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.

Outcome Target class Additional Experiences Descriptive notes regarding learning and practice

1. Student will demonstrate autonomy and a


minimized need for approval

2. Student will demonstrate personal,


organizational, and academic examples of
self-discipline

3. Student will demonstrate the ability to


manage emotions

4. Student will demonstrate knowledge of


stress management methods

5. Student will demonstrate the ability to Spin class Everyone manages stress differently. Personally, first and foremost, I make sure that I am
manage stress organized because I know that I will not get my work done if I am not organized which would then lead
to unnecessary stress. In my school life, I stay organized by always having a running list of what I
need to do, when assignments are due, and anything else such as meetings coming up on my
calendar. Additionally, I keep an accordion folder, wherein each of my classes has a section, and will
periodically empty out all of my folders and binders so that my backpack is not cluttered with papers. I
also keep my desk and workspaces very clean and organized as well. By doing all of this, I can avert
some stress in my school life. Another way that I manage stress is to simply take some time for myself
and take breaks from school work. What I usually do is go to the gym to relieve some stress and just
not think about all the things that I still need to get done. I love going to the spin classes that the gym
offers and try to go almost everyday, not just for the work out but also because I like having a routine
which makes me feel more organized and prepared for what’s next. The spin classes also really
encourage that you forget about all of your class work, and focus on yourself and your well-being
which I find is a great message. I also grew up playing sports and being active year-round until the
end of high school and not exercising or being active on a regular basis just isn't normal for me, so I
feel some comfort in keeping that in my life. I believe that I have been pretty successful in managing
my stress so far and am happy to say that my mental health has not been affected by the sudden
increase in workload that I experienced when starting college, which is thanks to the methods I
employ to manage stress. (SEE evidence #18)

13. Student will show knowledge of the AP Psychology In high school, I took an AP Psychology class in which we learned about all sorts of different
“Hierarchy of Needs” theory by Maslow psychological theories. Maslow’s motivational theory, which is called the, “Hierarchy of Needs”, is a
pyramid made up of five tiers of human needs in hierarchical order from basic physical needs, to
psychological needs, to self-fulfillment needs (Mcleod, 2017).
These five tiers include; physiological needs, safety needs, belongingness and love needs, esteem
needs, and finally, self-actualization. Physiological needs include having good access to food and
water, warmth, shelter, rest, clothing, and reproduction. Once a person’s physiological needs have
been met, they will next prioritize their safety needs and think about their general well-being such as
sense of security, employment, and health. After their safety needs have been fulfilled, people will
begin to search for a place they belong, acceptance, and through intimate relationships and friends
which is the need of belongingness and love. Next, a person works on their esteem needs which
includes feeling accomplished, respected, self-esteem, freedom and a certain level of prestige in
what they are doing. Finally, at the top of the pyramid is self-actualization which is when a person
achieves, in their eyes, their full potential and a desire to become the best that one can be which can
include creative activities. The first four levels of the pyramid (physiological, safety, belongingness and
love, and esteem needs) are referred to as deficiency needs which arise due to deprivation and
motivate people when they are not fulfilled. In the deficiency levels, motivation to go further decreases
as needs are met. The top level of self-actualization is known as growth or being needs in which
motivation becomes stronger as needs are met and self-actualization has been engaged. It is
important to note that a deficit need does not need to be 100% satisfied, when it has been “more or
less satisfied” then the person can move on to fulfilling their other needs. Additionally, this order of
needs can be flexible and different for everyone based on external circumstances and individual
differences. (SEE Evidence #11)

