LIFC 501 Case Study: Coaching Clients Through Transition

For the case study assignment, students will write a 5 to 7 page case study paper (with title, abstract, and reference pages.) At least 4 scholarly references from within the past 7 years are required. For this written assignment, the student will identify two challenging transitions that people often go through at some point in their lives and explain how a coach could help individuals through such transitions. The student will also address how the topics and approaches covered will impact the student’s coaching ministry/business as well as the student’s personal life.

LIFC 501 Exams (2)

Students will complete two exams that are cumulative and cover the material presented in the lecture presentations and class readings in the weekly modules of Blackboard. Each exam is open book/open notes and 20 short-answer and two essay questions. Each exam can be completed throughout the four-week period and consequently does not need to be completed in one sitting. Students need to respond to each question in complete sentences.
