Course Policies

Grades

Grading in a course based on collaboration has as much to do with how you work with others as with your own submissions. As a result, good will and active involvement count. Roughly speaking, one third of your grade will be derived from your written and digital work posted to the blog, one third from your final project, and one third from overall participation, attendance, and the visible signs that the work of the seminar and that of your peers have become important to you in ways that may not be quantifiable.

Absence from Performances and Events

It inevitably happens that someone has to miss a scheduled event. If so, please contact me or a classmate as soon as you realize that you cannot attend the event. With sufficient notice, we may be able to give your seat to someone else. Sometimes you can see the event on your own at a later date. If not, you will need to substitute another event for the one you missed and to post a report on the class blog.
