Course Policies

• There are no make-up exams for listening quizzes.
• The only acceptable excuses for missing final concert report deadline are illness or emergencies documented by official written acknowledgement, such as a doctor's medical excuse. Only extraordinary, documentable circumstances can justify giving a makeup or extension.

• Attendance is expected for every lecture.

You are responsible for the content of every class, including special announcements that will be made from time to time. The instructor cannot take responsibility for informing you of material that you may have missed. You are also expected to arrive on time. Students who frequently miss class usually do poorly or fail.

• The course will require your active participation, not just passive attendance. Keeping up with the class will help give the kind of alertness and confidence needed to do well in the course.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON GRADING

• Failure to hand in a final concert report assignment on time will seriously affect your grade and constitute one of the quickest paths to failure in the course.
• Computer failure does not qualify as a legitimate excuse for late papers! Plan accordingly! Late work will not be accepted.
