The optional Lecture Reports are exercises in listening comprehension, critical thinking, and writing.
Four times a semester, students can write a lecture report after 1) listening to an iTunes lecture or 2) attending a designated marine-related lecture. Eligible lectures will be listed on Lani Aina Kai or a lecture can be suggested by a student. A lecture report covers the material the student learned from the lecture.
To receive full credit for each Lecture Report (2.5 points), students must write a report that is 1-2 pages long, is double-spaced, has 1-1.5" margins, and uses a 12-point font. Students must include the title of the lecture attended, and where and when it was presented. A lecture report is graded on the how well the subjects learned from the lecture are described and organized. Grading is in increments of 0.5 points
For iTunes podcast and streaming video lectures, students must write a report that is 2-3 pages long.
One lecture report or field trip report can be turned in approximately every four weeks. Check the nearest due date on the Assignments page. The due dates for all four reports are listed in the syllabus.
