• To apply critical thinking and expository writing skills to the history of music.

Course Requirements
Exams
• 4 Quizzes. In the Listening portion of the quiz, several excerpts of the works you have
studied will be played twice, with time in between playings for writing. You will be
asked to identify the composer, composition, movement, genre, and approximate date of
composition. You will also be asked a question about the most important feature(s) of the
excerpt or movement. The Short Answer portion of the quiz consists of questions based
on the readings in the textbook.
• Final Exam (cumulative) on Wednesday 13 December 2017, 8:00-11:00 am.

Written Work
The Music History sequence, which includes MUSI 3210 and 3220, has been designated as
“Writing-Intensive” by the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. Teaching assistants assigned to
these courses receive intensive training from the English Department to help students develop
their writing skills. Our two teaching assistants will help you with the course’s writing
assignments.

* Short paper (2-3 pages). This assignment is designed to give you practice in writing about
music using correct technical language. Instructions are posted on elc. Due Wednesday 13
September, Wednesday 27 September.

* Essay (10-12 pages). A number of essay “kits” will be posted on elc. Each kit consists of
scores, sound files, and selected secondary sources for a particular subject and supports a number
of different essays topics. You are free to design your own topic from these materials. Choose
whichever essay kit you wish and sign up for it on sheets taped to Dr. Link’s office door. A
maximum number of people are permitted to work on each kit. Once the maximum has been
reached for a particular kit, you must choose another. Further instructions are posted on elc. Due
dates for three stages of the essay:
Proposal and annotated bibliography Wednesday 4 October
Draft Wednesday 18 October
Essay Wednesday 15 November

* Paint the Library Assignment. This assignment acquaints you with the books and scores
relevant to your instrument and their location in the library. Instructions are posted on elc. Due
Monday 28 August.

All written work must be typed and submitted in hard copy at the beginning of the class the day it
is due. Footnotes and bibliography are to follow Chicago Style throughout (see sample entries on
elc). No late work will be accepted, except in the case of an excused absence (see Attendance
below). Work that is submitted late at any stage of the assignment will automatically be reduced
to half credit.

Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class. Students who arrive more than 10
minutes late will be marked as absent. You are allowed three (3) unexplained absences. Beyond
that, one point will be deducted from your semester grade for every unexcused absence, up to five
points. Missing more than five classes will result in the instructor withdrawing the student from
the course. Excused absences will be allowed only if accompanied by a signed medical statement
presented to the instructor in the first class period following the absence. For logistical reasons
makeup quizzes will generally not be possible. Each absentee is responsible for all material
covered during the missed class. Failure to arrive in class prepared (with a copy of NAWM),
sleeping, or reading other materials in class will result in the student receiving the equivalent of ½
an absence.

Students who are repeating this course may not submit work from earlier semesters. Duplicate
work will be regarded as an infringement on the University's academic honesty policy. All of us
are responsible for understanding and actively supporting the principles, policies, and procedures
of academic honesty set forth in A Culture of Honesty, which can be consulted here:
www.uga.edu/~ovpi/honesty/ah.pdf. Alleged or suspected violations of these policies will be
referred to the Office of the Vice President of Instruction.

Any student who requires special arrangements to meet course requirements should contact the
instructor as soon as possible to make the necessary arrangements. Students should present
appropriate verification from Disability Services within the first two weeks of the semester.
Students wishing to attain honors credit for the course are required to write a second essay on a
topic of their choosing or from another essay kit. Such students are asked to identify themselves
to the instructor within the first two weeks of the semester.
