| Program Detail |
: Exposure to the Humanities is an integral part of a well-rounded undergraduate curriculum. This course is Internet-based and takes the student on a spin through the world of music and how it has changed through time. Students start by building a baseline vocabulary of musical elements (such as harmony, melody, rhythm, form) and will acquire active listening skills. The student will then survey a variety of composers, styles and periods, from Medieval chant to World Music and Rock, spanning the Middle Ages to the present time. The Web lectures are divided into 15 units and are embedded with such features as audio examples, film and book recommendations, and links to other resources on the Web. The course also features personal instructor videos, a Bulletin Board just for this course, and a library of quizzes that you can use to test yourself and prepare for examinations. The instructor will always answer E-mail questions within 24-hours of posting. The student's grade is determined by his/her performance on both a mid-term and final examination, both of which are proctored and administered in the same fashion as other proctored ACPM examinations. |
