Networking Conversation Assignment - 15%

The purpose of this assignment is to help you have conversations with people. This is a 2 part assignment:

Part 1: Getting Curious - 10%

Imagine you were introduced to someone new at a party or in class. Write out 5-6 things you would like to learn about them, assuming they could be a friend

Write out 5-6 things you want to learn about someone you admire professionally (e.g. you met Elon Musk in an elevator - what would you want to know from him?)

Frame 4 of the above things you're curious about into questions (2 from each bullet point above). Make sure the questions don't sound like you're interviewing or interrogating the person you're talking to. Make them natural and conversational. The best way to do this is say it out aloud in front of a mirror or try them on a friend.