14. Student will show application of Maslow’s AP Psychology In high school, I took AP Psychology in which I learned about Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs”
theory to own life theory. I notice the application on Maslow’s theory in my life beginning at he stage of belongingness
and love. All of my life, the first two stages of the theory (physiological and safety needs) have been
supplied to me by my parents, so I haven't been on my own in those areas. However after those two
stages have been satisfied, a person looks next for love and belongingness which I have certainly
noticed myself doing throughout my life. More specifically, I have seen this process in my school life
and the group of people that I choose to surround myself with. Everyone wants to find a place where
they have a group of friends or community that they identify with or belong to. In elementary school, I
made close friends with the other kids in my french immersion program and stuck to that group the
entire time because I felt accepted and a part of that community. We didn't really associate much with
the other students who were not in the immersion program. Middle school was a little bit different
because not all of my classes were with the exact same people. I was forced to meet new people, but
again, I found my niche of people that I felt comfortable with. Going into high school, I was nervous
because I only had one friend going in and was fearful that I wouldn’t be able to make more and find
my group, however I made friends very quickly and found a group of close-knit friends who I have a lot
of love for and who made my whole high school experience much more enjoyable. When I had
decided to make the 8 hour move to Rhode Island of course I was terrified. I was scared that I would
make absolutely no friends and not find my place on campus. Fortunately, I have truly found my home
here and I feel that I don’t belong to just one group or organization because I have met so many
different people who are involve in a multitude of different things on campus. Joining the tour guiding
team was also one of the best things that happened to me because it is an amazing group of students
that have accepted me and allowed me to flourish. (SEE evidence #16)

Leadership Inventory Revised 08/22/2017 !10


17. Student will describe StrengthsQuest HDF 190 Tour guide In HDF 190, I took the Gallup’s StrengthsQuest assessment. By taking Gallup’s StrengthsQuest for
Signature Themes, shadow side of my HDF 190 class, I found out that my top five strengths were competition, achiever, focus,
Strengths and/or weaknesses, and significance, and analytical. I don’t think that I could have described myself better. I have always been
examples of application (Source = Gallup) a competitive person whether it’s in athletics, academics, or my personal life. I do like to win against
other people but it’s more than that; I view myself as my main competitor and constantly strive to do
better and improve myself. I also think that my competitiveness fuels my drive, ambition, as well as my
achiever strength. Because of how competitive I am with myself and others, I strive for success. I
have always been very driven and focused because I do want to perform well and, yes, outperform
others. I have noticed that my analytical strength plays a big role in my life as well. I take calculated
steps that will help me achieve my goals no matter what the nature of the situation is. My strength of
significance also helps me strive to do my best because I also want to set a good example in the eyes
of others.
These strengths do a good job of accurately describing my leadership style, especially my achiever
and focus strengths.. For example, in a group work setting, I’m the person to get the ball rolling and
organize when and where we would meet. My focus strength helps the group stay on track, if we talk
off topic for too long, I will bring everyone back.
An example of how my competition, achiever, and focus helps me succeed is in tour guiding. I am
still in training and we get evaluated during our “mock tours.” When I found out that we would actually
be getting a percentage grade for our tours my mindset changed a little bit. I wanted to get as high a
grade as possible because that’s what I gear for in any classroom-like setting. There are also other
tour guides getting graded as well which is where my competition kicked in a little bit and helped me
achieve the scores that I got. But I also want to be an awesome tour guide so and my achiever and
focus strengths will help guide me there as well.
When I first saw my results I thought that they portrayed me as a really intense person in sort of a
negative way, especially since I had competition as my number one strength. But after reflecting for a
little while I’ve come to realize that these strengths have helped me be successful so far in my life and
I use them to better myself and try to help others as well. (SEE Evidence #1)

