Week 14 begins today and is due Wednesday.  Last week was very busy with 3 due dates...this week we are back to just 2 (Week 14 Wednesday and Week 15 Friday).  
There are 2 weeks left -- our course ends Friday, August 12.  If you are behind, you need to make a plan and catch up.  If you wish to finish early, go ahead and look at Weeks 17 & 18 so you are mentally preparing for your final exam activities. Week 16 is our last week of new material so you are only a few modules away from finishing the classwork portion of the course. You got this!

Week 14 Assignment Tips:
Integrity - Before reading the article, read the questions.  For each of the 4 questions, plan on citing a phrase from the text.   Remember to offer at least 3 complete sentences for each question.  Consider how integrity fits into your leadership journey thus far -- why is it a topic towards the end of the course instead of at the beginning?  
Discipline - Once again, aim for using a phrase from the text for each question.  While questions such as #2, #4 and #6 ask you to discuss your life, the expectation is that you connect your life to the article.  How will you take information about discipline from this week and apply it to your previous leadership lessons?
NASA Crisis - You and your classmates will be using your discipline and integrity to handle a crisis on on the moon.  You are part of a resupply mission scheduled to rendezvous with a ship already on the moon, however your ship crashes 200 miles from your rendezvous point.  You will rank the 15 items left intact and undamaged -- which items are the most important ? This simulation reminds me of what settlers headed west had to do as they moved cross country.  Have fun!  Remember to respond to your classmates!

Browning Journal - This Browning quote is briefly explained in the directions.  When you describe the situation in which you were misunderstood, be sure you refer back to the quote. Remember to relate your situation to the personal qualities of discipline and integrity as well as to your leadership journey.
