You will be held accountable for honest behavior in this class. Likewise, honest test-taking and homework procedures will be enforced. Refer to the student guidelines handbook for what constitutes “cheating.” The Academic Policy Statement 810213 for Academic Dishonesty at is located at:
Concerning Plagiarism:
“You are guilty of plagiarism when you present someone else’s words or ideas as if they were your own.” Because of the nature of this class there is not much danger of plagiarism, however:
Dishonesty:
It is dishonest to present your own previously written material as a new assignment in this or in any other class.
It is dishonest to copy another student’s work, research, or writing, even in part.
It is dishonest to allow your work to be used by someone else.
All academic dishonesty will result in an automatic F. An F in the course could result depending on the severity of the offense as determined by the instructor.
What does she mean by “information sources” on the Internet? As you hopefully know, not all internet information is created equal!
Answer: An information source is NOT the same as a database. JSTOR is a database, and there are many other useful databases. A database shows you where you can find articles on various topics, and their use is encouraged. You can also access The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians via the database in our library. Google Books also has many sources available. These are not what I am talking about. The information sources on the web to which I am referring include the sites that pop up when you conduct a casual search for a composer or musical composition. If you search for Brahms’ Opus 53 (Alto Rhapsody), you will find Wikipedia, program notes, posted articles, and discussions about the work. These are the items that are off limits to you. You are required to use scholarly articles, books, and primary sources for your research, which can be found listed in databases and in libraries.
If you have questions about plagiarism, consider playing this computer game that our Library sponsors.
Title IX
Title IX makes it clear that violence and harassment based on sex and gender are Civil Rights offenses subject to the same kinds of accountability and the same kinds of support applied to offenses against other protected categories such as race, national origin, age discrimination, and religion. If you or someone you know has been harassed or assaulted, you can find the appropriate resources here:
Exams
There will be four regular written exams: the final exam will be the fourth exam and will not be comprehensive. Each regular exam will test your knowledge of factual information concerning music, terminology, composers, and compositions. A review sheet for each exam will be posted on Blackboard at least one week before the exam date. Various forms of questions will appear on each exam including short written answer and essay questions.
Listening Exams
A listening exam will accompany each written exam and will test your knowledge of the style characteristics of each era we will study. Each listening exam will include Mystery Listening. What to expect: DON’T PANIC. This portion will test your grasp of each style period and the composer’s styles/genre. You will be asked several leading questions that will help you determine the best choice of era, composer, and genre. If you have done your work on the prepared pieces, this section should not be a problem.
Late Work Policy:
Blog posts must be completed on Blackboard by the end of the day of the accompanying exam. Concert Reports must be submitted via Blackboard or email. Late Blog posts will not be accepted and will be counted as zeros.
