Special note
| Academic accommodations are available for students with disabilities who are registered with the Office of Disability and Support Services. Students in need of disability accommodations should schedule an appointment with me early in the semester to discuss any accommodations for this course which have been approved by Office of Disability and Support Services, as indicated in your DSS accommodation letter. |
Attendance and participation
| Attendance at the weekly seminar is a must. Missing more than two classes will impair your final grade. Although not required, attendance at the weekly "Musical Urbanism lab sessions" is highly recommended. These events will present music, artistic perspectives, and historical backgrounds that are designed to illuminate each week's readings and illustrate the kinds of approaches you might take to the final project. |
| Participation involves reading the assigned texts before the class to which they are assigned, submitting a brief question or response to Blackboard before class, and taking part in the discussions held in class. |
Papers
Final project
| In teams of 2-3 students, you will conduct archival and original research to document an example of musical urbanism. In the last two weeks of regular class, each team will make a 30-minute presentation of their topic. On December 13, each team member will individually turn in a 10-page paper on the topic. |