27. Student will show knowledge of the HDF 190 DRIVE MOP In my HDF 190 class we learned about the Servant-Leadership Model coined by Robert K.
“Servant Leadership” theory of leadership Greenleaf in the 1970s who said that, “It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to
by Greenleaf serve” (Greenleaf, 2008). True leadership first comes from a desire to serve, leave your mark and
empower others by setting an example and opening doors for them. Servant leadership comes
through practice, time, and can come in all different forms, big or small. Additionally in servant
leadership, it is important that everyone is empowered and through advocating for others, we are also
able to strengthen our own commitment and help further ourselves as leaders as we help others.
Finally, the key to servant leadership is compassion.
There are 10 characteristics of a servant-leader; listening, empathy, healing, awareness,
persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to the growth of people, and
building community. These characteristics also help servant-leaders in being authentic, vulnerable,
accepting, present, and useful. Listening is essential for proper communication and decision making
as well as actively listening to others and acknowledge the ideas of others. Empathy is critical
because it helps leaders empathize with others and help them feel accepted. Being a healer means
that one can recognize their own mistakes and try to work through issues in order to heal and
strengthen relationships. Being aware of yourself and others is important for a servant leader because
they need to be clear on what their own goals are and how they can also best help others. Persuasion
rather than coercion will help in making effective calculated decisions within a group.
Conceptualization means that servant-leaders think beyond the now and take into account the long
term tasks as well as other broader factors. Foresight is related to the latter and enables leaders to
learn from the past, present, and be aware of the future whether it be in making plans or when relating
to someone they are helping. Stewardship is the basis of being a servant; a leaders’ commitment to
serve the needs of others before themselves. Commitment to the growth of people is to take a
personal interest, be encouraging and actively assisting the needs and growth of every individual
within a group. Finally, building a community by showing the way and thereby encouraging and
influencing more servant-leaders to come that will continue the work of service above self.

37. Students will demonstrate knowledge of HDF 190 Leadership crest In my HDF 190 class, we learned about ethical leadership which is knowing your core values and
the “4 V’s” theory of leadership by Grace VIA values using them towards a common good. The 4 V’s in the 4-V Model of Ethical Leadership stand for
(Center for Ethical Leadership) Values, Vision, Voice, and Virtue, which was created by Dr. Bill Grace (Concepts). If we know our
values and what we want to change, then we can use those values towards our voice to make that
change.
Of the 4-V’s, value means that once we know what we value and cherish innately, we can begin to
integrate our values into our daily choices to make sure that they are ethical. Next, we must be able to
visualize our actions and plans concerning our service to others. We also need to be able to use our
voice to properly articulate our ideas and visions to others in a way that will motivate them to take
action as well. Finally, we must behave virtuously and strive to do what is right to even further develop
that character of virtue.
By taking the VIA values survey, I found that my top 5 values were leadership, perseverance,
honesty, humor, and bravery. When applying them to the “4 V’s” of ethical leadership, I think that
honesty, perseverance, and bravery are the most important to me. Honesty is extremely valuable to
me, I was raised to know that honesty is the best policy. Tell the truth and be honest with yourself and
others. I believe that it’s critical for self growth as well as nurturing your relationships with others. In a
social perspective, I think that perseverance is also needed. Fighting for your and others’ rights is
extremely important which is something that needs that dedication and determination in order to
facilitate change and also form a strong bond between those who share a common goal. And in order
for any of this to take place, bravery is needed for people to actually act, and take that first step
towards change. (SEE Evidence #2)

41. Student will show knowledge of the HDF 190 In my HDF 190 class, we learned about the Relational Leadership Model by Komives, McMahon,
“Relational Leadership” model by and Lucas. The Relational Leadership Model is all about “putting others first and the significance of
Komives, McMahon & Lucas positive relationships between participants on the journey to purposeful change” (Regan, 1994). There
are three basic principles of Relational Leadership; knowing, being, and doing which are important
factors in forming our relational leadership identity. The theory is also made up of five main
components of relationship building and leadership; inclusiveness, empowerment, ethical, purpose,
and process-oriented. At the center of the overall process is our purpose which then influences how
we are inclusive, empowering, and ethical which help us be more sensitive to others.
Before we can begin to effect change, lead ourselves and others, you must first be knowing of
yourself, understand how change is able to occur and accept that others may view things differently
than you do. Being able to know yourself and engage in learning new information will help you
develop the skills required in the role that you play. Secondly, believing and being aware as well as
open to difference and value the different perspectives of others is important in being ethical and
principles as well as inclusive. Finally, doing and acting on your passions in a responsible way can
help generate effective civil discourse as well as facilitate coalition building and build interpersonal
skills.
Starting with the center of the Relational Leadership Model, a purpose is finding a common goal
and vision with those around you and then committing to that end goal whether it be a group project or
even social change. That purpose must be inclusive, empowering, and ethical towards others and
perhaps those we are trying to help. We can be inclusive by valuing and engaging all different aspects
of diversity which involves people from all walks of life so that everyone can contribute their own
unique strengths, values, ideas and talents to a group. Next, empowerment on self and others to get
involved and actively engage in whatever the task at hand is helps boost morale and create an
expectation of success for the group. Finally, our leadership efforts must be ethical and guided by your
set moral principles and values. We must lead by example and therefore be conscious of our actions
and decisions as well as their potential consequences. These four components of leadership are all
critical parts of the overall process of relational leadership. We have to be aware of group interactions
and the implications it has on the overall group work for effective decision making because team
building is important in maintaining and accomplishing the group’s vision or purpose. (SEE Evidence
#5)

