week is expected. • Access to youtube.com

Students must be fluent and with use of the TCC portal, and actively use their TCC email accounts. I will only email your TCC email address, and will not be responsible for missed messages that are sent to me via alternate email interfaces (i.e. Hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc....). Any problems or questions with technology use can be directed to the instructors, or the staff in the E-Learning Department of TCC - http://www.tacomacc.edu/elearning/.

Minimum technology requirements are: • Daily, unobstructed internet access to TCC/Canvas/Youtube. • Ability to format documents in Word and/or save to PDF format. • Regular access to email, and ability to attach Word/PDF files. • Ability to download and listen to MP3 file

Assignments: Weekly Graded Discussions (20 pts): I will pose some questions for you in the discussions forum of the Canvas page. You will do a first post that responds to my question/s (10 pts), and you will reply to at least two other posts from fellow students (5 pts each). I highly encourage multiple replies to multiple students, but you are only graded on two responses. These responses need to be engaging, and be more than agreement with your fellow students. If you agree, explain why. If you disagree, explain point-by-point what you disagree with. You are graded on the quality of your initial entry and your responses to your peers. These assignments also offer the only extra credit opportunity for this course: an additional 3 points if you complete the initial response to my question 3 days early (Friday). You then have until Monday to make your 2 response posts. Incomplete assignments will not receive extra credit. Weekly Quizzes (25 pts.): Quizzes are based on the weekly reading assignments, lecture materials, listening assignments, and discussion topics. You are allowed to use your notes/textbook for these quizzes, but a working knowledge of the material will aid in your ability to expeditiously complete the quizzes, as they are timed. You are not allowed to use a web search for tests, but I highly encourage you to do additional research on topics that are more complex or ones where you feel a lack of understanding. Listening Journal Assignments (10-20 pts.): There will be 1 or 2 listening assignments per week. These assignments will require you to offer your opinion as well as give some background/insight into the questions posed for each assignment. Additional research to answer these questions should be anticipated. Also, some of these assignments take less than 5 minutes to listen to. Others require you to listen for 45 minutes. Please plan accordingly to avoid late assignments. 2 Major Projects (100 pts): See CANVAS for specific instructions. Please choose 2 (not the same 2) of the following:

1. WORLD MUSIC WEB RESOURCE: Compile a thorough list of websites that could be used to introduce and inform a reader of the particular music style of World Music. Must include annotations (paragraphs) that describe each link. Minimum of 10 websites listed.

2. MUSIC TRAVEL REPORT: produce a written paper, power-point, or other substantial project based on

travel to another country. This should focus on a particular style or instrument within that given region. Please include (but not limited to) historical background, relevant performers, how it is learned, special social/political relevance, religious/philosophical relevance, language, and performance practice.

3. WORLD MUSICIAN INTERVIEW: interview someone who performs world music , and compose an essay that relates their answers to your focus area of that particular style. Note: listing your questions, and their answers, verbatim will not get you full credit for this assignment. You need to compose an essay that reiterates their responses in your own words.

Each of these projects, if written in a paper, needs to meet a minimum length of 1.5 pages, but not to exceed 3 pages. Headings DO NOT count towards content. Spacing should be 1.15, font size should be no greater than 12, and margins must not be changed from the standard template in word (1” margins for top and bottom, 1.25” margins for sides). Final Exam (up to 200 pts): Comprised of multiple-choice questions, short essay, and listening exams. This will be timed, and will only be comprised of the material from the preceding weeks. All discussions/assignments for one week will be made available on the Sunday night preceding that week. All assignments are due NO LATER than Sunday night (of each week) at 11:59 pm. Late work is rarely accepted, short of extenuating circumstances, and will not be considered until the end of the term. If unable to complete work on- time, you should still submit the late assignment to show your intent and commitment to this course. Due dates will be posted on the Calendar in Canvas, which you can find under the Calendar tab on the left-hand side of the class Canvas page. Tests/Quizzes will be made available the day they are due at 8:00 am, and you will have until 11:59 pm to complete them. You cannot start a test/quiz without finishing it, so please give yourself enough time once you start the exam. Late quizzes will not be accepted. Evaluation Criteria and Grading Standards: Your final grade will be based on the percentage of points from your completed assignments, and your attendance. Attendance will make up 30% of your grade. A = 93-100% of possible points

