The MCOD model consists of three main categories, and these categories are monocultural, transitional, and multicultural. Monocultural is expressing
almost a favor or bias towards one group or culture. Transitional is moving towards that idea of including other groups and cultures, but trying to have
that express the culture of that one group that the organization is in favor off. Multicultural is valuing the different identities and cultures of other
groups and trying to incorporate those ideas in that organization. Each of these categories have different subcategories that basically highlights what
these organizations carry out in these “steps” or “titles”. Exclusionary and Passive Club are the two subcategories in the monocultural portion.
Exclusionary is excluding those who are not in favor or as passionate about their group or its values from their mission. Passive Club is passively and
actively excluding others and only including those who they think fit into their group. Compliance and Positive Action are the two subcategories in the
transitional portion. Compliance is the act of stating to include others , only a few, but not pushing towards making big changes. Positive Action is
taking the effort to bring others from different groups into that organization with also taking into mind the differences. Redefining and Multicultural are
the two subcategories in the multicultural portion. Redefining is basically involving everyone regardless of styles or culture and working towards
creating a new and more positive definition behind inclusion. Multicultural is creating that diversity by representing individuals along with their different
cultures and perspectives.
SECTION 4: Critical Thinking
(Outcome 102): Student will show knowledge of at least five decision making
methods
Efficient problem solving is very beneficial when it comes to making the right decisions as well as the most ethical ones especially in regards to
leadership. Being able to have the ability to make the best choices in different situations can bring nothing but positive and impactful outcomes. Five
different decision making methods in order are first to identify the problem, analyze the problem, identify decision criteria, develop multiple solutions,
and lastly to choose the optimal solution.
By starting the process by identifying the problem is very important because one must make sure that they are trying to solve the right problem. This
can be carried out by asking questions and observing. Basically, active listening skills can be very helpful in this stage. Next, there’s analyzing the
problem. This relates mainly to deeply observing the problem, and focusing on how severe it is and what components or circumstances are consistent
in the problem. After, there’s identifying the decision criteria. This refers to the idea of what concepts and areas should the decision cover. In other
words, just being aware and having knowledge of what areas need to be addressed before making that decision to making sure that it solves the
problem. Developing multiple solutions comes next. This is just having multiple options and coming up with more than one solution rather than just
stopping at the first because it helps to see perspectives. It also aids in potentially coming across easier routes to making that decision. Lastly, there’s
choosing the optimal solution. It brings the whole process together ad a whole and using these steps can assure that us as leaders make the best
decisions, not just for us but for others as well.
SECTION 5: (Interpersonal and Organizational Concepts and Skills )
(Outcome 141): Student will demonstrate proficiency in informative and persuasive
public speaking
In COM 100, public speaking was one of the chapters that we focused on where were learned certain elements that made a
great presentation and also some things that made a terrible presentation. It’s clear that public speaking is something that is
terrifying for so many people, but it can be overcome with confidence and practice. Also, some techniques that are useful to
have a successful speech are organizing main points, creating outlines, and most importantly practicing.
Public speaking is something that I had huge trouble in because I wasn’t a fan of being the center of attention and speaking
in front of people that I didn't know. I would get so nervous that it would cause me to be monotone, play with my hands, and
shake. After learning the different things that help to make a great presentation, I have been able to grow as a public
speaker. I feel as though most of my issues came from lack of confidence and practice which are crucial to providing a great
speech, so by taking those into account I’ve been able to move from a bad public speaker to one that is constantly growing
and learning new things. Also, the information that I have learned in my classes on public speaking, and the criticism or
advice I have received from my professors has helped me to make changes and practice to be better for next time.
As I am constantly giving presentations whether it was informative speeches in COM 100 or presentation in my biomedical
engineering seminar (BME 181), I constantly use that to my advantage as it provides a sense of practice to further
developing my public speaking skills. From that, I feel as though I have grown as a public speaker because of the fact that I
am more willing to go first or volunteer when giving speeches or presentations, I go up there with more confidence and less
fear, and I have a full understanding of the material that helps to inform or persuade my audience.
