Legacy Lectures

Every student is required to attend 4 out of class lectures. These will introduce students to the wider university community and makes links between this course and other academic undertakings. Some of these lectures may be offered by the Honors Program while others will be sponsored by other departments on campus.

Outside lectures will be announced when they become available. However, students may also attend lectures not specifically mentioned in class. If you have any questions about the applicability of lectures, please ask before you attend. Students are advised to not put lecture attendance off until late in the semester.

Lectures are worth 10% of your final grade. Failure to attend these lectures automatically disqualifies you from earning an "A" in this course. Attendance of 4 lectures (and completion of a short written report for each--see below) is an all or nothing proposition. If you attend four and complete four reports, you are awarded 100 points. If you fail to attend one or more or fail to complete four reports, you are awarded no points.

You are to turn in a short report of your experience no later than 1 week after attending each lecture. You are to turn in a grammatically correct written report using full sentences and paragraphs that notes:

  • the location, time and date of the lecture
  • the name and a short biography of the lecturer
  • why you chose this particular lecture and what you expected to learn and why
  • how this lecture did, or didn't, meet those expectations and why
  • how this lecture did, or didn't, relate to your Legacy course and why (consult the course description for more on what the course is about)
