Office Phone: 973-300-2343 Email: jreed@sussex.edu or via WebStudy Office Hour: M 12:10-1:30 Online I will be online during the week to check your progress and to answer any questions that you may have. I will log in on Monday through Friday throughout the day. I am not available 24 hours a day, so please have patience regarding your requests. As with a class you may attend in class, the professor is not available 24/7. I do check my e-mail at jreed@sussex.edu, but it is better to e-mail me through the WebStudy system mail communication. I will check the e-mail on weekends (when possible, it is not guaranteed), so please view all the power points to make sure the lectures are available to you during the week. This will allow you to ask all your questions before the weekend regarding problems with power points, assignment or quiz clarification, etc. You dont have to read the notes before the weekend, just make sure you arent having any computer problems with logging into the course work and viewing it. The Director of Instructional Design, Anthony Sorrento will not be available on weekends, so any technical problems you may have will need to be addressed during the week with Anthony through e-mail or phone communications. I am responsible for the course content, the technical aspects of the course are under Anthonys stewardship. I will have an in office hour, the office hour is on Monday, see above. I will be online at this time. However, you will need to have your work completed by Monday morning at 8:00 am, so again, please make sure you are able to access your class content before Friday. You can contact me, to set up an appointment to meet in person, if you have questions about the course content, etc. However, you will need to speak or meet with Anthony regarding technical issues. Textbook: Arts and Culture An Introduction to the Humanities Volume Two/Fourth Edition (PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A NEW EDITION) Janetta Rebold Benton & Robert DiYanni

MUSIC CD/ You will need to access and listen to the music CD that is located at the back of your textbook. COURSE DESCRIPTION This survey course explores the evolution of western and nonwestern key ideas in art, music, and literature from the 15th to 21st century societies. Emphasis is placed on the comparison and contrast of social, economic, religious, and political forces in the arts in a variety of cultures and diverse people. Metropolitan Museum of Art Trip-Saturday, April 28, 2012 THE TRIP IS OPTIONAL I offer this trip because I believe it is important for students to experience live art. Often, a reproduction of an artwork in a textbook or on a slide does not give the student an accurate perception of the color, depth of field, or dimensions of an artwork. When a student experiences live art, it creates the opportunity for him or her to engage with an artwork through sensory and intellectual perceptions. Thus, this experience is a direct and personal interaction between the object and the viewer. It can be a very exciting and rewarding experience. So, please join us, if you can. The cost of the trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art is $22.00 per student and per guest round trip bus fare only. The price includes a $1.50 service charge. Students can purchase their tickets at the SCCC Performing Arts Center Box Office or online at the SCCC website at: www.sussex.edu. Click on the icon for performing arts box office on the SCCC home page. Tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis. So, if you are planning on joining us that day, please purchase your tickets early the buses tend to fill up quickly. The seats are not numbered, if you are bringing a friend or a family member you can certainly sit with each other. We leave from the Sussex County Community College campus, E-Building parking lot at 9:00 am and return at 5:00 pm. You will need to be on campus for the bus at 8:45 am. GRADING CRITERIA: CONTENT LECTURE MODULES, TEXTBOOK READINGS AND NOTES, ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS, QUIZZES/EXAMS, ATTENDANCE CONTENT LECTURE LESSONS

The course content is divided into lessons in the form of power point lecture presentations. There will be notes for each chapter and assignment and/or quiz icons for each chapter provided in the TIMELINE ICON ON THE HOME PAGE. You will complete one lesson presentation per week as scheduled. The majority of the files are on black and white slides. The presentation notes include specific directions for textbook readings, lecture notes, and assignment questions. All the weekly lessons are available on Monday mornings at 8:00 am on a weekly basis and will close on the following Monday at 8:00 am. The presentation is available to you 24/7. Please be sure to work on each presentation on a weekly basis. Read this syllabus and check the timeline for weekly assignments and due dates. During the midterm and final exam weeks, all the presentations will be reopened for your review.

TEXTBOOK READINGS AND NOTES Please read the assigned textbook requirements and take notes. You will need to integrate the textbook notes with your notes from the content lecture presentation lessons. The quizzes and assignments will be a combination of textbook notes and the additional information in the content lecture presentation lessons. ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS Please note assignment questions are based on reading assignments from the text or lecture notes. The assignment questions are posted in the content lecture lessons. Some weeks you will have a quiz and other weeks you will have an assignment question. Please post the assignment question to the assignment icon. Assignment papers cannot be made up and must be handed in by the due date. Check the course syllabus and timeline for assignment due dates. The assignment drop box is available from 8:00 am on the day it is assigned until 8:00 am the day it is due. The assignment questions are posted in the POWER POINT LECTURE MODULES. PLEASE remember to put your name on your paper.

