RELATION OF COURSE TO GENERAL EDUCATION GOALS
Students will become aware of the historical times and events which gave rise to American jazz music and to the technological and cultural developments which helped to fuel its evolution.
Students will learn to evaluate musical experiences in their cultural contexts, giving rise to a new understanding of their own likes and dislikes.
Students will review musical performances, using clear prose writing and a limited technical vocabulary.
Students will learn to hear and identify musical forms and to recognize the sounds of different instruments within given musical examples.
Students will be encouraged to use print, audio-visual and internet resources in their research for class projects.
Students will read and paraphrase the text, and express their own thoughts in class participation, quizzes, written assignments, and essay-question exams. They will develop essential analytical and communications skills by generating reviews and assessments of live and recorded musical performances.
Students will come to understand why certain sounds and musical experiences may be pleasing or unpleasant to them as individuals, in the light of their own cultural experience. Students will be encouraged to recognize the strength and validity of other cultural aesthetics alongside their own.
Students will learn to appreciate the African-American origins of jazz music and the multi-ethnic, multi-cultural influences which have shaped its subsequent evolution.
DISCUSSION:
Every week, I will post one or more questions for discussion in this area. Every student is required to make at least one substantive post ("that’s right" or "me too" do not constitute substantive posts). These may be questions which demonstrate that you are thinking about the material; they may be statements of opinion with appropriate references and/or documentation. These posts must be made in standard English, not in "webspeak" or any other form of slang. Spelling and grammar will be noted and considered in grading.
WEEKLY QUIZZES:
Every week, there will be a short quiz on the material you have studied. You will be allowed two attempts to take each of these quizzes. You may change your answers at any time before submitting the quiz for grading. However, do not submit the quiz until you are sure it is ready to be graded. Once all students' quizzes have been submitted and graded, you may return to your quiz. You will see your quiz with all correct answers and any comments I have made. While your grades will appear in your "My Grades" module, you will find your completed quizzes and the correct answers and comments given in this view quite valuable in enhancing your understanding of the material and, of course, studying for exams.
INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE/GRADE POSTING:
In most cases, e-mails will be responded to and quiz grades will be posted within 24 hours. Discussion grades may require the posting of all students' submissions. In these cases, grades will be posted by Thursday of the succeeding week. Grades for review papers and exams may take up to ten days to post. I will make every effort to generate feedback for your work as expeditiously as possible. I usually check in to the course twice a day, unless I am out of town or experiencing an unusually busy schedule. Please use Blackboard Mail (the course platform's internal mail client) for all course-related communication during the semester.
VACATIONS/BUSINESS TRAVEL ETC.
Instruction in this course is presented in weekly units. If you are out of town for any reason, it is your responsibility to make sure that you can access the course via the internet from whatever out-of town location you are visiting. There will be no excuses accepted for late coursework. You must be available for testing at the Testing Center during the assigned exam periods.

Cheating, which means knowingly using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information or study aids as defined by the instructor;
