Be prepared

How Can I Prepare?

The tips for preparing and answering questions from HLC peer reviewers are similar to preparing for a job interview:

Be prepared

• Review your resources and handouts
• Think about how you and your role fits into each criterion
• Practice
• Speak clearly, confidently, and enthusiastically, and vary your tone and body language
• Be honest
• Be brief and concise, but also specific and factual; use examples and data if possible
• Listen carefully to the questions and ask for clarification if needed; take your time to think
• If you don’t know the answer to a question, admit it! Try to relate it to something you do know or have learned.
