Grading and Course Requirements Attendance in class is extremely important since we must move quickly to cover the required material, and any absences will be taken into consideration if a grade is on the borderline at the end of the semester. You should not miss class for reasons other than illness or some unforeseen emergency. However, you are still responsible for the material covered in class on that day. The final grade will be based on class attendance and any required homework (including a required group project), concert/recital attendance and reports (2), listening quizzes (5), unit exams (5), and the final exam. The concert/recitals may include wind ensemble, symphony, chorale, percussion ensemble, college student recitals, or world music. Performances must be of a college or professional level. You will need to turn in a paper on each performance (details will be given in class) with a program attached to it. Papers are due Thursday, April 23. No papers will be accepted after this time. However, papers may be turned in any time prior to the due date. The percentage of grade requirements is listed above. Class lecture notes will be given from the required text. Roll will be taken each class period. Exams may be made up within one week if the absence is excused and properly documented. If you have questions or a personal matter to discuss, please feel free to call or e-mail me.