43. Student will show knowledge of the HDF 190 I researched the concept of constructivism independently for my HDF 190 class. It is another
concept of constructivism model of leadership in which a leader’s actions are able to create a trusting environment that helps
people realize their full potential, creates meaning and new actions based on purposeful intentions
(Lynch, 2016). This type of leadership is commonly seen, and very important in, a school and learning
environment. A constructivist leader should base their learning environment and teaching skills on
their passion, unique perceptions and insights, the community they work for, their authentic work
ethics, and fair assessment of progress. The community which a constructivist leader is serving is also
extremely important because sharing memories that the community has endured together can help
conceptualize work and fuel effective change. Leaders who are constructivists also know to listen to
other in order to understand them better as well as their needs. Constructivist leadership extends the
possibility for growth to those who may not have had that opportunity before by creating a trusting
environment and asking essential questions. (SEE evidence #17)

47. Student will show knowledge of the HDF 190 In my HDF 190 class, we learned about the Social Change Model by Astin which is about facilitating
“Social Change Model of Leadership meaningful change and addressing root causes of the problem. There are 7 components of the Social
Development” by Astin et al Change Model; consciousness of self, common purpose, congruence, controversy with civility,
commitment, citizenship, and collaboration. These components can be split between group, individual,
and societal values.
The group values include collaboration, the common purpose, and controversy with civility. When
working in a group to achieve a common purpose/vision, collaboration and controversy with civility are
needed in order to work together effectively. Working together and sharing your responsibilities,
collaboration, will help you achieve your goals. Additionally, disagreements within a group are
inevitable, controversy w/civility, but we must be aware that others may have different opinions and we
must consider their opinions to let their voice be heard.
The individual values include consciousness of self, congruence, and commitment. These are
important for individuals to be aware of so that they can effectively contribute to a group effort to
created meaningful social change. Citizenship calls for individuals to be able to envision themselves
as an important part of the larger whole. One must also be conscious of themselves, meaning their
personal beliefs and values as well as their emotions. Individuals should also be congruent in their
actions, meaning that they are consistent and purposeful with their intentions. Finally, commitment
means that one should have an emotional passion for the change they are trying to effect and follow
through with their plans to try and create meaningful change.
The three main components of leadership development in this model are the group, the individual,
and society which all in turn affect and influence each other, creating a feedback loop between the
three. When an individual realizes their potential to make meaningful social change, they can then
inspire a group which then affects the larger society and can turn into a larger movement.

48. Student will describe personal HDF 190 Social Change group project For my HDF 190 class we learned about the Social Change model of leadership and then did a
application of the above theory (Astin group social change project. My group chose to participate in an event that was being held on campus
et al) called, “Your Skin Is In” which was a melanoma awareness event.They had organized for a survivor
from the Melanoma Awareness Project to come speak to us about her experience and educate us
about the risks and consequences of melanoma as well as the preventative measures one can take to
reduce your chances of getting melanoma. The Melanoma Awareness Project stresses the need for
positive awareness campaigns to educate people on the dangers of tanning and proper skin care
which is critical for college-aged people who are in the most at-risk age range. The staff at this event
were very knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions and they also had a skin specialist
available who volunteered a machine through which he could look at the skin on our face and see how
damaged by the sun it was. The staff also had “goodies” the that they were handing out such as small
packets of sunscreen, chapstick with SPF and bracelets that turned purple when exposed to harmful
UV rays in order to encourage people to be more mindful of what they are exposing their skin to when
they go out into the sun unprotected. There was also a “No Tanning” pledge that we were encouraged
to sign as well. Finally, we were left with one simple task; spread the word. They wanted us to tell our
friends about the dangers and to remind others that any tan is a bad tan and can get you one step
closer to skin cancer. (SEE evidence #15)