QUIZZES/EXAMS The quizzes will be a combination of presentation notes and assigned textbook readings as indicated above. All quizzes will be available for one week starting on Monday mornings at 8:00 am and will be deleted the following Monday morning at 8:00 am, unless otherwise noted in the syllabus, please check scheduled dates below for each chapter. The quiz is available 24/7 OR for one week. You need to allow ten minutes for each quiz. You need to sign in at least 20 minutes before the time expires on the quiz due date to allow for the time you need to take the test. The quiz will cut you off, if you do not have enough time to take it. For 20 minute quizzes, you will need to sign in at least 30 minutes before the time expires. If possible, you should set up a weekly personal calendar date and time for yourself, so that you can take the quiz at the same time each week as needed. It will allow you to remember to take the quiz and give you a goal time to finish all your required work for the week. Quizzes CANNOT be made-up. I WILL DROP YOUR TWO LOWEST QUIZ GRADES AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER. Please plan ahead, so that if you need to miss a quiz due to illness or a family emergency, you will have the two quiz window. Also, if you choose not to take a quiz, you are still responsible for the lecture presentation content. The content from all the lectures will be on the midterm and final exams. The midterm and final exams are one hour and 15 minutes each and will be available for one week. Remember you will need to allow one hour and 15 minutes for each of these exams. You will need to log in for the exam at least 2 hours before the expiration time. If you are using a lap top computer, please remember that it will need to be operating for one hour and 15 minutes, so check the battery.

ATTENDANCE You will need to allow at minimum six hours per week to take notes from the text and lecture presentations. If you did meet in class for this semester, it would be for 2 1/2 hours per week, two days a week, plus homework. Although you are not in class physically, you do need to complete your work on a regular weekly basis, post your responses to the assignment questions, and take quizzes on the required dates. Please remember, it is

imperative to attend the online class presentations on a weekly basis to complete your work. I can track your attendance by viewing your login status to the presentations and the quizzes on a daily and weekly basis. The attendance grade is part of the overall grade. If you are attending the online class regularly then you are taking your notes and studying, it will show in your assignments, quizzes, and exams. ADDITIONAL INFO: TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, DISCUSSION BOARD, VERY HELPFUL HINTS TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES If you are experiencing technical difficulties, please contact Anthony Sorrento at 973-300-2769 or you can e-mail him at asorrento@sussex.edu Anthony is the Director of Instructional Design support for the WebStudy program. He can help you with browser issues, etc. He is available M-F. The WebStudy program is available 24/7. If there are technical difficulties with the program, please note that I too am aware of the difficulties and will e-mail you with updates regarding your work. There will be a message on the home page alerting you to any technical difficulties that are WebStudy based. I dont anticipate any problems with the system, so please be sure to complete your work and contact Anthony with any concerns regarding your technical support issues. DISCUSSION BOARD There is a Discussion board. The discussion board is available on the homepage. You might want to communicate with your fellow students regarding similar problems, usually technical. You might want to discuss the course content. I will visit this page. If you have a question about the course content, I will answer for everyone on the discussion page. It's amazing sometimes, when someone asks a question about the course content, it seems everyone is interested in the answer. Please do not use the discussion board as a place to vent personal problems. If you have a problem with the course content or a personal issue regarding the course, please e-mail me privately through the mail provided by the WebStudy communication system. VERY HELPFUL HINTS: Online courses can be very challenging. It requires that the student be extremely organized. Please adhere to the course schedule. You might want to purchase a

physical calendar specifically for this course and write down all the due dates for assignments, exams, and quizzes. STUDENTS FIND IT VERY HELPFUL TO USE NOTECARDS. YOU CAN MAKE CATEGORIES FOR DIFFERENT SECTIONS. ART, MUSIC, POLITICS, LITERATURE, RELIGION, ETC. WRITE THE MAIN POINTS ON THESE CARDS AS TAKEN FROM YOUR NOTES AND ASSIGNED READINGS. MEMORIZE EACH CARD. REVIEW THE NOTE CARDS BEFORE EACH QUIZ AND EACH EXAM. THE NOTECARDS YOU CREATE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER CAN LATER BE USED FOR YOUR MIDTERM AND FINAL EXAMS, SO IT IS WELL WORTH THE EFFORT TO DO THE EXTRA WORK PRIOR TO THE EXAMS. Your success in the course will depend on your commitment to your work. Please remember, you do not attend class in class on a weekly basis, you attend the class weekly online. I hope you have a great semester. Let me know, if you have any questions.
