Extra Credit
Near the end of the quarter De Anza College performing groups present concerts on- and off-campus, and music students present a series of free student recitals on Thursdays at 12:30-1:20. Sometimes I give limited extra credit for attendance at these concerts.
| NOTE: There is no guarantee that extra-credit assignments will be available each quarter, and it is possible that the conditions for earning extra credit may differ from those described here. Updated policies will be announced in class each quarter - usually during the second half of the term. |
Any recital that qualifies for this credit will be specifically announced in class and on this web site. Please note that the
only qualifying concerts are performances by De Anza College groups found on this page - no other events will qualify.
| De Anza College Music Department concerts and recitals that are eligible for extra credit will be listed here during the final weeks of the term. |
Assignment Details
In order to earn extra credit for recital attendance you must do the following:
- Attend a recital from the preceding list. You must attend the entire recital from start to finish. If you arrive late or leave early you will not be eligible for credit. (Note: You may not earn extra credit for attending a concert in which you are a participant.)
- Sign in and out on sheets that will be available at the recital up until 5 minutes before the scheduled start of the event. You must arrive before this time to check in or you will not be eligible for credit.*
- Write a one page summary of the recital. It may be a combination of objective description and subjective reaction. This is not a concert report and it does not follow the concert report format.
- The summary must be typed and it must be turned in no later than the start of the next class meeting. Include the concert program.
You may attend and report on
up to three listed concerts or recitals for extra credit. The credit is generally enough to make raise a borderline grade to the next higher grade so you are strongly urged to take advantage of this opportunity.
These concerts are
not eligible for concert reports unless they are separately listed in the
Concert List. If a concert is listed both here and in the
Concert List, you may use it for
either a concert report
or for extra credit
but not for both. In other words, if you do a concert report on such an event you may not also use it for extra credit; if you use it for extra credit you may not also do a concert report on it.
* The procedure for signing in/out may vary. For example, when you arrive you may be given a slip of paper to fill out and return at the end, etc. If the instructor is not at the event to hand out and collect attendance slips you must include the concert program with the summary you hand in, and the summary must mention each of the pieces performed.
Extra credit attendance records
Extra credit event attendance will be listed here at the end of the term.
