Course Description: Continuation of Performance Ear

Course Objective: PFET 373 and 374 form a two-course
group whose intent is to improve the student's aural skills in connection with
the principal instrument. Upon
satisfactory completion of this course the student will be better able to
instrumentally reproduce what is heard both internally and externally.
Required Textbook: Provided by faculty.
Homework, Projects, Out-of-class
Preparation: Quizzes and weekly
assignments will be required. In
order to maintain satisfactory standing in this class, approximately three to
four hours per week of out of-class preparation are recommended.
Midterms: March 8-12
Final Exams: May 3-7
Grading Criteria:
A (90-100) Superior,
exceptional; control of course material enables excellent production.
B (80-89) Good;
grasp of material enables above-average production.
C (70-79) Average;
assimilation of material enables acceptable production.
D (60-69) Below
Average; exposure to material enables poor, but passable production.
F (below 60) Not
passing; assimilation of material insufficient to demonstrate acceptable
productive capacity.
Final Grade Determination: Your final grade will be determined by
considering the following
components at the indicated weights:
25% Quizzes and in-class performance
25% Midterm exam
50% Final exam
Attendance Policy: If your third unexcused absence occurs
before the "W" deadline (see below), the instructor may withdraw you
from the course. If your third
unexcused absence occurs after this deadline, a course grade of F may result. Withdrawal is not automatic. It is ultimately your responsibility to
initiate withdrawal proceedings prior to the "W" deadline. In case of
doubt, ask the instructor or the Counseling Center.
Deadline for Course Withdrawal: 5:00 PM
Friday, March 26, 2004. Neither