Charismatic leadership of leadership, including charismatic leaders. Charismatic leaders rely on their personalities to sway
the audience and can articulate their visions in a very appealing way (Spahr, 2016). A charismatic
leader relies on their charm and persuasiveness to gain support from his or her target audience and
transform the leaders’ goals into actuality while inspiring others to act on whatever they are advocating
for. According to Ronald E. Riggio, a professor of leadership and organizational psychology at
Claremont McKenna College, charismatic leaders “are both verbally eloquent, but also able to
communicate to followers on a deep, emotional level.” Charismatic leaders are bold, take initiative,
and rally those around them in service of a common goal. Additionally, by using pathos in their speech
methods, charismatic leaders make emotional connections to the people who work for them. These
types of leaders come from all walks of life. A well known example of a charismatic leader is Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. whose speeches ignited the movement for civil rights across the American south and
and the entire country. (SEE evidence #14)

the process towards meaningful change, they must acknowledge that resistance to their efforts may
occur at all levels of that process and be knowledgeable of strategies to help them overcome
resistance. A change agent should also have confidence in their abilities to enact and inspire change
as well as patience because true change is a process that takes time. Furthermore, a change agent
should be willing to step outside his or her comfort zone and have a positive outlook on change and
optimistic about their ability to succeed. Finally, a change agent must be able to influence systems as
well as others to act, properly articulate their vision to others and be willing to take a risk to make a
difference and put others before themselves. With all of these skills, a change agent who is aware,
knowledgeable of the process, and confident in their abilities to be a leader for others to follow suit will
be able to demonstrate effective leadership which can lead to meaningful change and accomplished
goals. (SEE evidence #12)

of critical thinking and fallacies (logic is Critical thinking is being able to think rationally about our actions as well as our beliefs and the ability
used in this minor) to engage in independent and self-reflective thinking (Almossawi, 2016). A person with critical
thinking skills is able to understand logical connections, identify and construct arguments, detect
mistakes in reasoning, solve problems, identify the importance of ideas and reflect on one’s own

Logical fallacies are "common errors in reasoning that will undermine the logic of your
argument” (Almossawi, 2016). They are often identified by a lack of evidence that supports your
claim or argument. Therefore, it is always very important to back up your argument with evidence.
There are many different kinds of logical fallacies, some of which include; circular reasoning, hasty
generalization, and stereotyping, just to name a few. (SEE evidence #19)

109. Student will demonstrate knowledge of HDF 190 Leadership class retreat At the Day of Discovery for my HDF 190 class, our peer leaders taught us about active listening;
active listening techniques what it is, its goal, how to engage, and how to respond. Being an active listener means that you are
encouraging, restating basic ideas, reflecting their feelings, clarifying, and summarizing (McLoughlin,
2016). When encouraging someone to speak, an active listener should make their interest known,
help maintain the conversation by encouraging their partner to continue talking while using a positive-
sounding voice. Some quick phrases one could use to encourage the person they are listening to
include, “I see…”, “That’s interesting…”, and “I understand…”. Restating the basic ideas of the
conversation shows the active listener’s understanding, engagement, and can help check your
interpretation of what they are saying by restating their ideas and placing emphasis on the facts. A
goof phrase to use to restate their ideas are, “In other words, you think…”. Reflecting your
conversation partner’s feelings shows that you are listening and understand their feelings and can
help them evaluate their thoughts by helping them think on it with short replies such as, “You feel
that…” and “You were pretty annoyed by this…”. Clarifying is when the active listening gets additional
fact about the given situation to help them see all sides of the problem by asking specific questions
such as, “Can you clarify that?” and “So in other words, what you’re saying is…” Finally, the last step
of active listening is summarizing in order to review what you have discussed or continue the
discussion by reflecting on the major ideas by saying, “If I understand you, you feel this way about…”.

