdf

14. Student will show application of Maslow’s PSY113 This outcome is continuously being Applying Maslow’s theory to my own life I see how I need all five to be content. Starting with
theory to own life seen in action in everyday life. I think physiological needs, I thankfully have food, water, and shelter, and am not worried about any of those
that each of the needs presented are aspects. Not having to worry about basic physiological needs leads to the next tier, safety. This can be
something that we strive to applied in everyday actions such as using a seatbelt, locking the door, etc. Next is love and belonging,
completely everyday. For me, I know which is seen in everyday relationships. There is a need to belong somewhere, and for me, that sense
that each of the five needs I try to of belonging is with my family and friends. For the fourth, esteem needs, I do this by going to school. I
meet every single day. enjoy the feeling of accomplishment, and school is one of the easiest ways for me to achieve that. The
final is self realization. I think that I have achieved some part of that, but I don’t believe that I have this
aspect completely down. I think for your full potential, there’s always going to be a need to improve on
something, so I’m not sure how one would reach their full potential.

There has been a point during my college experience where I was a little bit more secluded. I think
that during COVID, I picked up on some not as good habits and retreated more within myself. I was
still following some of Maslow’s needs, but not others. The ones I was lacking the most was seen via
my lack of social interactions. I spent most of my time just focusing on school, and actually ended up
not doing as well during that semester compared to when I was more social. I noticed that mentally I
did better as well. I think this hierarchy of needs is especially important when trying to reach the top,
self realization. Once lockdown restrictions weren’t as bad, and I was able to have more interactions
with my peers, I did a lot better. It taught me a lot about balancing school/work with social interactions
and relationships.

day. utilizing this theme. One way that this strength gets in the way is that sometimes I can get too
caught up in other people's point of views, and don’t use my pwn voice enough.
2. Competition : Competition is constantly trying to be the best in a certain area. It is comparing
yourself to others and trying to be the ‘ best’. It is a theme that had always surrounded me growing
up, as I was always in competitive environments. I would always think to myself that my parents did
not immigrate to a strange country just for me to not be the best. One way that this gets in the way
is the constant need to compare myself to others in every way. It is honestly exhausting and can be
very unhealthy.
3. Context: Context is thinking about how the past made the present, and how it will affect the future.
For me, it is a theme I am always using. I always think back to the past and try to think about how I
could have done things differently; as well as how my present is now due to that. The present
doesn’t make sense to me unless I think about past instances that shaped it. It is a strength as I
can utilize whatever I have done in the past to do better in the future. However, it can be a
weakness when someone could constantly be thinking about the pas in order to understand their
present. It is like constantly remembering bad memories (as well as good), in order to understand
yourself and your circumstances.
4. Developer: This is seeing potential in anyone and anything. This is a strength because it usually
falls to my advantage. Nothing is ever too ‘bad’ of a shape to get into, and everything looks like a
fixer upper. This however can also be a disadvantage, as sometimes I won’t know what I'm walking
into, get into a bad spot, and not know when to back off.
5. Input : This is the theme that involves the need to collect things. Those things can be anything form
memories to rocks. For me, I feel like I can hyper fixate on things to collect. I have collected
everything from polaroids, to paintings, to books. It is a strength in leadership, as one thing that is
useful to collect is ideas. One way that it can get in the way, is when it becomes a new hyper
fixation and your main focus is collecting new things.

3. Equal divided work between managers and workers. According to Taylor, there should be virtually

sentence that made it more clear : " Help me help you". I think that there were so many excellent
examples used during the presentation. One that sticks out the best is when a quote by Nelson

behind his flock and enables them to move forward. You have to be able to work for people in order to

39. Student will show knowledge of the HDF290 I presented on this topic in my Situational leadership is a flexible leadership style based off of the relationship between
“Situational Leadership” theory by Hersey HDF290 class “leaders” and “followers”. There are essentially 4 development levels of the followers that
& Blanchard are labeled D1-D4. These levels correlate exactly with the competence:commitnent level of
the “follower”; with D1 being low competence and high commitment, D2 is low
competence and low commitment, D3 is moderate competence and variable commitment,
and D4 being highly competent and highly committed.
Then, after the leader evaluates the "followers” , they must utilize a leadership style
accordingly. These are labeled S1 (directing style), S2(coaching style), S3(supporting style),
and S4 (delegating style). The development levels correspond directly with the leadership
style. For example with D1 followers, use S1 leadership, if you're leading D2 “followers”,
lead using S2 style and so on.
the great thing about this leadership theory is the flexibility of it. It has an intuitive appeal,
where this could be especially useful if one of your strengths is social intelligence.

complete the task at hand.