A- = 90-92% of possible points B+ = 87-89% of possible points B = 83-86% of possible points B- = 80-82% of possible points C+ = 77-79% of possible points C = 73-76% of possible points C- = 70-72% of possible points D+ = 67-69% of possible points D = 60-66% of possible points

F = below 59% of possible points “I” Grades (Incomplete) will not be given. Late assignments are rarely accepted and will only be considered at the end of the quarter, if at all. To be considered, all late work must be turned in by the Friday before finals week.

While faculty permission is not required, a completed add/drop form must be submitted to Registration and Records to complete drops from the 11th instructional day through the 55th calendar day of the quarter. The instructor must sign the form (or an e-mail to Registration) acknowledging the withdrawal. If the instructor is not available, a signature from a full-time advisor in the Advising Center is an acceptable substitute. See Enrollment Services in building 7 for more specific information on drop/add procedures and consequences. Information on deadlines and penalties can be found here: http://www.tacomacc.edu/areasofstudy/academiccalendar

Academic Dishonesty:

As stated in the TCC Catalog, ‘Students are expected to be honest and forthright in their academic endeavors. Cheating, plagiarism, fabrication or other forms of academic dishonesty corrupt the learning process and threaten the educational environment for all students”

In this course academic dishonesty (which includes, but is not limited to plagiarism and/or cheating) will result in a failing grade for the quarter. You may not work together for most assignments in this class, and you must log on to your own account when accessing Canvas content. Roommates and friends must take care with this particularly when taking exams.

All TCC students are expected to comply with the WAC 132V-120-010 CODE OF STUDENT RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. As stated on the TCC website:

http://www.tacomacc.edu/abouttcc/policies/codeofstudentrightsandresponsibilities

Academic dishonesty is a violation of Tacoma Community College Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. In this course, sanctions for academic dishonesty will be as follows: students will at least receive a failing grade for the assignment, and (upon review of the circumstances by Prof. Lund and Dr. Lyman), may receive a failing grade for the quarter.

Accommodations Classroom Policies Etiquette for Classroom

Students with Special Needs: All students are responsible for all requirements of the class, but the way they meet these requirements may vary. If you need specific auxiliary aids or services due to a disability, please contact the Access Services office in Building 7 (253-566-5328). They will require you to present formal, written documentation of your disability from an appropriate professional. When this step has been completed, arrangements will be made for you to receive reasonable auxiliary aids or services. The disability accommodation documentation prepared by Access Services must be given to the course instructor before the accommodation is needed so that appropriate arrangements can be made. Students are expected to participate fully in all online class activities. Students may be contacted with any concerns regarding participation. Late work is not accepted. Missed quizzes, tests, or exam points may not be made up unless you get prior approval from the professor. Emergencies will be considered on a case by case basis, notify the professor ASAP. If you have questions or concerns about this class or Prof. Lund please first contact me about your concerns. If we (you and I) are unable to resolve your concerns, you may talk next with the Program Chair of the Music Department, Dr. Anne Lyman: [email protected], 253-566-6040. The Program Chair can assist with information about additional steps, if needed.

Cell Phone/ Devise Use Caveats

Cell phone use is prohibited during class. If I see you on your cell phone, I reserve the right to remove your attendance points for the day without warning. Please respect my time as a lecturer, and your fellow students’ intention in their active/present learning experience, and also be present so that you can get the most out of your educational experience. Additionally, if you choose to take notes on a laptop/tablet vs. handwriting notes down, I require you to sit in the front row of class. This is for me to be able to make sure you are staying on-task and not using your computer for other classes, or even *gasp* non-academic purposes. This syllabus and calendar are subject to change in certain circumstances. It is your responsibility to check Canvas regularly for announcement
