Week 7 Day 2 - Tuesday, July 31

Week 7 continues - Module 13 is due tomorrow and Module 14 is due Friday.

Our course ends Friday, August 10.  If you are behind, you need to make a plan and catch up. Go to your grade book and make a list of your missing assignments.  Divide the number of assignments you have by the number of days left in the course -- that number represents how many assignments you should be doing each day IN ADDITION TO your required work for the week. Remember to use the old announcements to help you with completing your work.

Your final exam activities are weighted equally and together count as 20% of your final grade.  Here is an overview of your 3 final exam activities:

• Leadership CV/Cover Letter - you will use what you have learned as well as the work you have completed in the course to create YOUR own leadership CV (curriculum vitae). Your leadership CV (a detailed resume) will include your current leadership goals, skills, positions, mission, etc. and will also include at least 3 work samples from your Leadership Development coursework. There are detailed directions as well as a detailed rubric in the assignment to help you:)   Use the template to PLAN your CV and then create your CV using an application of your choice (Word, Google, Canva, etc.).  Once your CV is complete, write a cover letter that meets the assignment requirements.  **You have written a resume as well as a cover letter in our course before...now you are creating for YOU!
• Empowering Others Discussion Board - you will share your philosophy, your progress, and your fears with your classmates one last time and send them off feeling empowered. Be sure to use your leadership skills to create an awesome post and to craft quality replies to at least 3 of your classmates. There are detailed directions as well as a detailed rubric in the assignment to help you:)   
• Final Exam Multiple Choice Assessment - You will showcase your content knowledge by taking a traditional final exam. It has 50 questions (a mixture of true/false and multiple choice). You will have ONE attempt at this exam.

To prepare for the leadership CV/cover letter and discussion board, do the following:

• Go back to Modules 1 and 2 - review your assignments and look at where you started.  
• Then go through the course and choose your favorite assignments and/or the assignments that show your growth.
• Think about the kind of leaders you have met this semester - which ones do you want to model?  Review those leaders in the lessons in which you studied them.

To review the lessons and prepare for your final exam multiple choice assessment, you can do the following:

• Go back through each module and re-read Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 notes for each module.
• Review Friday announcements to see the overview of each module posted.  It is the same information as the lesson notes but in a different format.

Final Exam Activities open Monday, August 6.  You got this!

Module 13 Post-Assessment
Take a few minutes to review the notes and the graphic organizer you created. Review the vocabulary found at the beginning of each lesson notes. Then take the post-assessment.  While you take it, read each question and answer choice twice. Eliminate the answers you know are not correct and then choose the best answer based on your understanding. Taking this post-assessment is not only part of your grade, it is good practice for the multiple choice portion of your final exam.
