Cultural Event Review (2): Two of the papers will be reviews of the two cultural events which you are required to attend as a part of the course.  Though the university may award cultural event credit, alcohol education programs and the play “You Can’t Take it with You” will not count toward fulfilling the two cultural events required for ACAD101. In the review, you should describe the type of event (e.g., play, music, lecture, panel discussion etc.), note its time and place, describe your personal reaction to the event, delineate what you enjoyed or did not enjoy about it and why, and describe the audience reaction to the event. You may include other information at your pleasure.

Know Thy Professors (3): Three of the papers will be transcripts of interviews you will hold with your professors. You will conduct an interview with each of three different professors whose courses you are taking. Your report on the interview should begin by stating the time and place of the interview and any notes you wish to record about the environment (e.g. "office like a pig sty"). You will then record the questions and answers in standard "Q and A" format. If you are not a fast writer, you might ask your interviewee's consent to allow you to use a tape recorder. You should ask at least five questions. You will be graded on the quality and originality of the questions.

Alcohol Program Review (1): Each student is required to attend one Alcohol Awareness Program. See the course schedule for the dates of these programs. This paper will be a review of the event you attended. In the review, you should describe the event, note its time and place, and describe your personal reaction to the event. You should also include pertinent information from the course reading "Facts on Tap for College Students." You may include other information at your pleasure.

Play Review (1): Each student is required to attend the play "You Can’t Take it with You." One of the classic screwball comedies of the American theatre, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play resonates with many themes in the common book. Students must purchase a ticket voucher (at a significant discount) from the bookstore.  The peer mentor will exchange this voucher for a ticket to the play in a mystical and magical fashion. Though the play is not to be counted as one of the two required cultural events for ACAD 101, attendance will count toward the cultural event requirement for graduation. In the review, you should describe the event, note its time and place, and describe your personal reaction to the event. You should also include pertinent information from the common book. You may include other information at your pleasure.

Resume and Four-Year Plan (1): Prepare a one-page resume using the guidelines given in class. Prepare a full four-year plan for the courses you plan to take toward the successful completion of your chosen degree, and the career development activities you will undertake in preparation for your career (e.g., internships, co-ops, service learning experiences, community service experiences) or for graduate school (e.g., research projects, presentations at meetings, collaborative research with faculty).

Service Learning Reflection (1): Reflect on your participation in the class service learning project. Include a description of your role in the project, your personal reaction to the project, and something that you may have learned (or learned more clearly) as a result of the project. You may include other information at your pleasure.
