experiences and challenges in class. Attendance to both class and Staff Call (part of your overall class seat time)
is essential, and failure to be at class, Staff Call, or Leadership Lab will be noted and impact your performance
as well as grade.
In addition to the basic content, we will explore the basics of a liberal education that is essential to a wellrounded
and intelligent officer. We will also frequently practice the critical skills that I believe are hallmarks of
the Army Officer - critical thinking and problem solving, adapting, communication (both oral and written),
reflection, and learning from experience (application). Many of our exercises and activities will be directly tied
to these areas and the overall course content, and some are designed to expand your skills and knowledge by
exposing you to new and different experiences.
