Guidelines for Writing the Lyceum Report
Your report should be typed, double-spaced and should be at least two pages in length. The report should be submitted within seven days of the event. Lyceum events should be approved by the instructor, prior to attending an event. Convocations and programs (LPD, Financial Aid, etc.) during class time will not fulfill the lyceum requirement. In general, student organization activities and residence hall activities will not fulfill the lyceum requirement. The report should include answers to the following questions:
- What activity did you attend and when, where and at what time did it occur?
- Who were the main speaker(s) or performer(s) in the event?
- Was this a guided tour? (Answer only if you visited a museum or some other place where guided tours should be available.)
- Describe the event itself. What happened? What was the most interesting part of the event to you? What did you like least about the event?
- Would you describe this event as a good learning experience for you? How was the event beneficial to you?
- Would you recommend this lyceum activity to other students? If so why and to whom. (Be specific).
Write your paper in paragraph form. Write in your style, you do no not have to answer the above questions in the order they are presented, but you must address each one of them in your paper. All lyceum events must be approved by the instructor. Every student is required to go to the CAU Art Gallery to satisfy at least one lyceum requirement (the assignment is in Unit IV). Attach a program or flier from the lyceum event which has your name on it.
NO PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED LATE AND NONE WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT A PROGRAM OR FLIER. ABSENCE FROM CLASS ON THE LYCEUM DUE DATE IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR LATE PAPERS.
Please note the following deadline dates for Lyceums. (Papers may be turned in earlier than the deadline date. Papers should be submitted within 7 days of the event that you attend.) Lyceums are due in class at the beginning of the class period. Lyceums must be submitted in hard copy and will not be accepted electronically (i.e., email).
