HUMAN 3LM3 - The Art of Leadership: Mentorship

3 unit(s)

Effective leaders possess strong ethical values, emotional and social intelligence, excellent communication skills, and creativity; they have empathy, and are able to influence and inspire through informed, reasoned arguments. This structured course (lectures and experiential learning) provides up-front and on-going training in active leadership and mentorship, using aspects of the learning-centred mentoring paradigm, such as reciprocity, collaboration, and the achievement of mutually-defined goals. Students participate in peer-to-peer mentoring of first year undergraduate students, either in Humanities or in the McMaster English Language Development (MELD) program for international students whose first language is not English. Students document their learning through the Learning Portfolio.
