How much does Richard Dawkins actually turn up to lecture?

Just wondering, does he actually feel part of the uni
Hi Mrkingpenguin, thanks for the question.

Professor Dawkins lectured us in November of last term, giving a total of four 1 and a 1/2 hour lectures to the students of NCH. His connection with NCH is extremely close in the sense that he does not merely lecture us 'for the sake of it', but on topics that feature in the end of term exam we are set for the 'Science Literacy' core module that forms part of the NCH Diploma and is taught exclusively by Richard Dawkins, Lawrence Krauss, Steven Pinker and Daniel Dennett. The questions themselves which we were tested on in December 2012 were written and set by Professor Dawkins. Thus thought he doesn't lecture us throughout the year, Professor Dawkins nevertheless contributes significantly to NCH; though I couldn't comment on his behalf as to whether he feels part of the uni, during the period of his lectures Professor Dawkins was in close contact with us all, answering our questions inside and outside of lectures as well as socially engaging with us in pre- and post- lecture events.

I hope this answers your question; if you want to know more info please don't hesitate to ask.
