Every year, my Cuarto Classes have an assignment of watching "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. Professor Pausch was an important person in the development of Virtual Reality computer programming from the 1990s through 2008.
The Last Lecture was a series of lectures at Carnegie Mellon University, which featured ditinguished people who were asked the following: If this were the last lecture you would make before you died, what would you lecture on? This particular lecture was very pointed, because Professor Pausch was dying of cancer at the time ha gave it. It is considered a classic about making and attaining dreams as well as being successful despite barriers in life.
Your assignment is to watch the Last Lecture in its entirety ( just over one hour). On Tuesday, 8 June there will be a graded assignment and discussion based on the information from the lecture.
