Orientation

Grades serve as a reflection of your learning progress. Each activity is designed to move your learning forward towards mastery of the course learning objectives. You earn points based on the course grade details outlined in this page. Each activity is designed for you to complete the activity, receive feedback, make any necessary revisions, and resubmit to earn total points. My goal is for course grading to be clear and precise, so please let me know if you need clarification.

Your final letter grade is based on 100 total points. Please refer to the following chart:

Course Grade Details
Coursework	Quantity	Points
Listening Analyses	16	40
Discussions	5	15
Projects	3	21
Film Report	1	12
Concert Report	1	12
Totals	25	100

Letter Grade

Your final letter grade will be your total points translated to a letter grade. Your grade is based on the following standard college scale:

Letter Grade Details
Letter Grade	Points
A	90-100
B	80-89
C	70-79
D	60-69
F	0-59

Course Drop

My goal is for everyone to complete this course successfully, but I understand that life circumstances sometimes require a change of plans. If you find yourself in a position that you need to drop the course, please complete the drop process in WebAdvisor. Please note that it is your responsibility to drop the course to avoid an unnecessary F grade.

Academic Records

You are responsible to keep personal record of their own grade and academic progress in the course grades section.

Rubrics

All course work is graded according to respective rubrics. Be sure to review the rubric before beginning each course activity.

Due Dates

I have provided due dates for you directly in each activity. Also, you will be able to view these dates in the Calendar and the Syllabus Course Summary. My goal for due dates is to help you manage your time to complete coursework, and help me manage my time to provide you with meaningful feedback. In a perfect world, we will all meet every due date and deadline for school, work, and life, but we know that this is not the case. Please know that I am here to work with you to help you meet your academic goals, so please reach out if you need flexibility on the schedule!
