CREDENTIALS REVIEW

UPCOMING CREDENTIALS REVIEW SESSIONS:

Be prepared to go through the oral credentials review process either next Tuesday, March 6th or (if you fail or all unable to make it) the following Tuesday, March 13th.

At the credentials review session they will basically ask you to explain the gist of a few of your agenda topics (or until they are sure you know what you are talking about). This will NOT be from your country's perspective. (Which is a good thing. To pass this thing you only need to have a vague understanding of your country's policies--showing you know your country's policies comes later).

THEREFORE, FOCUS YOUR RESEARCH THIS WEEK ON THE ISSUES THEMSELVES, NOT YOUR COUNTRY.

Make sure you understand the gist of your issue, the key problem, and the fundamental solution to the problem--as well as a few examples of specific things you know about related to the topic. KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING, WHY IT IS HAPPENING/WHY IT IS BAD, AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT.
