SUBJECT Course Report -- Intelligence in World Affairs No. 7-76
26 April - 14 May 1976
STATINTL
The Intelligence in World Affairs Course No. 7-76 appeared to have
had a very successful running. This is evidenced by both the course
evaluations and the opinion of the course managers. No major administra-
tive problems were encountered during the three weeks. Theoretically this
will be the final running of the Intelligence in World Affairs (IWA) Course
in its present configuration. Tentative plans call for converting the
IWA, retitled "Introduction to CIA," into an Agency orientation course
for new professional employees and shortened to two weeks (see OTR Weekly
Report, dated 7 May 1976.) Because of the tentative plans for redesigning
the IWA, the course manager planned a course to include some of the innova-
tions to be used in forthcoming courses, such as current management concerns,
the Agency and its employees, some mutual obligations. Also the theme of
the intelligence process was factored into the first and second week of the
course. The third week was then dedicated to aspects of world affairs and
selected topical issues.
1. Class Composition
There were 26 class members in this particular running of the
course, distributed among the Directorates as follows:
DDO - 7
DDS&T - 6
DDI - 7
DDA - 4
DCI - 2
They ranged in age from 19 to 45 (average age, 30.0) and in
grade from GS-04 to GS-13 (average grade, GS-09). Most were new profes-
sionals; ten had been with the Agency six months or less; nine had been
employeed between six months and two years and the remaining seven had
been with the Agency over two years. (See TAB A).

2. Class Participation
This was an exceptionally inquisitive class and they interacted
very well throughout the entire three week period of the course. Class
members did not hesitate to ask thought provoking and relevant questions
of the speakers; consequently most of the question and answer sessions
were quite lively. The class thought that one group discussion session
at the beginning of the course was quite sufficient. This is mentioned
because previous classes thought more group sessions would be useful. The
initial group sessions serve two purposes; one, to surface any problems
the class members may have about the Agency and their working environment
and second, to induce the class to talk among themselves, or to become a
more homogeneous group. The session apparently was a success as the class
members related to one another very well. This was evidenced by a self-initiated
"social function" on the final Friday of the course and by their request for
a class roster with everyone's name, component and telephone exchange. The
comradery may also be attributed to the small size of the class.
3. Class Evaluations
a. Statistical ranking of the course: In their evaluation
forms, class members were asked to rank the IWA on a scale of one to seven
(with seven being "highly satisfactory") on two questions. Asked whether
the course as a whole met its stated objectives the class gave an average
ranking of 5.7; asked if the course met their needs for an overall orienta-
tion to CIA, the ranking was 5.5. There seemed little difference among
Directorates or for that matter by years of service with the Agency. See
TAB B for a further breakdown on how the class ranked the course by
Directorate and by years of service.
b. Class Observations: Comments generally were positive. No
one had any really negative statements about the course in general. It
STATINTL appeared that the most valuable presentations during the course running
TATINTL were: CIA and Congress; Introduction to Operations;
ATINTL and on the Agency's Micrographics Program. Regrettably
NTL TL will no longer be able to give this presentation due to his
TTI
TATINTL assuming a new post. also received honorable mention for
STATINTL his presentations on the Most of the class
thought that the field trip to the CIA Operations Center was both beneficial
and an asset to the course. The class also thought that more field trips
should be included in future courses and suggested trips to the Office of
Technical Service, Central Reference Service, National Photographic Inter-
pretation Center and the Office of Joint Computer Support. The feasibility
of such excursions will be investigated for future runnings of the new course.
The class thought the course focus and balance were good, while others thought
the course could be shortened to two weeks with the third week incorporated
into another course. A few of the class felt there was too much duplication
or overlap with other courses, such as the Intelligence Directorate Orienta-
tion Course and CIA Today and Tomorrow. These views again reinforce the
opinion that the course chairman should take a more active role in the
registration of candidates for this course, i.e. review of the candidates'
training records and the number of years they have served on board with
the Agency.

4+. Schedule Changes
There were no major administrative problems during the course.
There were only four speaker changes and one cancellation during the running,
which is relatively low by comparison to other runnings. The speaker sub-
stitutions were primarily due to illness or last minute commitments that
could not be broken. In the case of the cancellation, the NIO presentation,
the speaker simply forgot his appointment. The course chairman in this case
filled in by giving a short presentation on the NIO missions and functions.
5. Changes and Innovations
The course was similar in format to the last running. We grouped
the presentations on the work of CIA and its Directorates into the first
two weeks, leaving the final week for world affairs, plus a last day for
STATINTL topical issues of concern to the Agency. Four new lectures were added this
STATINTL runnin . These were: New Emphasis on Economic Research; STATINTL
STATINTL Logistical Support of Agency Activities;
Training Agency Personnel; and The Role of Computers in
Support of Agency Activities. Most of the new speakers were informative
and added considerably to the balance and focus of the course. The presenta-
tions that were dropped this running were: Field Station Activities,
Scientific and Technical Intelligence, Economic Intelligence and Oil, A
Cross-Cultural Commentary, Is There an International Communist Movement?
and Intelligence in a Democratic Society.
