Hi, Sandra Wang, Xinyi Ye, and Huatian He

Thanks for sharing your ILR draft (pod 6 “Leadership skills – communication” — https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uYmu4oPqkbREK_uqST0SB828ckOSkZBWL3tYK1KhcKY/edit). l reviewed the entire course from the perspective of a business student, and I thought that your works were done clearly. Personally, I am interested in your topic.

Overall, I think that the study design plan in your group conforms to the teaching arrangements. The use of cooperative learning methods can ensure that students/business learners participate in and learn the knowledge brought by teamwork, which is helpful to develop their commercial thinking based on leadership skills. I appreciate your group’s “Topic and activity” because this part is in line with the current concept of open-teaching in business. In addition, I list some good points below:

  1. The overall curriculum framework and rationale are clear
  2. The selection of target groups is reasonable
  3. The fundamental problem setting is attractive with business-inspiring logic

But in terms of details, your group needs to improve the activities and scoring details in the assessment plan. First, I think you should list specific examples, such as 10 authentic leadership communication styles and at least three differences between formal and informal communication in the business context. Second, I think the formative assessment should have scoring details, and you should choose interesting and opening cases in case selection. For specific details, please refer to the Com250 syllabus by Professor Lawrance at the UVIC Business School. In the summative assessment part, I suggest substituting a group business innovation research report for exams. For specific details, please refer to the Com220 syllabus by Professor Sang H. Nam at the UVIC Business School.

Finally, I hope you can refer to my suggestions and make some changes. I sincerely wish to see your revised version. Good luck!
