COURSE POLICIES:
Grading
The grade on each assignment is based on evidence of reaching the COURSE
OBJECTIVES in the process of satisfying the directives specific to each
assignment.
The evaluation of each class assignment or listed portion of the course work
will be specified by a letter grade. The letter grades indicate a
judgment of the quality of the completed assignment. The letter grades
used and their values are listed in the Maryville University catalogue.
The highest grade "A," for instance, marks work of
exceptional quality which shows understanding of the assignment,
understanding of the topic, understanding of the medium, understanding of
the context, understanding of the background; which shows evidence of a
thoughtful organization of ideas, drawing of relationships between ideas,
presenting of concrete supporting evidence and discussion to illustrate
ideas, knowledge of the appropriate broader context of the ideas; which uses
effective and appropriate presentation techniques; which uses effective and
appropriate standard language; which shows insight, inventiveness,
creativity; which shows sensitivity to the current state of knowledge and
information about the topic and contributes to the advancement of knowledge
and understanding of the topic.
The other grades mark work with lesser levels of
mastery in the areas listed above. "B" work is superior, shows some
exceptional quality but not in all areas listed. "C" work is average,
may have some exceptional qualities and some deficiencies. "D" work is
of insufficient quality in some of the areas listed and has little redeeming
quality in those areas. "F" work is insufficient in more areas and has
no sufficient redeeming quality.
Written
work should be clear, coherent, and unified.
Standard spelling, usage, and grammar must be used. If sources are used
or quoted, provide an appropriate and consistent system of crediting the
sources through internal notes, footnotes, or endnotes and provide a list of
sources.
Plagiarism

Any
instance of plagiarism will result in a course grade of “F.”
All instances of plagiarism are reported to the dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences,
who informs other appropriate University offices.
Students must show the teacher copies of any print or electronic materials
used for class projects, if requested.
For definition and examples of plagiarism, see
http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/plagiarism.shtml

The Emerson Studio is a black box theatre space—a room in which stage area

west of the Y intersection of Big Bend and Lockwood. From I-44, exit at Elm
and drive north to Big Bend (first intersection, has a traffic signal). Turn

DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS OF THE COURSE WORK:
- 10% of course grade
Attending the entire performance of all 7 plays
No credit in this category for attending fewer than 7 complete plays.
Establish your attendance by signing in with the teacher before and
after the performance.
Hardship option: Attend another production if you must miss
a scheduled one or choose not to see a scheduled one; hand in a brief
critique + program + ticket stub of that substitute production. This is
the only item that may (and must) be submitted in hard copy during this
course. Latest date to submit: 1 May.
- 40% of course grade
Analysis of ideas in the text - due 17 Apr
Analysis of ideas in the text to show understanding of theatre
principles
Directions:
Show your understanding of what you have seen in the theatres and what you
have read in the text by discussing a concept in any 12 of the 17 chapters
as you witnessed the material in the chapter used (or abused) in one (or
more) of the productions we have seen so far this semester.
For each of the 12 entries:
-
choose a different chapter
-
give the chapter number and title
-
show your understanding by identifying and discussing the concept you
have chosen and using specific examples from the productions to support what
you think—and appropriate brief quotations from the text (with page numbers)
-
draw relationships, whenever pertinent, with other things you have
learned or observed about theatre and other arts—and with the rest of the
chapter
-
use coherent, effective, economical writing—with standard grammar,
usage, punctuation
Suggested length of each of the 12 entries: 2-3
paragraphs, 200-300 words
A sample entry:
Chapter 8 The Designers’ Vision
Design is a concept important in all arts. The pleasure of examining a
painting or hearing a musical piece comes at least in part from the
perception that the parts create a unified whole. The chapter on design in
the text treats the physical aspects of production: scenery, costume,
lighting, and sound. And these, surely, form a daunting group of parts that
must be created individually but ultimately all work together to form an
effective unit: the mounted production.
I wonder whether the designer of [name of play seen in
this course] did what is mentioned on p.139 and stopped there: “My best work
is my doodles on paper napkins in Italian restaurants.” The text describes
multiple meetings and redos and intricate coordination of all the supporting
design elements. In [name of play seen in this course], however, I saw
furniture that seemed chosen for availability rather than appropriateness to
the period of the play or the color scheme on stage (gold velvet Victorian
sofa on stage left with 2 black Eames chairs stage right). And when the lead
female character [name] sat on the sofa for most of Act 2, I was grateful
for at least her mellifluous voice and witty delivery. Without the vocals, I
wouldn’t have been able to spot her, for her blond hair and warm yellow gown
made her nearly invisible on the similarly colored piece of furniture. At
some point in the design or rehearsal periods, these issues should have
identified and addressed.
- 25% of course grade
Participation in the
online discussions of each of the first 3 plays and
the 5th play– due by the dates specified in the Course
Calendar section and the Calendar Table of this syllabus
Contribute, meaningfully, to the discussion of each of the 4 plays.
Entries will be evaluated on the basis of the quality (remarks about
aspects of the production, the script, the venue supported by specific
examples, logical discussion, comparison with other productions).
Don’t simply reiterate or contradict someone else’s contribution; give
the reasons you agree or disagree.
Use the background you’ve absorbed from the textbook to inform your
discussion. Talk about at least some of the following: genre (Ch 3),
style (Ch 4), scenery, costumes, lighting, special effects, kind of
stage, use of the stage, acting, directing.
Write your contribution in Word so you can check grammar, usage,
punctuation; then copy and paste to the D2L discussion.
- 25% of the course grade

CONVERSION
CHART
FOR GRADES ON COMPONENTS OF THE COURSE WORK
Assignments will be given letter grades. (See “Grading”
above for description of expectations for the letter grades.) The letter
grades, though, have to be entered in the Grades section on D2L using
numbers.
To interpret the number recorded for each of your assignments, use this
system:
A = 11
A- = 10
B+ = 9
B = 8
B- = 7
C+ = 6
C = 5
C- = 4
D+ = 3
D = 2
D- = 1
F = 0
For an assignment evaluated B+ and worth 25% of the
final grade, the B+ value (9) is multiplied by the percentage value for that
assignment (25), so the score for the item is 225. The 4 discussions will be allotted 6% each, and the
rogue 1% will be dropped into the system to fill out the 25% allotted for
the discussions.
Total possible score for the sum of all course
assignments (100%) is 1100 (11 x 100).
