...OBSERVATION REPORT (Observe – to pay attention to, to perceive or notice, to watch, to recognize or note occurrences, to draw inferences, to remark or comment) The Observation Report is to be the result of an in-person observation made for the purpose of partially fulfilling the requirements of this course, and must include a complete and comprehensive report on any 2.5 hours of observation from the list of choices below, exclusive of breaks and recesses. The observation report shall include the type of observation, the name of the presiding officer, the physical location of the observation, the parties involved, the issues, any decisions made and your personal comments regarding how you “see” the proceedings. Please place emphasis on your personal comments, clearly including what you “bring to the table” (your personal background and why you selected your observation). NOTE: Dr. Flower is the only person who will read your reports. You should, prior to the observation, make notes on your preconceived notions, ideas, and perceptions on what you expect to observe. Your pre-work should then be contrasted or compared with your actual observations. Your “gut” reactions to issues, personalities, competencies and results will most likely be very accurate and should serve as the backbone of your report. DO NOT wait until the last minute to attend the observation since it is common for students to discover the scheduled or planned observation does not take place when the...

...the assignment for Demonstrating Effective Leadership, requires levels of discipline. It also requires a goal focused approach. Discipline is necessary in delegating time to each section of the assignment to ensure that each area is addressed. In addition, setting short term goals to reach each task or areas of the assignment is beneficial. This will keep me focused on my ideas and help me to thoroughly elaborate on the studies of leadership within my profession. There are a few methods I plan to incorporate into the completion of the assignment for unit 4. Investing too much time in a first draft can be a mistake (Capella 2006). Before reviewing the drafting and revising resource from Capella, I had planned to spend most of my time drafting. This resource gave me clarity on why this would not be beneficial or helpful for the completion of the assignment. Next I plan to incorporate ‘the MEAL plan’ (Main Idea, Evidence or Example, Analysis, Link) (Capella 2006). This will be essential in keeping the assignment focused and consistent with the required standards of a graduate level writing assignment. One of the toughest concepts graduate students have comprehending is that their papers should be supported by evidence as opposed to anecdotes or their opinions (Green 2008). Using ‘the MEAL plan’ (Capella 2006) will keep me within the appropriate writing standards. I can also utilize ‘the MEAL plan’ in my professional setting when I have reports to submit for court.

Case No. 07CV69537. CASE SUMMARY: PROCEDURAL POSTURE: Appellant personal injury victim filed suit against appellee store alleging that it was negligent in its cleaning of a coffee spill, upon which she slipped and fell. The store filed a motion for summary judgment. The Warren County Court of Common Pleas (Ohio) granted summary judgment for the store. The victim appealed. OVERVIEW: The victim argued that the trial court erred by failing to consider the incident report and corresponding witness statements. The appellate court held that the trial court did not err by disregarding the document due to its lack of authenticity. There was no indication that the document, purported to be an employee witness statement, was sworn or certified, nor was there any evidence presented to establish its authenticity by affidavit. Further, the incident report, and the alleged corresponding witness statements, did not meet the admissibility requirements of Civ. R. 56, and therefore, were not entitled to consideration by the trial court for summary...
