Leadership, You, and Your Community
OLPD 3302 & PA 3961, Section 003Fall 2014 (3 Credits)Ubuntu [is] the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist asa human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can't be human all by yourself,and when you have this qualityUbuntuyou are known for your generosity. We think of ourselves fartoo frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what youdo affects the whole World. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity.

She welcomes and encourages you to set up a time to meetwith her outside of class, which includes some evenings and weekends. This will give her an opportunity to
build a relationship with you and help her to better serve you as an instructor.
The best way to reach Krista is by email ([email protected]). If you are seeking guidance on a subject thatpertains to overall course questions, please email her and CC your TA, as we are a teaching team.

Complexity Project Rubrics
The Complexity Project is an opportunity for students to assemble in groups to research an issue in our society
and how it shows up in a local context. They will begin to explore the complexity of that issue and thechallenges in advocating an action.
Students will start by choosing a broad issue and gathering initial group members ideas for advocacy.Students will then develop research questions and seek out different lenses of perspective on the issue. Theywill continue to research and do professional one-to-ones with individuals connected with the issue on a locallevel. Through the research students may find the focus becomes more distinct and particular than the originalresearch questions.
The research and research process will inform the students report. applying aspects of Peter Blocksconversations found in Community: The Structure of Belonging. These conversations include Invitation,Possibility, Ownership, Dissent, Commitment, and Gifts. Students should seriously consider researching
writing about a topic they might pursue beyond a classroom setting. The potential for building relationships withinterviews connected to this topic is ripe.
The focus of this project is inquiry rather than execution of advocacy. The outcome of this project is not to finda solution but to better understand the complexity to find a path to new possibilities. Our hope is you begin torealize that the world is bigger than you, in terms of your own perspective and interest.
Keep also in mind the concept of ubuntu as you move through this project as working together, creating bestpractices of collaborating, and setting expectations will serve you well.
Annotated Bibliography (40 individual points):
Each student, in his/her/their respective complexity group, must create an individual annotated bibliography.Each annotated bibliography must contain four articles that differ from the articles in another group membersannotated bibliography. If two or more members of a group cite the same article, the article is not counted inthe assessment for either of the students. You are encouraged to collaborate and share knowledge to ensurethis does not happen.
The articles researched must be from academic peer reviewed journals. We will discuss in class the types ofarticles that are appropriate as well as discuss effective research using University of Minnesota Library tools. Each group member will individually submit an annotated bibliography of those academic resources. Thesubmission will be graded, first, on clear and relevant citations in the style selected by the student submittingthe work. At the top of the annotated bibliography, the student must state:
- Name- Course Number and Section- Chosen Style of Citation that will be used in the work (APA, MLA, or Chicago Style)and please note, yourinstructor is an expert on APA, so if you are seeking to advance your use of a particular style (to get better andreceive great feedback), please use APA. However, as a published author and English major, your instructor isalso okay at MLA and Chicago too.

Professional One-to-Ones (45 points)
Students will individually complete three one-to-ones with individuals who are connected to the complexityproject. Guidelines for these one-to-ones include:
Students must conduct one-to-ones with stakeholders who have distinct connections to their complexityproject and some element of authority on the subject. Each one-to-one subject the student speaks to must have a lens or organization they are affiliated with
which is different from his/her two other subjects. However, fellow group members may complete one-to-ones with different subjects who are affiliated with the same lens or organization.
Students should come in having completed some academic research and informed other groupmembers about their one-to-one subjects.
One-to-ones must happen in person. Exceptions for phone or video messaging can be made if mobilityis limited (however, the instructor must be notified).

Students will incorporate information gained from each one-to-one into their final project. Each student willseparately submit debriefs of the one-to-ones and write 200-300 words for each one-to-one subject. Each willbe graded on the following criteria:
Identifying the person. (5 points for each one-to-one)o Note the persons connection to your complexity project. Describe the individuals authority on
the subject.o Identify this individuals self-interest and/or passions around the complexity project issue. What
sparked this and why are they still involved? Summary of information gained (5 points for each one-to-one)
o What information helped add a new insight to your project?o How did their insight validate or invalidate other findings by the group?
Proof of one-to-one (5 points for each one-to-one)o Proof must be included that the one-to-one occurred in the submitted document. (Can included
screen shot of email confirming meeting, scan of a business card, etc.)Note: As a best practice, we greatly encourage you to write a thank you note to all one-to-one contactsthanking them for their time and insight on this project. Whether by email or by paper, acknowledging the gift oftheir time is important. Relationships are the currency of power and, as this is a project about passions, wehope that you will share your final product with your one-to-one contact.
Draft of Complexity Paper (15 points):
In turning in this draft you are expected to have declared, as a group, one agreed upon citation style. With thisdraft, you are expected to have met all of the parameters of the assignment for the final product. It will beassessed as if it were a final product with notes given back to the groups. The group will have two options ofhow it would like the draft to be scored.
1. The group may have the assignment scored on regular parameters that correlate with the final productand then translate that percentage out of points.
2. The group may choose to receive all 15 of the points if they receive a 73% or above based on thecriteria final product rubrics. If the draft does not meet the 73% threshold, then no points are awarded.
Each group must submit in writing which option they would prefer two weeks before the due date.
Final Complexity Paper (150 points):
The final product will be a narrative report on the complexity of this issue. This product should be thought of asa document aimed for a reader with little to no background on your subject.

