Class Attendance/Participation:

Students are expect to practice an average of 30 minutes each day. Practice rooms are available to students enrolled in performing music classes. To receive the practice room key for the quarter, fill out the form (with the check) and turn in the form to the lock box at A-16. The last day to turn the practice room form in is the second Friday of the quarter. After that day, practice room forms will not be accepted.
Homework/Quizzes:
Homework and quizzes will be assigned weekly and will make up, along with class participation, a major portion of your final grade in the class. The homework assignment or quiz may be in written form or may be a performance in front of the instructor. All work and performances must be ready by the beginning of the class on that due date. Missed assignments, for either lack of preparation or missing the class may be made-up during the next class. Students are allowed to make-up only one of the performance quizzes or homework assignments. The homework assignment for each week may range from 3-9 points depending on the amount of work involved.
Mid-Term and Final: (20pts. Each)
There will be one mid-term and one final. The format of the mid-term will basically be the same as the weekly quizzes with a performance in front of the instructor. The format of the final will be a performance for your colleagues. The specific works will be assigned by the instructor.
Drop Policy:
Dropping a course is the responsibility of the student. The last day to drop a course with no record is Jan. 21st. The last day to drop a course with a "W" recorded is March 2nd.

Receiving an "INC":
In the event of an emergency situation, where by a students misses the final, the last assignment or something of that nature, students can receive an incomplete so that the missing work may be made-up within a time frame discussed between the instructor and the student.
