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 “a dditional 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 e vidence 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.
2. Student will HDF 290 URI 101 Throughout HDF 290 I have learned better skills to manage my work and organization through
demonstrate personal, HDF 417 self-discipline, I also learned this in URI 101. I specifically learned this in URI 101 because this
organizational, and was a mandatory class for me my freshman year and one of the focuses in it was on keeping myself
academic examples of organized and self disciplined. It taught me to stay on top of my work and try my hardest, even if I
self-discipline think I cannot do it, I should still try. In my URI 101 class I actually had to made various “5-day”
plans to keep myself on track, while staying organized and learn better study methods. The 5-day
method really helped me and I still find myself using it today, when using this I stay on track and I
have an easier time retaining the information I am studying instead of cramming everything into
one night. I also show self-discipline because I know right from wrong, this is where it goes back to
my school work, I rather hand in something late than not hand it in at all. Knowing right from
wrong, along with staying organized and doing exactly what I need to do when I need to do it are
some ways I self-discipline myself.
See evidence # 2
During this semester I have learned a lot about myself. One thing I have learned is self-discipline.
Having an internship, a job and being a student is so much t handle, without self discipline I
wouldn’t be able to manage it all. I have to be aware and on top of all of my deadlines and all of my
different schedules. In order for me to stay organized I also need self discipline. I keep a planner
with me and I have a calendar in my phone, and also one hanging up in my room next to my bed.
These all help me stay on top of all of my important dates as well as help me balance work, school
and my internship!

3. Student will HDF 290 Com 221 In Com 221, Interpersonal Communication, I learned a lot about managing my emotions. We
demonstrate the ability HDF 417 watched multiple Ted talks on this and every week we were assigned a different writing assignment
to manage emotions about managing our emotions and what we do wrong and how we can fix it.One of the topics we
talked about were relationships and flooding. Flooding is when someone starts to get angry and they
are not able to control their well being- they start to sweat and yell and their heart rate increases.
We talked about the wrong way we express ourselves and the correct way to express ourselves. The
right way is to walk away when you began to flood during an argument and take a moment for
yourself. You have to take at least a half hour for yourself before approaching the situation again.
We have to boost our awareness of our emotions because if we do not then we will say and do
whatever we want when we are angry or sad. If we do not know how to manage our emotions we
will not be in the right state of mind, we have to be aware of this and others around us so we do not
hurt them by saying something they do not mean. An example of this happening to me was when I
got into an argument with my roommate, before I learned about this I always just ignored my
roommate and did not talk about our problem after all of the yelling but now I walk away from the
situation when I am feeling flooded and I talk about it calmly when we are both in a better mood so
we do not say anything we do not mean.
See evidence #3
I have definitely had to learn to manage my emotions this past semester more than I ever have. I
have underwent so much stress this semester, but I held it together and made it work! I have had a
lot of personal things going on since the semester started, and then throwing all of my school work,
internship work and my work-work on top of that, it was so overwhelming and emotional. I learned
to manage it and balance everything out. One way I managed my stress was by talking about my
stress and my issues to my Talent Development advisors and my friends. I also de-stress myself
from my personal things by focusing on my internship and schoolwork more.
4. Student will HDF 290 Com 221 In Com 221 we recently watched a Ted talk about managing stress and I learned a lot. We created
demonstrate knowledge HDF 417 plans on how to manage our stress. First we had to talk about how we feel about stress and how we
of stress management feel when we are undergoing stress, Next we came up with a “2-week” plan and how to change the
methods way we think about stress. In the Ted talk the women, known as Kelly McGonigal spoke about how
stress is only stress if you think it is, you can turn it into something positive. I stated that I would
smile more often and instead of keeping all of my emotions inside I will talk about them. Talking
about them lifts a weight off of your shoulders and smiling more can actually release things in your
brain that take away stress and put you into a better mood.
See evidence #4
Going off of what I said in the outcome before this about managing my emotions, I managed all of
my stress by talking about it. I went to my Talent Development advisor first and they helped me by
having me speak to another talent development advisor in which I could relate to more and she
helped me a lot. She gave me many different stress management techniques and just talked me
down whenever I was feelings a bit overwhelmed. I also spoke to my friends and they helped
comfort me but I helped myself manage my stress by always making lists and keeping track of what
I had to get done, along with the dates and times I have to get it done and it always worked out in
the end.
See evidence # 4B
5. Student will HDF 417 Modest Culture During my internship at Modest culture this semester I have demonstrated my ability to manage
demonstrate the ability Internship stress. Over the past few years I've worked as many hours as I could while have 6 classes each
to manage stress semester, so since my freshman year I have been balancing a lot on my plate. It was difficult at the
start of the semester having to balance my job, school work, my internship and being in an
organization but I've managed by dropping my organization. I knew I could not handle all of that,
there aren't enough hours in the day, but dropping one thing has given me more time for the other 3
more important things. To manage my stress I bake, I bake things from scratch like cookies, cakes,
etc and it just helps me relax and release all of my stress. I put my school work first, and then my
job and internship are pretty equal because if I don't make my job a priority I can't afford my bills,
and I also cannot put my internship on the back burner because my grade and hands on experience
is on the line.

