Fall 2001
Extra Credit Assignment
The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to explore your options here at the university. By looking at course options outside of those you all ready plan to take, you give yourself an opportunity to help confirm or question your desire to study in your chosen field.
Assignment
Attend one class of a course you do not plan to take. This course can be in any department and in any discipline. You must not be enrolled in it now, and it should not be a course you are required or planning to take. Get the course instructors signature to confirm your attendance and write a one page response to the class you attended. Did this class change or confirm any ideas you have about what you want to study? Did you enjoy listening in on something completely different than your current courses? Would you consider taking this course as an elective sometime?
This assignment will earn you up to 10 points that will go toward your project grade. Note that this assignment will not allow you to earn more than 100% credit for your final project total.
Please be courteous when you visit another class. Go early and discuss your attendance and this assignment with the professor. ASK if it is OK that you attend. Some courses may not work well with an observer or you may need special tools to participate. Understand if the professor is not comfortable with your attendance and pick another course.
Attached is a brief letter to the course instructor and the sheet which they are to sign.
