Each student will perform a 360 leadership assessment on a leader. This will involve performing an interview for a leader and separately interviewing at least 2 subordinates and either a superior or peer of the leader. The student should develop interview questions using information that may be taken from the self-assessments performed for your self-assessment, and your own brainstorming, but should be probing and open-ended since the interviewees may not be familiar with the particular terms and definitions used in the leadership literature. The interview assignments may be conducted either in person or over the phone. Once the interviews have been conducted, the student should report on their interviews, integrate their findings, assess her/his leadership style (strengths, weaknesses, etc..), and include recommendations as to how the leader might improve their abilities. The paper should include some discussion of the organizational context within which the individual works (size, scope of their leadership responsibilities, number of subordinates, etc…). The paper should include a comprehensive listing of the questions that were used in the interview process. It is NOT recommended that the results of this assignment be returned to the individual, and it should be explained to the participants that their input would be used only for the purposes of your assignment and all names withheld. The paper should be between five & eight pages in length (double-spaced, with a 12-point font, not including the cover sheet (if included) or the list of questions used in the interviews).

Appendix (optional section)
Consulted or Recommended Sources
Guidelines
Some of the information reported below (and more) can be found here: https://writingcenter.unc.edu/tips-and-tools/policy-briefs/
Your policy brief must include the following sections:
TITLE: A good title quickly communicates the contents of the brief in a memorable way
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: It includes an overview of the problem and the proposed policy action. This section is one to two paragraphs long. In any case, it should be no longer than half a page. This section is single-spaced. This section is not included in the 5-page count.
CONTEXT OR SCOPE OF PROBLEM: This section communicates the importance of the problem and aims to convince the reader of the necessity of policy action.
POLICY ALTERNATIVES: This section discusses the current policy approach and explains proposed options. It should be fair and accurate while convincing the reader why the policy action proposed in the brief is the most desirable.
POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS: This section contains the most detailed explanation of the concrete steps to be taken to address the policy issue.
[OPTIONAL] APPENDIX: This section is optional. You may or may not include it. If you do include it, this section does not count toward the 5-page limit. If some readers might need further support in order to accept your argument but doing so in the brief itself might derail the conversation for other readers, you might include the extra information in an appendix.
CONSULTED OR RECOMMENDED SOURCES: These should be reliable sources that you have used throughout your brief to guide your policy discussion and recommendations.
Background information
Some background considerations to keep in mind when writing a policy brief:
What are policy briefs? A policy brief presents a concise summary of information that can help readers understand, and likely make decisions about, government policies. Policy briefs give objective summaries of relevant research, suggest possible policy options, and argue for particular courses of action
Who is the audience? Policy briefs are usually created for a reader or policy maker who has a stake in the issue that youre discussing
What is the purpose? Policy briefs are distinctive in their focus on communicating the practical implications of research to a specific audience. Your policy brief will synthesize scientific findings, but will deploy them for a very specific purpose: to help readers decide what they should do
How do I identify a problem for my policy brief? An effective policy brief must propose a solution to a well-defined problem that can be addressed at the level of policy. The key is that you define the problem and its contributing factors as specifically as possible so that some sort of concrete policy action is feasible. For example, bad spending habits might be an important problem, but you cant simply implement a policy to make better financial decisions. In order to make it the subject of a policy brief, youll need to look for research on the topic and narrow it down. Is the problem a lack of financial education, predatory lending practices, dishonest advertising, or something else? Narrowing to one of these (and perhaps further) would allow you to write a brief that can propose concrete policy action
How do I frame the issue? Your own process of identifying the problem likely had some stops, starts, and dead-ends, but your goal in framing the issue for your reader is to provide the most direct path to understanding the problem and the proposed policy change. Here are some questions you might want to consider:
o What is the problem? Understanding what the problem is, in the clearest terms possible, will give your reader a reference point. Every piece of information in the brief should be clearly and easily connected to the problem
o What is the scope of the problem? Knowing the extent of the problem helps to frame the policy issue for your reader. Is the problem national, or international? How many people does this issue affect? Daily? Annually? This is a great place for any statistical information you may have gathered through your research
o Who are the stakeholders? Who does this issue affect? The primary group being affected is important, and knowing who this group is allows the reader to assign a face to the policy issue.