knowledge of increase your employees' motivation, empowerment, and satisfaction so they become productive
Path-Goal theory by members of the organization. Path-Goal is based on Vroom's (1964) expectancy theory in which an
House individual will act in a certain way based on the expectation that the act will be followed by a given
outcome and on the attractiveness of that outcome to the individual. The path-goal theory was first
introduced by Martin Evans (1970) and then further developed by House (1971). The path-goal theory
can best be thought of as a process in which leaders select specific behaviors that are best suited to the
employees' needs and the working environment so that they may best guide the employees through
their path in the obtainment of their daily work activities (goals) (Northouse, 2013).

Cashman; Graen Although LMX theory has resulted in a number of useful accomplishments, both theoretical and
practical, it still faces a number of challenges. The main challenges are to carry out a thorough and
consistent refinement of the measuring instruments used, and to gain more insight into the mutual
behaviours, attributions, and evaluations which facilitate or inhibit the development of high-quality
working relationships.

At my meetings we usually all start with the supervisor speaking and then we go around in a circle
answering the questions we are asked or following up on other information.
113. Student will show HDF 417 HDF 412 I believe the first step to giving good feedback is honesty. You have to be completely honest and share
knowledge of techniques your thoughts and opinions, if you aren’t then whoever you’re giving feedback to will never get better at
regarding giving and whatever they’re doing or saying. I’ve learned this in my organization, and in my internship. Receiving
accepting of feedback feedback is also the same, I have to be able to understand someone else’s perspective if I don’t I will
never get better or grow as a person.
See evidence # 103
Feedback is an essential part of being an effective leader. You must be able to take criticism and make
changes, and also have the courage to speak the truth. This helps to bring more effective communication
within a group.
114. Student will describe HDF 290 Com 202 In HDF 290 we normally get the chance to speak on certain topics allowing us to get feedback from
examples of giving and Com 208 other students and seeing their perspectives. We also get feedback on all of our papers. In Com 202
accepting feedback. Com 221 (public speaking) every speech we give is recorded, we have to give our own feedback about ourselves
HDF 417 while also getting and giving feedback to other students. In Com 208 (Argumentation and Debate)
HDF 412 whenever we have to debate, we have to take notes and give our competition feedback about the facts
they are stating and also as a judge in Debate we normally have to take notes, and choose the side we
support and state why we chose them while giving feedback to them and their competitor. In Com 221-
interpersonal Communication we have online assignments each week and part of our grade is peer
responses. We have to read someone's work and give them our personal feedback and they have to do
the same for our posts, we have to do it for multiple students each week. In my organization TDSB we
have to hold one on ones. The E-board has to set up lunch dates with the general members and we have
to get feedback from them about how they think we are doing in terms of running the organization and
also on what the think we have to do to improve our organization as a whole. In TDSM we always have
one on one meetings with our producer after we shoot our episodes. These one on ones are for us to give
him feedback on how the shoot went, how we think the reporters did. We also tell him the positives of
the night and the negatives while also stating how we can turn those negatives into positives the next
time.
See evidence #104
In my internship I have a lot of feedback! Whether it was on an idea someone had or even just my
thoughts on a T-shirt or s hat design. I’ve learned to be honest from this but also from my organization,
the talent development student board. I wasn’t being honest in my organization meetings because I never
wanted to put anyone on the spot and I never wanted to hurt anyone’s feelings but as time went on I
noticed no one was improving on their jobs within the organization and it was partly my fault because I
never gave my honest feedback. I started giving it and no one ever took it wrong they just turned it into
motivation to do their jobs better. I received a lot of feedback also in my internship. We can take my
supervisor feedback midway through the semester and at the end of the semester for example I took that
very seriously and turned it into motivation for myself to do better and be better.
REVISION (ADD ON TO ORIGINAL ABOVE)
During module 3, my group and I worked on our powerpoint from our homes, so we were not together
while working on our parts of the presentation. We utilized our group chat to read over everyones parts
of the presentation and we all gave each other positive and negative feedback to better enhance our
presentation and make it flow better.

