To earn a grade of pass, you must at a minimum:
    Before the end of the second week of the course, prepare a proposed personal schedule of events you will be attending for the course, and submit that schedule in person to the professor (Karin Borei). Your schedule can be modified at any time during the semester, in consultation with your professor.

    Attend a total of ten events (no less) during the semester, distributed among specified event categories;

    Read and respond as needed to email from the professor.

    Write roughly one page review (paper) for each of these ten events, to be handed in within 48 hours of that event. Submission should be in the form of an email attachment.

    Write a reflection piece after completing all ten events. The reflection piece should address how you have accomplished the course goals.

You must attend events in categories as follows.
Any exceptions or questions must be negotiated beforehand, not after the event.

Millikin's Fine arts news web page lists a variety of upcoming campus cultural events.

 
KIRKLAND FINE ARTS CENTER events that are part of the Performing Arts Series . (Note that it is not just the physical location in Kirkland that makes it a Kirkland event.) Most of these programs are free to Millikin students.
 
events from MILLIKIN’S MUSICIANS IN PERFORMANCE. 
  • These events are free except for the Millikin-Decatur Symphony Orchestra (MDSO) concerts.
  • For MDSO concerts, purchase your reserved seat tickets at the Kirkland box office.