Length and Formatting Requirements:
at least two full pages of text, no more than three (excluding heading/title)
double-spaced
professional, 12-point font (EX: Times New Roman)
1-inch margins
no extra spaces between paragraphs
italicize artworks titles (EX: Van Goghs Starry Night)
Use third-person narrative to keep tone objective and formal
On a separate page at the end of the essay, include an image of the artwork with an appropriate caption that identifies, artist, title, date, and location
Objective: A visual analysis is the result of closely looking at the visual elements of an artwork (composition, line, shape, color, space, scale, texture, value contrast, etc.) and interpreting their effects to suggest plausible meaning. This essay requires thorough observation and careful word choices to demonstrate how intended meanings are communicated through aesthetic objects.
Students will select an artwork of their choice and determine which visual elements are most compelling. They must not only describe what is represented, but also analyze how these elements affect the artworks meaning. Be sure to use accurate art vocabulary. For this assignment, discussion of historical context is unnecessary.
Here is a brief list of questions to help your critical analysis. Please note that this is NOT a comprehensive list, and not all of these points will relate to your topic:
Space: How do form and space interact? Does the work use systems to create the illusion of space, or is space flat? Is the figure meant to be seen in space from a particular view? Is it frontal? Does it turn in space? Can its composition be fully appreciated and understood from one vantage point, or does it require more? How do these points impact meaning?
Line and Shape: Is there linear emphasis on the surface of the object? Are the dominant linear elements seen in the forms themselves or are they incised in the surface of the forms? Describe the character of the lines: Primarily horizontal, vertical, diagonal, smooth and flowing? Do lines direct the way in which one reads the work? How does the artist use shapes to suggest meaning?
Light: Describe the lighting effects. How does light affect the work? Are the forms and surfaces arranged so that a particular effect of light and shade will be attained? Does light enhance or play against contour?
Color, Surface, and Texture: Consider the surface texture. Is it polished or unpolished? Is texture implied? How does texture affect the the expressive qualities of the work? Consider the color scheme and its effects.
Remember, iconography and subject matter are not visual elements. That said, if the artwork contains important iconography that expresses meaning, how does the artist use specific visual elements to direct viewers attention to these symbolic objects?
Basic Essay Elements:
INTRODUCTION In your introductory paragraph, provide the artist, title, and date of your artwork. Include a brief overview of the main subject or figures (in other words, what are we looking at?). The last line of your essays introductory paragraph must be your thesis statement, which answers the following question: what are the most important compositional elements in this artwork and why?
Remember, a THESIS STATEMENT is an argumentative statement that conveys your essays main idea. A thesis can be somewhat hypothetical, but is defensible with information other than opinion (i.e., visual evidence). The thesis statement suggests the ultimate interpretation that will be proven in the body paragraphs that follow. View this presentation for examples of strong and weak thesis statements for this essay.
BODY Your essays body paragraphs support your thesis statement. Since the primary focus of this essay is an interpretation of the formal elements, these paragraphs will include a combination of description and analysis.
CONCLUSION Revisit your thesis statement (although with different phrasing than when first presented in the introduction). Include a brief summary of the main points you demonstrated in your essay, and end with some final comments about how your insights help us to better understand your artwork.

For my research paper, I would like to expand on the annexation of Texas, filibusters, and their lasting effects. My grandmother is from Texas, her grandmother was born there and I am curious to know how that has impacted them and others like them. Today my grandmother is an avid Trump supporter and thinks that illegal immigrants deserve to be locked in cages. Two important things here, children of immigrants being so colonized they now hate immigration, and how that connects to what happened to them since Mexico became a part of the United States. Mexico lost over half of its land, and those citizens on the land would change forever. Now, having to become American citizens after being trapped in a two long war, Native Mexicans were forced to change their religion, denounce citizenship and fight to become seen as Americans.
I am excited to expand on this connection and hopefully learn more about my heritage.
