7. Dance 648, 845, 846, 847 course change discussion

Concurrences to music?!?  Perhaps flip title or Choreography and Sound?

 

 

 

            Context: in process of reconfig Choreography track to reflect new faculty contributions

            Val will do cover letter for this packet on context

            648

                        Needs grading scales for projects

                        Absence grading scale unclear “for each addtl absence over 10%”?

                        Needs Participation statement

                        “III Requirements” not all reqs. match elements grading scale

                        Due dates for projects?

                        WEEK TEN: 5 class times?  Include “WEEK ELEVEN”

                        Why is there an assignment to attend a departmental meeting? And Why in week 4?

                        What is “lab day” and “first studies”?  Lack of clarity in topical requirements outline

                       

            845      Requirements and grading scale.  Scale based on quantitative but reqs are qualitative.  Need a grading scale. Percentage vs. points – 2 different grading systems going

                        Absence statement needs revision like 648

                        IV – don’t promote one bookstore over another

                        Bib: newer edition than 1987 of Apel

                        Performance options are not clear (one of each? All?)

                        Requires a book, but when are readings?  Perhaps list calendar as topic, assignment sts need to do and when projects are due in a more organized way. Use tables function to organize?  Discussion: Assignment: Due Dates: cross reference with reqs and grading?

 

 

 

            846      Bib: update 3^rd entry

                        Relate % grading to point system

                        Absence statement

                        Objectives: delete last bullet “an appreciation/awareness of the diversity of approaches”? did not like “understanding”

                        Participation statement

                        Needs explanation of what is in journal, writing assignment, written responses – how are these the same? Different?

                        Is this the same as 648???  Can syllabus be different for 846?  How are they different?  846 focus on 20^th c?

 

 

 

            847      “StraTegies”

                        Similar grading issues as above courses

                        Participation blurb needs revision

                        Be more specific on reading assignments (page numbers – see WK TWO for example)

                        What is “lab process”

                        What is relationship between grading, journal entries, and final paper? V. Grading seems like an assessment rubric on how each assignment is graded, but what is each assignment worth?

                       

SENT BACK
