Attendance
and Class Involvement Policies:
Student attendance and involvement are essential components in the format of MUSI 1100. Numerous listening examples and technical knowledge is provided during each class session. The expressive structural elements of music can only be learned through direct hearing and guided assistance. Students who experience difficulty with the attendance policy in this or any class should meet with the instructor to discuss these difficulties as soon as they occur. Absences for official school activities, a death in the family, and illness may be excused, however, it is the student's responsibility to make the instructor appropriately and officially aware of the conflict in writing. As a hybrid, this course meets for in-class instruction only fifteen times for the entire semester. After three unexcused absences a penalty of 3% will be applied to the final grade for each absence. Five or more unexcused absences constitute an automatic failure of the course. An attendance sheet will be passed around at the beginning of each class period. It is the student’s responsibility to sign it within the first ten minutes of class time. Students who arrive more than ten minutes late to any class period will receive an unexcused absence for that class period.

All
assigned work is due on time. Late work is not accepted. There
will be no "extra credit" awarded in this class. Attendance on test
days is mandatory. Absence from class on designated test days
(without prior written notice to the instructor) will result
in the failure of that test - without exception.
*Remember
- If you have any type of problem speak to the instructor. Things can be worked
out but only if the instructor is made aware.
Honesty and Integrity of Submitted Work:
There are established rules concerning academic honesty. Forbidden activities include, but are not limited to: cheating at examinations; submitting work that is not your own work but is copied from someone else; submitting as your work the work of others from books, from the web and from elsewhere that has not been properly accredited (plagiarism). Plagiarism is a serious academic offence and will result in the failure of the section of the course where it appears and it may also result in further action on the part of South Georgia State College.
