OUTCOMES
In this section, you will track your progress toward the outcomes. Each class in the minor targets different
outcomes; all of the classes list these outcomes on the syllabi (the words “goals” or “curriculum areas” may be
used instead). In many of our classes, the assignments can serve as your evidence. Periodically, and not less
than at the end of each semester, you should update your outcomes progress. In the “additional experiences”
column, name additional classes or experiences that contributed to you becoming proficient in that outcome.
As the semesters pass, you will think of things from recent semesters and semesters further in the past, or people
or jobs, etc. in your past that also influenced your progress on that outcome. Do not let that ambiguity upset
you. Reflecting on development is not a linear process, but it does help to reflect often. In the “descriptive
notes” column, share insights about your growth, lack of progress, successes, stumbling blocks, etc. At the end
of each section, you need to include evidence that supports your development toward the outcomes. Copies of
papers, grading sheets, evaluation letters—anything that shows that someone has determined that you have
demonstrated proficiency (or not, or are making progress). Make sure to keep electronic copies of all of your
evidence to include in your Portfolio.
2. Student will demonstrate HDF190 Welcome Day AT URI we have something called
personal, organizational,
* and academic examples
2023 - URI Welcome day. It is a day for accepted
of self-discipline students, committed or not, to check
out the clubs, organizations, and
opportunities provided by the school.
As a student of HDF190 was given the
opportunity to demonstrate my
personal, organizational, and academic
skills during Welcome day. I got to the
table early, set up the goodies and
informational brochures. I then met and
talked with kids and families about the
minor and its amazing options. For
example, I am in the minor so I knew
mostly about the classes and what the
classes are like, but I did not go to
institute so I tried my best to explain
that or send the people to Samantha
who did go to institute. The day took a
lot of self-discipline as you are on your
feet, reaching out and talking to
hundreds of people, and providing a fun
experience for families/future students.
3. Student will demonstrate URI101 My job – The During my job, you can be harassed,
the ability to manage
emotions
Paper Store cussed out, yelled at, and more. I
cannot show certain emotions during
this time. I cannot yell, tantrum, or get
angry. I can try to stay calm and calm
the person who is being aggressive. For
example, I had a customer yell at me
due to her coupon being expired. At the
Paper Store, we are not able to fix the
expiration date to out the expired
coupon through. Therefore, the
customer was angry at me. I calmly
tried to reason until she left the store. I
did not yell or raise my voice. I showed
incredible management of my
emotions.
4. Student will demonstrate HDF190 Welcome day Pt. In HDF190 I got to experience
knowledge of stress
* management methods
2 groupwork and activities which involved
meeting many people. As an introvert,
that was a stressful experience, but I
would breathe through the anxiety. This
is a similar tactic I used while working
Welcome day for URI. I was at the Table
helping the Center for Student
Development and leadership. I had to
talk to and meet hundreds of people. I
helped explain the Leadership minor
and Institute, a camp like program for
freshmen. It was a stressful day as
someone with social anxiety. At first I
was quiet and barely spoke but I then
found my voice. I loved working on this
day because of the connections and
moments made with future students.
The families would ask all type of
questions. Most families would ask
questions about my personal
experience as a student. I ended up
using breathing techniques to help with
my stress but I eventually was in the
zone. I am very thankful for being able
to work on Welcome day. Thank you!
5. Student will demonstrate WRT104 WRT104 In Wrt104 I have had to work with one
the ability to manage
stress
incredible partner and another less
amazing person. This causes a lot of
stress due to the project being a big
part of our grade. I spend my personal
time to fix or finish his work. He has
barely done anything. I remain calm
when seeing him or working with him. I
learned that talking to him about the
problem would help. This managed my
stress and made me feel more secure in
the project.
6. Student will express a HDF190 PHL 212, In any part of your life, you should be
personal code of
leadership / membership
Scouting, and expressing leadership code and ethics.
ethics work settings For example, at one of my jobs, I am a
type of manager, and when another
employee comes up and tells me
something personal or anything it does
not leave between us unless serious.
That is the ethical thing to do with
someone's information, keep it to
yourself unless it is serious. The things
said within HDF190 groups do not leave
HDf190 groups. That is a good rule to
follow in every aspect of your life.
Another example is in scouting, I used
to be a girl scout and we had an honor
code. The code consists of being kind,
helping, and protecting others. This
meant to be nice to everyone, help
whenever help is needed, and
protecting people from any harm or
danger you could prevent. These are
still my personal codes. These codes are
engrained into my mind and stick with
me during many decisions.
7. Student will demonstrate HDF190 Work – Jennifer’s When I am talking to my bosses about
practice of the personal
code of ethics
Chocolates business, I cannot let that information
leave the stores. I work at Jennifer’s
Chocolates and The Paper Store. These
businesses allow me to handle their
money, personal business, and more. All
of this information must stay
confidential, or I could lose my job. For
example, my boss from The Paper Store
will ask about the registers at Jennifer’s
and I cannot tell her. They are very
protective of the work systems and
trust me to keep their secrets.
8. Student will express a HDF190 HDF and EDC In HDF190, I took the VIA values
personal values
statement (Sources =
classes, exercise, and it gave me Fairness,
VIA, values clarification workplace Honesty, and Judgement. These are
exercises, etc.) settings, and similar. There must be a balance in life,
friendships especially in college: study, work,
schoolwork, personal life, and more.
This balance is hard to find due to the
ever so changing schedules. I work two
different part-time jobs to afford
college, and one of my friends doesn’t
work at all. We have different lifestyles.
For example, she has a lot of free time
to go to parties, hangout with friends,
and do stuff on her own time but I am
working a few days a week and in
school the rest of the time. At first, I did
not find it fair that she didn’t have to
work, and I did. Then I realized my
parents are helping me build credit and
financial dependence.
I believe honesty is the best policy
whether someone will feel bad or not. I
would want someone to be honest with
me if my outfit did not look good. What
is a relationship without honesty? There
is nothing without honesty, it is the
ground of a relationship. For example, I
had gotten a new outfit, it did not
match at all, but I woke up early put it
on and left. I went into my morning lab
and asked my friend if I looked stupid.
She said, “yes you are wearing all bright
pink”. I valued how she told me her
honest opinion; I would rather hear the
truth than someone letting me look
silly. I was not hurt or mad because I
asked for her opinion, I was happy.