conversation by encouraging their partner to continue talking while using a positive-sounding voice.
Some quick phrases one could use to encourage the person they are listening to include, “I see…”,

of them comes to me with a problem or something they want to talk about, I find myself saying things
like, “that’s interesting” and “I see…” in order to show that I’m listening and paying attention, but also
allowing them to finish their thoughts and not interrupt them. (SEE Evidence #3)

132. Student will show knowledge of the stages HDF 190 In my HDF 190 class we discussed Tuckman’s stages of group development. There are five stages
of group development (Tuckman/Tuckman of group development which are forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. In the first
& Jensen, Bennis or others) stage of forming, there isn’t much trust within the group yet because there isn’t really any history
between them and the mission is not completely owned by the group. Stage two, storming, is when
individual roles and responsibilities begin to be articulated, agendas are displayed, but problem
solving doesn’t quite work at this stage yet so some anxiety may set on. Stage three, norming, is
when success occurs because the team confidence is high, their purpose is defined and all resources
needed are available. Stage four, performing, is when the team tends to become very motivated, there
is little waste of time and they have an efficient outlook. Finally, stage five, adjourning, is the final
assessment of what the group has accomplished, they begin transition planning and taking a look and
what could have been done better and improved in the future.
We also learned that some groups sizzle after Storming, while some make it all the way to
adjourning. I thought it was interesting how these stages were applied to students’ college experience
and it made a lot of sense and I could also apply it to my experiences so far here at URI. When first
year students first arrive they are in the forming stage because they are thrown into this totally new
environment and don’t know a of of people. After a little bit we move into the storming stage where
we’ve found some friends but it’s still new and we are not totally comfortable with them yet. Then we
move into stage three, norming, where we have adapted to college life for the most part and have a
more solid group of friends. I think of stage four, performing, as the time when we get back from winter
break. We know what needs to be done in order to succeed in our classes and are very efficient. Then
finally, adjourning will occur at the end of the academic year when we reflect on the first year of
college, what went well, what I did well, and goals you have for the next year. (SEE Evidence #4)

133. Student will describe personal examples of HDF 190 Social Change Group Project In my HDF 190 class, we are working on a Social Change Model group project, we chose
group development in use (Tuckman/ Melanoma awareness as our topic and experienced the five stages of Tuckman's Group Development
Tuckman & Jensen, Bennis or others). Model. The stages are forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Forming began the
first day we met in class as a group after the project was introduced. We hadn’t worked as a group
before, didn’t know each other too well or how each individual worked in a group and there was
minimal trust. We just established how everyone would contribute to each part of the project, as this is
what happens in the forming stage of the model. Storming occurred when we were working out the
more specific details and responsibilities everyone would have. There were some issues about who
would do what. We also faced some difficulties when selecting a date because a lot of us had
conflicting schedules. It took some time, but we settled on Melanoma Awareness on March 23rd. The
third stage, norming, began when we met outside of class for the first time. We got to know each other
a little bit more and became comfortable with one another and clearly outlined our process and final
goal for the project and were also able to get a lot of work done. Performing would be attending the
actual event for melanoma awareness and from there on completing the rest of the project and
reporting back on our experience with very little waste of time in order to recount the most accurate
details of our experience. Finally, adjourning is when we present our video and experience to the
class, answer any questions and reflect of what we could have perhaps done differently throughout
the whole process. (SEE Evidence #7)