117. Student will show
knowledge of elements of a
Crucial Conversation and
steps to maintain dialogue
and move to action
(Patterson, McMillian &
Switzler)
118. Student will describe HDF 412 In our first module we had to discuss a difficult dialogue, and I thought of one I am going to have soon. I
examples of engaging in a am going to have to have soon is with one of my roommates. We have not spoken in about two months,
Crucial Conversation so things tend to get awkward. I can walk into the house and say hello and my roommate chooses to just
ignore me and act like I am not there. We had an argument two months ago, that started with a simple
statement I had made. I simply told her through text that I would not be going food shopping with her
anymore, and I had told her I was not going to be buying food with her anymore. I explained that I am
never home and how I always eat at work, so there would essentially be no point in wasting my money
on food I was not going to eat. After I said this my roommate blew up through text and just went off
about how I should have told her sooner and from that point on she just completely started to ignore me.
We do not speak in person but if I say something in our group chat she responds back very hostile, and I
cannot lie I do the same through text. We are very sassy through text, I feel like a conversation needs to
happen between us because things are just really awkward and we are adults. The first step I can make to
repair this relationship would be to “Start with heart” (Patterson, Grenny, & Switzler, 2012). I guess by
my roommate ignoring me when I say hello, I just stopped caring. I should care so I should continue to
say hello. I am also acknowledging that this is not only one persons fault, we both need to take
responsibility. Step two, “Learn to look” (Patterson, Grenny, & Switzler, 2012), my roommate went
straight to silence, as did I after a while of her ignoring me. Step three, “Make it safe” (Patterson,
Grenny, & Switzler, 2012), we should stop being too rude to each other through text message and stop
having an attitude towards each other all of the time Step four “Master my story” (Patterson, Grenny, &
Switzler, 2012). Separating fact from story, I did tell her my reasoning for not wanting to buy food with
her anymore. I gave a real reason and she instantly got upset about it and is channeling her anger into
ignoring me...for two months. Step five, “state my path” (Patterson, Grenny, & Switzler, 2012). My path
is to sit down, with a positive mindset and just talk it out. Just state our feelings on the topic without
yelling or being angry or having an attitude. Step six, “Explore others’ paths” (Patterson, Grenny, &
Switzler, 2012), by doing this I will acknowledge that I should have told her sooner, maybe given her a
heads up that I was thinking about it. I think currently I am avoiding unnecessary agreements, because
the entire situation took a wrong turn for absolutely no reason at all. Step seven, “Move to action”
(Patterson, Grenny, & Switzler, 2012), while we are sitting down talking things out, we can come to a
fair agreement. Yes maybe I do not want to buy food with her, but maybe we can agree to all pitch in
and have a group dinner once a week, or go out to dinner so we can all stay connected. We will follow
up by having the weekly dinner every week, while we are living under the same roof.

meaning of reframing by sociology, psychology, political science, and anthropology into a model which views organizations in
Bolman and Deal four (4) images, i.e. frames captured by distinct [metaphors]: structural [factories or machines], human
resource [families], political [jungles], and symbolic [temples or carnivals, theatres]. Each frame
equates to a mental model. A frame, as imaged under this model, consists of ideas and assumptions
which help the seeker of understanding register and assemble information into a coherent pattern. This
enables one to decipher those clues by getting a more comprehensive picture of what is happening and
what to do. It helps here to think of a frame as having several potential functions: map, tool, lens,
orientation, filter, prism, or perspective.

