Students will need to watch the movie Deep Water Horizon. We will discuss the leadership rolls that took place in an open discussion on the first day of the course.
After watching the film, download and answer the pre-work questions. This exercise is designed to help you analyze decision-making, leadership under pressure, and the complexities of managing high-risk incidents—key components of the S-300 curriculum.
Please complete the prework before the course begins, as it will be discussed during class. If you have any questions or need any assistance, feel free to reach out directly to the instructor.
