Expectations from students
1. Attendance. Please refer to the CCA Student Handbook (p. 12). Attendance - Student attendance and participation in this course are
essential to learning the material. Students are expected to attend each class, be on time, and stay for the entire session. Failure to
attend will negatively affect the student’s grade.
2. Because this is a classroom, mandatory attendance will be reduced to project presentation days. As per college policy, students are
expected to complete assignments on-time. While some projects span the entire semester, others are due on specific dates
throughout the semester. Ten percent (10%) of the total points available (or a minimum of 1 point) are deducted from a student's
grade on a project when it is received after the stated due time (usually 11:59 p.m.) on the due date unless otherwise stated on the
rubric for the individual project/assignment. An additional 5% (or a minimum of 1 point) is deducted for each day the
project/assignment is late. Work that is more than one week late will not be accepted without a doctor's note submitted to the
instructor or proof of other emergency beyond the student's control. Be sure to consult the rubric for the individual project for more
complete details. Students who are unable to complete the work during the semester are eligible for an Incomplete only if the
reason fits the College's guidelines for an incomplete. If an Incomplete is granted, it will automatically convert to the grade of F if
the work is not completed by the end of the following semester.
3. Tests and Make-ups. All quizzes for this course must be completed and will be delivered during class schedule.
4. Extra Credit. Students are expected to complete the projects as required for the class and to do the best they can on each project
throughout the semester. Thus, it is the policy of the instructor not to give additional assignments for extra credit for students who
wish to pull up their grades at the end of semester.
Every attempt is made to provide a complete syllabus that provides an accurate overview of the courses. However, circumstances
and events may make it necessary for the instructor to modify the syllabus during the semester. This may depend, in part, on the
progress, needs and experiences of the students.
5. Students participate in the discussion, and answer the discussion questions. Failure to do those in 3 weeks will mean dropping from
the course.
6. Requirements such as assignments/projects should be submitted/posted on or before the given deadline.
7. Coordinate with the professor, using various modes given on concerns/problems regarding the requirements.

8. Non-submission of requirements will be incomplete from the course.

TIPS ON HOW TO DO WELL IN TEACHING MUSIC THE K-12 CURRICULUM. This course is fast-paced and covers a large
amount of material. The exams will be challenging, and the entirety of the lecture portion of the final grade will come from these exam
grades. As a result, in order to do well in this course students should attend every lecture and take a lot of notes. As the exams will
cover primarily lecture material, high-quality notes will be critical for their success in this course. The lecture templates will be
provided a week before the actual delivery of instruction, and it is suggested that they print them out and bring them to class for
note-taking purposes. Reading the textbook chapters before each associated lecture is required and will be extremely beneficial in
understanding the lecture content. In order to fully-digest the content covered in this course, they must set themselves up for success by
not falling behind; it may not be possible for them to catch up. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST EVENING BEFORE THE
EXAMS TO BEGIN STUDYING…!! Plan to spend 2-3 hours of home study for every hour in the classroom.

Welcome to Teaching Music and Arts in the K - 12 course, good luck, and have a great semester!
