Regular journal entries. Students are expected to maintain a journal filled with regular entries reflecting on classes, events and activities related to Student Life and MAC Leadership.

As the Project Manager, they will be responsible for every aspect of the event, from managing their peers, to advertising. A successful project will also include a documented step-by-step package which can serve as a guide for next year's leadership students.
Participation: 20% - In order to ensure the success of each project, every student in the class is expected to take an active role in planned activities. Absence of any activity should be reported to the Project Manager(s) AND Mr. Chang.
