UCF Campus Engagement Requirement
As part of your engagement breakdown in a Women’s Studies course, you are going to participate in the intellectual and cultural community here at UCF. To that end, twice during the semester you will attend Women’s Studies approved events on campus (guest speakers, discussions, panels, art shows, film screenings) and the first class session after the event you will turn in your “WST Event Verification Form.” Then, within a week of attending the event you will turn in a 400-500 word reflection paper on the event.
The 400-500 word reflection paper should be submitted in MLA format. This paper is a reflection of your thoughts about the event you attended. Your paper may include questions about the event, arguments on the issue raised by the speaker or film, or some relevant points not covered. You may disagree with the topic or speaker and criticize a point of view—just stick to specifics. Remember to write about what was said, not just how you feel about having to attend the event.
*This list may be updated throughout the semester as new events become scheduled. However, there is no guarantee that new events will be added. Therefore, plan in advance!
