\nImportance is evident but not
\nvery distinctive; relations are
\nsomewhat clear but lacking.
\nLinking words are difficult to
\nfollow.
\nSub-concepts do not
\nconsistently branch from main
\nidea.
\nRelative importance of ideas is
\nindicated; relationships are
\nmapped.
\nLinking words are clear but present
\na flawed rationale.
\nSub-concepts somewhat branch
\nfrom main idea.
\nRelative importance of ideas is
\nindicated and relationships are very
\neffectively mapped.
\nLinking words easy to follow but at
\ntimes ideas are unclear.
\nMost sub-concepts branch from main
\nidea
\nRelative importance of ideas is
\nindicated and both simple and
\ncomplex relationships are very
\neffectively mapped.
\nLinking words demonstrate
\nsuperior conceptual

\nSub-concepts branch

\nRationale for the Concept Map
\nNovice Apprentice Proficient Distinguished
\nMake little or no connection
\nbetween the main concepts and
\nsub-concepts;
\nArticulates superficial
\nunderstanding of the concepts
\nand their relationships.
\nMakes appropriate but somewhat
\nvague connection between main
\nconcepts and sub-concepts;
\nArticulates limited\/surface
\nunderstanding of the concepts and
\ntheir relationships.
\nMakes appropriate and insightful
\nconnections between main concepts
\nand sub-concepts;
\nArticulates a deep understanding of
\nthe concepts and their relationships.
\nMakes appropriate, insightful
\nand powerful connections
\nbetween main concepts and
\nsub-concepts;
\nArticulates a clear and deep
\nunderstanding of the concepts
\nand their relationships.
\nWriting Quality
\nNovice Apprentice Proficient Distinguished
\nConsiderable difficulty
\nexpressing ideas or descriptions

\nsyntactical, and spelling errors.
\nDifficulty expressing ideas, feelings

\ngrammar, spelling, etc.
\nGood writing style with solid ability to

\nConcept Map and Paper
\nAssignment Content
\nA concept map is a drawing or diagram organizing the mental connections between concepts.<\/p>\n
During the first week of the course, students will develop Concept Map and develop a four to five page paper explaining the concepts and the linking connections within the map. Students are to develop the Concept Map to answer the question: What is Leadership? This paper is intended to challenge students to identify and describe their current assumptions about leadership. Students are to complete this assignment prior to interacting with any of the course materials (e.g., readings) about leadership theory.<\/p>\n
You can access a free, downloadable software package (CMapTools) to create your concept map for this assignment. It can be downloaded at the following URL: http:\/\/cmap.ihmc.us\/download\/. This program is simple and easy to use. Once you have developed the visual diagram of the map, save it and export it into a .jpeg file. It can then be readily inserted into a Word document whereby you will provide the rationale for the concepts and connections. Alternatively, you can simply hand-draw your concept map, take a picture, and insert into a Word document.<\/p>\n

You will develop your concept map to reflect your current understanding of leadership at the beginning of the semester and insert it into the written document for this assignment. We do not presume that you have a detailed knowledge of leadership theories. You are not required to integrate leadership theories or concepts that you expect we will cover during the semester. If you are familiar with popular conceptions of leadership, you are encouraged to incorporate them with relevant citations where appropriate.<\/p>\n
This paper will describe the important concepts and their relationship to one another. You will be evaluated on the quality of the concepts, and linkages you select for your concept map, but, more importantly, on the quality of the rationale you provide to justify the concepts and their relationships.<\/p>\n
This is designed as a way to assess where you currently are in your conceptual understanding of leadership. THERE ARE NO RIGHT ANSWERS, so don’t overthink this at first. Whatever you do will be fine, provided you can accurately articulate in writing why you have developed the concept map the way you have and provided you can demonstrate an attempt at deep thought on the subject.<\/p>\n
