5 Steps to Mastering the Current Events Quiz

By Veronica Yaron

1. An hour or so before class try going over the e-replica’s from earlier in the week to refresh your memory.
2. If you miss a day go to the e-replica page and click on the down arrow next to the date, from there you can choose the date you missed.
3. Recognize your weak spots! For example, if you’re not that interested in sports and easily forget that kind of information, try writing the headlines down to look over before the quiz.
4. Make sure to pay close attention to Professor Piacente’s e-mails because sometimes he hints at what’s going to be on the quiz
5. Try downloading the Washington Post app to your phone so you can read the articles for the week no matter how busy (or where) you are.

·      Think of your brand as the who what and the how

·      Who- Who you are

·      What- Things that you do

·      How- How do you demonstrate who you are and what you're doing

·      Values are pretty consistent

·      Consistent parts of who you are is also your brand

·      What do you enjoy to do, why do you enjoy doing it, what strengths show up when you do it?