140. Student will show knowledge of the COM 100H Tour Guiding (informative) I took a COM 100H class my first semester here at URI in which we learned how to construct and
construction / elements of informative and present informative and persuasive speeches. An informative speech involves a speaker informing
persuasive speeches their audience on something they are knowledgeable about. A persuasive speech is one in which the
speakers attempts to convince the audience to adopt their opinion and can impact the audience’s
attitudes, beliefs, values, and behavior. For both speeches, it is important to know your audience and
cater your speech towards them so that they can comprehend it clearly.
An informative speech can be about things, people, places, methods, events, or ideas/concepts
(Boundless). First comes the introduction which starts with an attention-getting device to grab the
audience’s attention. Next is the thesis statement in which the topic of the speech is introduced to the
audience followed by an outline of your three main points that you will be addressing in your speech.
The body of the informative speech is where you will explain the 3-5 main points you addressed
earlier accompanied by sub-points and examples to give a more in-depth explanation. Finally, a
conclusion in which the main points are summarized, the thesis is restated and then finished with a
personal story or final statement towards the audience.
The structure of a persuasive speech is very similar to that of an informative speech except here,
the speaker should incorporate pathos: appealing to and resonating with the audience’s feelings and
emotions (Boundless) as well as ethos (credibility of speaker) and logos (logical reasoning and
evidence). The audience must feel that the speaker is knowledgeable and credible before he or she
can change their opinion.

141. Student will demonstrate proficiency in HDF 190 Servant Leadership Speech In my HDF 190 class, as our unit assessment for the Social Change Leadership model, I gave an
informative and persuasive public speaking Tour Guiding informative speech to my peers in which I discussed the key points of the model, how it applies my
career aspirations, as well as my Gallup Strengths and VIA Values. My speech was organized into an
introduction in which i introduced myself and previewed the subjects of my speech, followed with a
body containing all of the content and sub-points that i would be talking about, and finally, a
conclusion In which I summed up the main points and thanked my audience. I made sure that I made
eye contact with my audience, spoke loud and clearly so that my information was delivered clearly
throughout the speech. Organization and practice is key when delivering any speech because one
wants to give the impression that you are knowledgeable about the subject which enhance’s the
speakers’ credibility.
I consider my job as a tour guide for the University of Rhode Island to be a form of informative and
persuasive public speaking because I provide information of everything that our amazing school has
to offer with the end goal is of convincing prospective students to choose URI as their home for the
next four years. With practice I believe that I have become quite proficient in this type of public
speaking. In persuasive speaking, it is very important that the audience feels that the speaker is
knowledgable and credible before their opinions can be changed and decisions made. In the eyes of
visitors, I am a credible speaker because I am employed by the university and have a name tag and
uniform that confirm my position and knowledge of the university. (SEE evidence #13)

145. Student will describe personal examples of None Tour Guide At the beginning of the fall semester, I applied to be a Tour Guide. For the first interview, not much
preparing for and being interviewed preparation was needed, I just needed to dress professionally and be confident in myself. Once I was
invited back for a second round interview, there was more preparation needed. We were required to
memorize key points for 4 sections of the tour and would be required to present at least one of them
at the interview. They were Talent Development, Dining, Study Abroad, and Counseling Services.
When I got the email with the information we were to memorize, I annotated it as I would any other
important material for class. I then reworded the material in a way that made sense to me. After I had
read the information a few times, I began testing myself by covering it up and then reciting all of what I
could remember until I knew everything.
The interviews were in groups so there were three other girls in the room at the same time which
made me a little more nervous. Three interviewers, two of which were students, sat across from us
and began by explaining the structure of the interview before we started. They then asked who would
like to recite one of the sections of the tour we had to prepare for first and I instinctively raised my
hand. I was assigned Study Abroad and recited it as if I was on tour. My voiced quivered a little at the
beginning and my palms were sweaty. In the interview I always made sure that I was smiling and
engaged in what the interviewers were saying because I wanted to demonstrate how much I wanted
the position. Looking back I also notice how I used humor, one of my top five values, in the interview
process. When asked to share something interesting about myself, I joked about the time I was almost
run over by a secret service car in my summer pool parking lot, which made the interviewers laugh
and made me feel more confident and comfortable with the whole interview process. (SEE Evidence