I saw this outcome take place during my job at CVS. I had two positions at this job as both a
pharmacy tech and customer service/cashier. Specifically with cashier, I had to utilize this
theory. I did not expect that this theory would need to be used in a job like that, however
with the experience I had it was essential to practice this. With different customers comes
different levels of care necessary. For example, an older customer needs a lot more help than
someone who is maybe in their 20s. Based on the situation, I would know what kind of
approach I would need to take. For example, if an elderly person asked me where something
was, I would go with them to show them the product they wanted. However, usually with
someone younger, I would simply state where to find it, and they would not need any further
help.

with favorable relationship building skill.
2. Task orientated leaders - These are the people who ranked lower on the LPC scale, and
are effective at task completion rather than relationship building.
Next, you must address the situational favorableness. This is determined upon leader-
member relations(higher advantage for leaders with good relations, depending on how much
the team trusts you), structure of task(vague or clear), and the leader’s position of
power(How much control over punishment/reward system, how much you can direct the
group).
So, the steps are to identify your leadership style, identify the situation, and then to finally
determine the best leadership style for the situation.

used in this minor) critically. Historical examples of racism, sexism, abuse of powers, etc in the scientific community). Some of the
principles that we were taught was:
1. Gather all information - can not make a complete decision without ensuring that you have all
available resources ready
2. Understand and define all terms - You have to ensure that you actually know what you are talking
about, and are able to properly define the terms being used
3. Question conclusions - if a statement is being made think about what brought someone to come
up with their belief, and why they would reach such a conclusion
4. Question the resources - It’s great if you are able to collect all relevant resources, however it is
also important to question where sources come from.
5. Understand your own biases and values - everyone carries some form of a bias without even
realizing it, and it is important to acknowledge it and work to separate yourself from it. \

102. Student will show knowledge of at least five HDF 290 I utilized several of the decision There are several decision making methods that can be utilized by anyone. The five most used ones
decision making methods making methods in my HDF 290 for me are: brainstorming, voting, trial and error, consulting, and pro/con technique.
class during group presentations. - Brainstorming is when, especially during group presentations, all the members have discussions
regarding topics/ideas. This is incredibly useful in that it’s great to have many ideas out in the
open, so that you can have multiple options when trying to make decisions.
- Voting is by far one of the most common method used for decisions making. It is the simplest way
to make a decision. Simply put, the group takes a vote, and the idea with he most votes is the one
decided on. One way that this can be irritating to use is that not everyone will agree on what to do,
and the difference between the ‘majority’ and ‘minority’ votes can be very small.
- Trial and Error is a lesser used decision main process for me in a bigger group, but is used more
either alone or with a smaller group. it is when you make several attempts until you reach success.
This approach is especially great in personal decision making as it allows room for one to grow
from their errors, until they reach the results they want.
- Consulting is a great decision making method, as you literally consult with someone to help you
figure things out. This is used so much in everyday life, be it with counselors, advisors, teachers,
etc. When consulting, you speak to someone you trust or who might have more information than
you, to help make an informed decision.
- Pro and Con technique for decision making is a quick way to help make an informed decision.
Simply, you make a pro list that are arguments for a specific decision, and your con list would be
arguments against the decision. Following this, you would evaluate what your list looks like, and
make a decision based off of what side holds more weight.

gender and sexuality 1. Brainstorming - We had an established topic (gender and sexuality), however since it was such a
large and vague topic, we had to brainstorm ideas in order to try to get the ball rolling. This leads
to #2.
2. Voting - after brainstorming our ideas, our group voted on which ideas we wanted to cover, and
went by majority.
3. Trial and error - This was a more personal decisions making method. For me, I was struggling to
find correct research work that covered the specific topic, and was constantly in a state of trial and
error, until I finally ‘got’ what I needed to get.
4. Consulting is a decisions making method that was heavily used. Our team when brainstorming,
came up with potential people to interview and consult throughout the project.
5. Pro and con - This was used when trying to figure out what’s the most effective media to use
during the project. Since it was a multimedia project, our team had to weigh out pros and cons of
including whatever types of media to add =.

active listening techniques COM class and used in action include:
during the entirety of it. - Paying attention : sometimes it's hard not to let your mind wander when someone is talking. It is
making sure that the other person gets their entire point across before speaking.
- Reflect: Active listening is not only paying attention, but it’s also making sure that you understood
the other person correctly. One way to achieve this is to say “It sounds like you’re…”, or “When you
said…. Did you mean…”
- Summarize: Restating the key themes of what the other person said helped to confirm that you
understood the other person's point of view.

wanted to cover. We all had done some research on it beforehand, and talked about it with each
other as a group.

topic should be and how to go about it. We had an open communication where we talked about
what we wanted to cover, as well as what our own personal deadlines should be. Following our
solo work, we would join together as a group and look over each other's work to make sure nothing

mentoring, as well as problems particular BIO102 class and had covered 1. Intentional - Set intentions as a agreed upon set of goals and activities to help moth
to the mentoring relationship how to effectively mentor mentor and mentee
2. Inclusive - Create an inclusive space that is not intimidating for people to enter
3. Relational - both mentors and mentees are responsible for actively building a healthy and
productive relationship that includes effective communication and conflict resolution.
4. Holistic - nurture the development of the whole person by supporting growth that is both
professional and psychosocial

Some problems particular to this relationship are:


1. ineffective mentoring pairs - sometimes the way you mentor and the way the other person
needs to be mentored does not line up
2. Over dependence on mentor - this can occur when the mentee is too dependent on the
mentor and cannot grow professionally or psychosocially.