Two Communities Rubrics
In the Two Communities project, you will be building off of your previous work understanding the myriad ways
communities work and function. For this project, you will meet with two community stakeholders (you willbrainstorm connections that our community already has to other communities during class). Thesestakeholders will serve as a bridge into two communities that your group will seek to understand. Your goalwill be to practice observation and produce interpretations of those observations.
Coming in RightIn choosing two communities, groups will choose one one-campus community and another off-campuscommunity. You will choose communities where you have a group member who has an existing relationshipwith or would identify as a part of that community (known as your student liaison). You may have one groupmember serve as a student liaison for the on-campus community and another group member serve as studentliaison for the off-campus community.You will consider and ask how to come in right to the communities youare engaging. You will then enter the community to gather observations and experience what the community is
like. The end result of this project will be to develop a written report of your observations and interpretationsand to create a presentation that shares these thoughts while connecting your experiences to conceptsexplored in Peter Blocks Community.
Your process will include:Research the background of the community. Discuss with the respective student liaisons of the group how theyidentify with the community and what is their personal history with the community. Review external resourcessuch as academic articles, organizational charts, or websites connected to the community to enhance yourunderstanding of the group.Interview (one-to-one with one stakeholder from each community)
Identify one group member, not the student liaison, to conduct the one-to-one with a stakeholder. Conduct the one-on-one, utilizing both the prescribed questions distributed by the instructor(s) and the
questions brainstormed in class, and any additional questions that may be identified by the group touncover the essential information needed in order to come in right.
Report back to the group what you learned during the one-to-one and together discuss how you will usethe information when observing the communities.
Observation and InterpretationOver the course of the Two Communities Project, representatives of your group will be expected to attendthree gatherings of each of the two communities you have chosen.At least two group members need to be inattendance for each event. Each group member must attend at least one event of each community.

The gatherings of the communities must be at least one hour long. These could be meetings, practices,celebrations, ceremonies, or other appropriate intentional gatherings. During these gatherings, observe thecommunity and take notes using the observation method practiced in class. Take notes about what you heard,saw, noticed, and separately note what your interpretation of these events are or what they could be. After yourevent(s), communicate with other team members that were there to establish a collective understanding ofwhat was observed and interpreted. This will support the development of a stronger written report andpresentation.
Stakeholder One to Ones Written Debrief (20 Team Points)
Your written work in this project will include multiple components.The first component will be a written debrief of the one-to-ones conducted with the community stakeholders.You should ideally complete this one to one before beginning your observations. Please note this should be awritten summary and not a transcript of the conversation (2-3 pages each) (10 points each).
Describe the stakeholder and what authority and role they have within the community?
List which of your group members were in attendance. What meaningful insights did the stakeholder provide in response to the prescribed questions
determined by the instructors and class? How did the community stakeholder help prepare you to come in right?
Stakeholder One-to-One Written Debrief(One debrief for each community for a total of two debriefs, 10points each)
0-4 Points 5-9 Points 10 Points
Minimal attention is given to therequired components of theassignment.
Somewhat significant attention has beenpaid to the required components of theassignment.
All points components of theassignment are thoroughlyaddressed
Note: As a best practice, we greatly encourage you to write a thank you note to all one-to-one contactsthanking them for their time and insight on this project.
Observation and Interpretation Written Report (60 Team Points)
The written report template provided will have six sections (one section for each event your group attended).Each section should list the title of the event you attended (for instance, Off-Campus Board Meeting), alongwith a brief summary, 100 words, of the purpose, setting, and participants connected to the event.. You willalso list your group members in attendance for each event. For each section you will include two columns, onefor written observations and the other for interpretations from your group members. (60 points total)
For each event, group members who attended that event will communicate their observations andinterpretations to one another and create one collaborative entry detailing the observations andinterpretations for that event.
The observation entries should be at least 150 words in length describing details with little to nointerpretation. They should be noted in the specific section for their gathering and you may note whichgroup member is making the observation.
The interpretation entries should be at least 150 words in length noting initial interpretations of theevent and what other interpretations might be possible based on evidence. It is important thatInterpretations should correspond with their observations, so the entry should clearly connect how thisinterpretation is being made. Again, the interpretations should be noted in the specific section for theirgathering and it may be noted which group member is making the observation
