Instructional Methods and Activities The professor will lecture in this course on works of art using digital technology set up in the smart classroom. Although this is a lecture class, student participation through questions and comments is encouraged. Students are responsible for all reading assignments. It is not necessary to bring the textbook to class. All images and necessary information will be displayed during the lecture. In addition to formal review sessions, the content and format of the exam are frequently modeled in class to provide students with greater familiarity regarding the design and evaluation of exam questions. While many images may be shown in class, students will only be responsible for certain images on the exam. Those images and their basic identifying information will be posted online, making computer access a required component for this class. Class information, readings, assignments and quizzes may be communicated through Moodle. Evaluation and Grade Assignment Midterm: 100 pt Final: 100 pt Other: Attendance, in class and homework assignments, art projects and participation Each exam will be a mix of objective type questions. Exams are not comprehensive. For more information, see Section VIII-K Class attendance is not only a vital component to successful performance on exams, it could also be a factor in determining a student’s final grade. Consult the Attendance Policy in section VIII-C. As stated in ULM Student Policy Manual, “Any student who is not present for at least 75% of the scheduled class sessions in any course [which translates to 8 unexcused absences for this course this semester] may receive a grade of ‘W’ if this condition occurs prior to the last day to drop a course or a grade of ‘F’ after that date.” (http://catalog.ulm.edu/index.php?catoid=21) Mid-term grades will be posted on Banner for students to view. Mid-term grades indicate a student’s status at mid-semester only and do not indicate a student’s final performance outcome. The grading scale for the course is a ten point scale. 100-90 = A, 89-80 = B, 79-70 = C, 69-60 = D, and <60 = F.
