Got Final Exam Worries?  
For your final exam, you will have 3 activities to complete.  Each activity is weighted equally and totals 20% of your final grade.  Here are the activities:

1. Leadership CV (Curriculum Vitae) and Cover Letter
2. Empowerment Discussion Board
3. 50-question Assessment

You can prepare for your final by doing the following:

• Plan ahead.  Be sure you schedule enough time to complete your exam activities.  They should take the same amount of time as a module's worth of work.
• Review each module lesson.  Identify topics you did not understand well and go back over them.
• Review your assignments.  Choose the ones for which you are most proud and that best represent your leadership journey.   You will need those assignments for your CV.
• Assess your leadership goals as well as your leadership traits and skills.  Reflect on where you began, where you are, and where you want to be.  All of the information will be used in your CV/cover letter and/or your discussion board posts.
• To get ready for the discussion board, review quality replies.  Think about what you want to hear in order to motivate you to move forward with your goals.

• Be sure to explain each responsibility as it relates to the job.
• Be sure to explain the traits. How would each be used on the job?
• Be sure to explain the requirements you listed as they relate to the job.
• Be sure to follow the directions and use the rubric to check your work before submitting.
