Assignment 3: Cultural Activity ReportDue Week 10 and worth 100 points
As a way of experiencing the Humanities beyond your classroom computer and textbook you are asked to do a certain type of cultural activity that fits well with our course and then report on your experience. Your instructor will require you to propose an activity and get instructor approval before you do it and report on it (students should look for any instructions in that respect). Every effort should be made to ensure that this is a hands-on experience (not a virtual one) that this activity fits the HUM 112 class well and that the activity is of sufficient quality for this university course. The two (2) key types of activities are a museum visit or a performance.Note: This must not be a report on the same activity (and certainly not the same report) as done for another class like HUM 111. For instance one might go to the same museum as done for HUM 111 but this HUM 112 report will focus on entirely different works and displays.
Note: Submit your cultural activity choice to the instructor for approval before the end of Week 5 (earlier is even better). Look for guidance from the instructor for how or where to make your proposal. You may also seek advice from your instructor (provide your town / state or zip code) for a good activity in your general area.
Visiting a Museum
Attending a Performance
Note: If a student is unable to attend a cultural event in person due to circumstances beyond the students control then the instructor will recommend an alternate event / activity for the student to attend online. The virtual event / activity is usually only for students who due to their physical location cannot possibly attend an event / activity in person; typically these students are stationed overseas or have no means of transportation.Experience shows most museums and activities are modest in cost and manageable for students and you will often see students from other universities there on similar course projects. If you are facing financial hardship keep in mind that many museums have a free day each week and performance discounts are often available for students and veterans among others. Feel free to ask your instructor to help with finding low-cost options.If you believe that you have a legitimate reason for attending a virtual activity you must contact the instructor no later than Week 5 for your request to be considered.
