I hate writing 50 page papers

[JohnnyCougar]

Single spaced.

20 research articles to be reviewed and tied together.

I am on page 20. I have to make it to page 50 by Wednesday.

It is on transformational leadership.

Goodbye DU until Thursday!

4. I have an essay based on an interview of my dad about the cuban missile

5. I am too old to even think about it anymore.

Those were the days. I recall I once did one on, get this, beads. Do not laugh they have been used by every society since time started.

6. OMG I thought that 12 pages was a bit too much

:wow: My economics Professor told our class that he had a wise guy in one of his classes last semester. The guy found a font on the Internet that was real large and he used the font on his report and what he handed in could have fit on one single page.

7. I always thought econ papers were easy to write.

I always struggled with literature. At least with Econ I could run around in circles. Which reminds me of one of my favorite quotes.

"President Harry Truman hated what he termed two-armed economists, those who would advise him first “on the one hand” and then “on the other hand.” Give me a one-armed economist, he demanded, an adviser who wouldn’t waffle."

And now that qoute pisses me off. From here on out it is French Toast and Pancakes.


Wierd: only half my post made it through. Should be OK now.

9. single spaced??

FUCK DUDE, that's INSANE!

[Placebo]

10. Single-Spaced is just absurd.

Both for you to have to type, and the professor to have to read!

12. I got at least 15 single spaced, plus a bunch of pictures

the prof said we couldn't get away with less than 15 pages single spaced, but if we had more than 25, he knows something is wrong...mine has at least 12 illustrations and analyses....I can't wait for THanksgiving break so I can hole up somewhere and finish mine...

[fortyfeetunder]

11. And I thought 25 was a pain

Mine is due in 3 weeks with a ton of analysis ahead. Good luck. Maybe you can get some DU'er to help ya. What's the topic?

[JohnnyCougar]

14. What's your paper about?

Please do tell!

[JohnnyCougar]

16. it is about transformational leadership

for the third time! :P

...and by the way, I'm now on page 43, baby!!!! :bounce:

I predict a DU post-a-thon in about 24 hours! For now, it's back into my studying hole.

[fortyfeetunder]

18. I understand the topic- I was interested in details!!!

I took a class in organizational behavior, and we get fed classes in transformational leadership (we are in the ungodly position of having responsibility without authority)

Glad you are at page 43!!! Will you share your results?

[JohnnyCougar]

21. Details

Basically it is a detailed lit review of the more recent journal articles on the topic. Very broad in scope.

There are four components of transformational leadership (god, I must have typed that phrase 250 times in the last 48 hours):

1. Idealized influence - emphasizes trust, takes stands on difficult issues, presents the followers' most common values. is a role model that generates pride and confidence. charisma.

2. Inspirational motivation - generates and articulates an appealing vision of the future, challenges followers with high standards.

3. Intellectual stimulation - questions old assumptions, encourages others to think from different perspectives

4. Individualized consideration - considers individuals' unique needs and abilities

Transformational leaders are almost always the most effective type of leader. Confirmatory factor analyses have added construct validity to this deliniation of leadership behavior. It applies to all cultures and all levels of leadership.

I think of Bill Clinton and MLK when I think of a transformational leader. They inspere followers to trancend self-interest for the benefit of the group.
