AVAILABILITY OF INSTRUCTOR:It is
my policy to be available to students as much as is humanly possible.
I can be found in my office at times other than stated office
hours. Such times are indicated as yellow boxes on the schedule
card on my door. I must ask, however, that you not disturb my
work at the Hartzell Media Group, and that you not call my home
after 9:30 p.m.
SPECIAL NEEDS: Any
student with a documented disability (e.g., mobility, learning,
psychological, vision, hearing, etc.) who needs to arrange
accommodations
must contact both myself and Disability Services at the beginning
of the term.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This
course is part of a two-semester course related to the study of Form

larger hierarchic forms (sonata form, rondo form, and theme &

PLEASE NOTE: As you should be aware this is a very
special spring semester. Although I do not officially retire
until July 31st, my last day on the job at Baldwin-Wallace College will
be Wednesday, May 10th. This means some very important
things to students in my classes.
| 1. |
All back assignments from the first 8 weeks of the semester must be in by Friday, March 17th. |
| 2. |
All homework assignments and other graded items (such as keyboard) given after spring break must be completed by Friday, April 28th. |
| 3. | Any term papers and/or final projects must be completed by the assigned times. |
| 4. | I will turn in my final grades during the morning of Wednesday, May 10th. |
| 5. | Because I will not be back in the fall, there will be NO incompletes given at the end of this spring semester. |
COURSE GRADING: COURSE GRADING:
| A+ = 100 | B+ = 91 | C+ = 82 | D+ = 73 | F+ = 64 |
| A = 99-93 | B = 90-84 | C = 83-75 | D = 72-66 | F = 63-60 |
| A- = 92 | B- = 83 | C- = 74 | D- = 65 | F- = 59 & below |
At the end of the semester the sum of such grades will be averaged and the proper letter grade will be assigned.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: "Academic dishonesty refers not simply to dishonesty in examinations, but to any behavior, such as plagiarism, which violates academic standards. Matters of dishonesty may be handled by the professor and student involved, and may be appealed to the Student-Faculty Problems Committee." Baldwin-Wallace College STUDENT HANDBOOK, p 17.
FINAL CAVEAT: The above schedule and procedures in this course are subject to change in the event of extenuating circumstances. It should also be noted that the requirements stated above under COURSE OBJECTS represent minimum expectations, students in Section 1 are to assume that they will be required to go beyond the stated minimum.
