Spring 2011
Electronic Assignments
- EA's
During the course of the semester,
you will be asked to complete ten "Electronic Assignments"
[five
worth fifteen (15)
points, four worth twenty (20) points and one worth forty-five (45)
points]. These are ten, relatively short [the length varies
substantially depending upon the nature of the assignment] assignments
and you will get full credit for your efforts if you effectively answer
or write about the given question.
There follows a brief
description of these Electronic Assignments [EA's], and their respective
due dates. Amplification of the projects will be discussed in class. As
with all projects, IF THEY ARE NOT COMPLETED ON TIME, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO KEEP
THEM.
For submission of each EA [Electronic Assignment] you will use the
Assignment Submission Form which may be found under each EA and in the
Main Index. This is another advantage of the totally web-based
version of Music 315, which I think you will find very helpful. To
complete an assignment just follow the directions. Again, the Assignment
Submission Form [as well as the entire web-page] is best viewed in
Internet Explorer] This should be much easier than formats which
Music 315 Scholars of the past have bravely endured.
Evaluation - I use a rubric to evaluate your responses to/for each EA
[with the exception of EA1]. The extent to which you correctly
answer/respond to the talking points for each [plus the timeliness of
the submission] is what determines your point tally on a given
assignment
We will talk more about these in class. There follows a listing of the
assignments for your perusal, which I think you will enjoy and find
useful/helpful.
Special Note
... as all of the following assignments are submitted via the Assignment
Submission Form, and as there can always be technical "glitches" that
pop-up - please, please, please always keep a copy of the assignment you
are submitting [i.e. keep the original document on your computer - cut
and paste into the Assignment Submission Form when ready to submit].
Then if there is a "problem" you'll not have to "re-do" the assignment -
can just re-submit [if you get my drift] ...
