COURSE REQUIREMENTS

1.      Class Attendance. Regular attendance and punctuality are essential.  Your grade will  be lowered one letter for every three absences; you will also be counted absent for every three times that you are late for class.

 

                 2.       There will be announced exams during the term, a final exam at the scheduled final exam period, a listening exam on the final day of regular classes, and a term paper. Except in the most unusual of circumstances, missed quizzes and exams will not be made up unless you have made special arrangements with me BEFORE the absence. Pop quizzes can be expected!

 

                 3.       Concert Attendance. Each student is required to attend eight (8) concerts (approved by the instructor) during the semester that he/she is enrolled in this course.  Students may receive credit for turning in recital programs at the end                                    

of the semester.

 

                4.       Readings in the course are not extensive, so that more emphasis can be placed on actually listening to music during out‑of‑class preparation.
