FINAL EXAMS

Weeks 17 and 18 count for 25% of your final grade. To showcase what you have learned from Leadership Development, give your all to these assignments. You have all grown over the course of our semester and in reading your posts, I have seen each of you share a part of your own leadership journey. Add your personal story to your Week 17 and 18 assignments. The beauty of these projects is that they are student-centered and that they can be applied to the real world. Many of my former students have gone on to implement their forward projects -- you can do the same. Think of your last projects as the beginning of the next chapter in your leadership journey.
