De Anza College Randy Pausch Last Lecture Worksheet

Watch the video at :

(Links to an external site.)

It is 1 hour 16 mins., but you should watch the entire video as it will have impact on this assignment and the Part 2. Then complete the following assignment:

-Give a quick summary of the video. Who was Randy Pausch? What was the last lecture and why was it important?

-If you were in Randy Pausch’s position, what would your last lecture be about? Write a minimum 1/2 page response to this question (single spaced) detailing what your last lecture would be. Reflect on what your life was or even, project on what you would want your life to have been like. Try putting yourself in your future shoes. Looking back, what would you like to have accomplished and impacted? Why?

This portion of the assignment will only be seen by me, so feel free to work out some ideas that you would not otherwise want your entire class to see in Part 2.
