College courses typically end with a silent and solitary final exam for each student. In this talk, we’ll consider ending semesters with an “epic finale” instead. While a standard exam can be given during any class period, we’ll discuss the benefits of ending with experiential, celebratory, and even mysterious culminating activities. This talk will include examples of epic finales, guidelines for crafting your own, and the ways in which virtual reality technology might make these more broadly available.