132. Student will show HDF 412 In HDF 412, we reviewed the Group Development Model. The model has five stages. In the first stage
knowledge of the stages of of Forming, members are practically strangers and have now come together to form a group. The next
group development stage of the model is Storming. In this stage, conflict arises among the group. Usually members in this
(Tuckman/Tuckman & stage view themselves as individuals and struggle to see themselves as part of a team. This can cause a
Jensen, Bennis or others) lot of hostility within the group. After Storming comes the next stage of Norming. At this stage
members are becoming more comfortable with each other and there is less conflict. Group members
begin to come together and work as a team, which leads to the next stage of Performing. In the
Performing stage, the group stops competing for power and use their skills to work together to complete
a goal. The final stage of the model is Adjourning. In the Adjourning stage, the group had fulfilled their
role and part ways in most cases.

138. Student will show HDF 412 For growth to occur, a person needs a balanced amount of challenge and support as appropriate for the
knowledge of the task. Too much support, and the student will never learn what they need to grow and develop. An
Challenge and Support individual cannot grow until they are physically or psychologically ready to grow. There must be a
theory by Sanford, and its proper balance of both challenge and support. It is also important to be aware that the levels of challenge
and support are different for everyone since everyone does not have the same needs. Based on

141. Student will demonstrate HDF 290 Com 202 In my public speaking class two of our main speeches were persuasive and informative speeches. For
proficiency in informative my informative speech i spoke about how you should present yourself on social media and why it is
and persuasive public important to always think about who can see your posts and how you want to be seen. For my persuasive
speaking speech I spoke about why everyone should smile more. By the end of my speech everyone was smiling a
lot more and weeks later I still remind my class to smile every now and then but it isn't really needed
because 90% of the class started smiling more and more each day. In HDF whenever we have our group
discussions we are doing a lot of informing and persuading without even realizing it. We can take all of
our speeches and presentations from the start of the semester, we were all informing the class about
different things. We tend to have various opinions in class and sometimes even small debates so this
tends to be the persuading side of things, like when we were told a scenario and we had to choose a side,
most of the time a few people would switch sides because one of us speaking had persuaded them why
our side was the “right” side.

142. Student will show HDF 290 Com 270 The first step to planning an interview is finding out what you want to talk about so that you can figure
knowledge of planning and out the type of person you would like to interview along with finding that person. In HDF 290 we had to
conducting interviews (as interview someone from a business or organization. In my UCS 270 class we had to find someone in the
the interviewer) profession we see ourselves going into and interview them about their job. I personally feel like the
planning of the interviewing process is a lot more important than the interview itself. If you do not
choose the right person to interview, then there is no point in the interview. If you do not plan
everything out like the questions you would like to ask for example then you’re going to go in there
blindsided and unprepared, which is very unprofessional and you will come out looking stupid without
all of the information you needed. It just makes you look bad. One thing I learned from UCS 270 was
that the process before hand was very important, even the email you send out to introduce yourself and
why you would like an interview with that person, the first email or call is like the first impression they
get of you so if it isn’t well prepared and well thought out than you might not even get a response back.

interviewer) chose to be local and a women, then I narrowed it down even more by choosing a woman who was a
URI alum. From there I went on to sending my first email explaining who I was, what I wanted and
what I thought I would get out of the interview along with why I needed the interview. From here of
course we planned it and I came ready for a great conversation along with set questions I wanted to get
answered. I made a connection that day while also gaining knowledge on the profession and her personal
experiences.
During my internship I was able to sit in on some interviews and ask questions to prospective models for
the line with my supervisor. We made all of the questions together before the interviews and I sat back
and watched my supervisor ask them all at the beginning and by the end he let me and another intern ask
a few of the questions we created with him.

interviews (as the walking in and shaking hands to the introductions to the questions. He gives me feedback at the end and

question I always ask for them to rephrase it or I ask if I can think about it for a minute.
