Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The lessons in this course will be conducted mainly through theoretical presentation, but active and applied methods will also be involved; and these, in an environment which in large part assists comprehension through supplementary explanation and examples in order to help students acquire the methods and techniques used in the study of music. The practical exercises performed throughout the course will include the discussion of both primary technical skills addressed by the educational literature and also students assignments and completed research papers. The instructor will guide students to seek answers to questions resulting from these discussions and ask them to comment on their classmates presentations.

The goal of homework assignments is to guide students toward particular research topics by starting with the practical technical skills discussed and shown in class and, by presenting the results of this research in a classroom environment, promote further discussion of the material.

Assessment Methods

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

Students will be assigned individual research topics to be completed by a certain deadline. These assignments will be methodological and technical applications and will eventually take the form of reports. Assignments must be prepared 1) using Microsoft Word and Powerpoint programs, 2) following all manual of style guidelines, 3) be turned in to the course instructor in printed form and accompanied by a digital copy easily identifiable by both the preparer s name and the assignment title.

The course will include one written exam per semester which will determine 50% of the student s grade. The exam will cover all material discussed in classes, including questions dealing with presentations from individual homework assignments. The exam will be composed of either open or close-ended questions.
