COURSE REQUIREMENTS
Citations in Writing:
In all writing projects, proper source citation is expected. Not citing sources constitutes academic dishonesty (see below).
Students should note that Wikipedia.com and other internet sources where the integrity of information cannot be verified will
not be accepted. The responsibility of verifying the integrity of internet sources rests on the student. Questions should be
directed to prof. Manchester.
Concert Evaluations: See Blackboard for help - up to 100 points for each of 3 concert reviews,
comprising 20% of final grade.
Every student must attend at least three performances of concert music and write an evaluation of
the experience. Concerts are listed in the Arts & Ideas calendar as well as on the Department of
Music website. Concerts not held at Lewis University must be pre-approved—Contact Prof.
Manchester.
Exams:
20% of your grade, exams exclusively evaluate the textbook unit they cover. They have due dates,
found in the timetable and on Blackboard.
Listening Journals:
Listen to selected music pieces and journal observations about them each week. More info on your
criteria for grading is given in the rubric on Blackboard. See musicforthelistener.org (Unit 1
Introduction) for help – up to 100 points for each of 15 journals, comprising 20% of final grade.
Discussion Boards:
A new discussion topic is posted on Monday of each new chapter. Discussions are 20% of your final
grade, and a vital part of the learning process, in which much is learned about the progress of the
student - - information which can prove beneficial when considering grades on other aspects of the
course. To earn full credit, Make 4 posts over the course of 3 separate days. Posts should be
thoughtful – a portion of your score is determined by the quality of the ideas. You will need to make a
first post before you can observe others' posts. More info on your criteria for grading is given in the
rubric on Blackboard. This is your 'class participation' and thus your attendance grade. For this
reason, missed Discussion Board topics cannot be made up.
Final Project:
See Blackboard for guidelines – up to 100 points comprising 20% of final grade. Deadlines for topic
and bibliography are in the Timetable found at the Start Here menu. More info on your criteria for

CLASS ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to attend all classes as part of the normal learning process. In addition, students
must be especially consistent in attendance, both on-ground and online, during the first two weeks of
the semester to confirm registration and to be listed on the official course roster. Students who fail to
follow this procedure and who have not received prior approval from the instructor for absences will
be withdrawn from the courses in question by certification of the instructor on the official class lists.
The Illinois Student Assistance Commission also requires attendance as a “demonstration of academic
progress toward a degree” as one criterion for retaining financial aid awards. (2013-2014
Undergraduate Catalog, p. 35). As noted above, I consider Discussion Boards to be your attendance.
4. ACADEMIC HONESTY
Scholastic integrity lies at the heart of Lewis University. Plagiarism, collusion and other forms of
cheating or scholastic dishonesty are incompatible with the principles of the University. Students
engaging in such activities are subject to loss of credit and expulsion from the University. Cases
involving academic dishonesty are initially considered and determined at the instructor level. If the
student is not satisfied with the instructor’s explanation, the student may appeal at the
department/program level. Appeal of the department /program decision must be made to the Dean
of the college/school. The Dean reviews the appeal and makes the final decision in all cases except
those in which suspension or expulsion is recommended, and in these cases the Provost makes the
final decision.
CLASSROOM DECORUM
In order to maintain an environment conducive to learning and student development, it is expected
that classroom discourse is respectful and non-disruptive. The primary responsibility for managing
the classroom environment rests with the faculty. Students who engage in any prohibited or unlawful
acts that result in disruption of a class may be directed by the faculty member to leave class for the
remainder of the class period. Students considered to be a disruption or who present a threat of
potential harm to self or others may be referred for action to the Dean of Student Services. (2012-
2013 Student Handbook, p. 15).
SANCTIFIED ZONE
This learning space is an extension of Lewis University’s Sanctified Zone, a place where people are
committed to working to end racism, bias and prejudice by valuing diversity in a safe and nurturing
environment. This active promotion of diversity and the opposition to all forms of prejudice and bias
are a powerful and healing expression of our desire to be Signum Fidei, “Signs of Faith,” in
accordance with the Lewis Mission Statement. To learn more about the Sanctified Zone, please visit:

reasonable accommodation, please speak with the Learning Access Coordinator at the Center for
Academic Success and Enrichment (CASE). Please make an appointment by calling 815-836-5593

STUDENT COMPLAINT POLICY
Lewis University is committed to a policy of fair treatment of its students in their relationships with
fellow students, faculty, staff and administrators. Students are encouraged to seek an informal
resolution of a dispute directly with the faculty or individual(s) involved when possible. Dealing with
concerns in the most direct and honest fashion should always be the first step toward resolution.
Many problems are resolved when one makes an appointment with a faculty or staff member and
communicates their concerns.
