Humanities General Education Descriptions and Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)

Humanities courses provide instruction in the history, key themes, principles, terminology, and
theory or methodologies used within a humanities discipline or the humanities in general.
Students will learn to identify and to analyze the key elements, biases, and influences that shape
thought. These courses emphasize clear and effective analysis and approach issues and
problems from multiple perspectives. See https://undergrad.aa.ufl.edu/general-education/gen-
ed-program/subject-area-objectives/ for additional details.

Humanities SLOs
▪ Content: Identify, describe, and explain the history, underlying theory, and
methodologies used in the course disciplines.
▪ Critical Thinking: Identify and analyze key elements, biases, and influences that shape
thought within the subject area. Approach issues and problems within the discipline
from multiple perspectives.
▪ Communication: Communicate knowledge, thoughts, and reasoning clearly and
effectively.

International SLOs
▪ Content: Identify, describe, and explain the historical, cultural, economic, political,
and/or social experiences and processes that characterize the contemporary world.
▪ Critical Thinking: Analyze and reflect on the ways in which cultural, economic,
political, and/or social systems and beliefs mediate understandings of an increasingly
connected contemporary world.
▪ Communication: The international designation is always in conjunction with another
category. Communication outcomes are listed in those subject areas.

Course Objectives and Goals

Throughout the course students should develop an understanding of Western art music of the
Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque Periods through:
▪ recognizing key musical works, genres, styles, and composers in both aural and written
formats (GE-H Content SLO),
▪ identifying markers of genre and style in both aural and written formats, and associating
markers with appropriate composers (GE-H Content and Critical Thinking SLOs),
▪ reading and discussing musical scores and recordings (GE-H Content and Critical
Thinking SLOs; GE-I Content SLO),

2
 ▪ describing, discussing, and writing about historical and musical concepts (GE-H
Content, Critical Thinking, and Communication SLOs; GE-I Content and Critical
Thinking SLOs).

Diversity and Inclusion Statement

I encourage students of all ethnicities, religions, genders, sexual orientations, classes, ages, and
abilities to express their opinions, viewpoints, and experiences. Every person has something
valuable to offer to their peers and the instructors in this course! If at any time you have a question
or concern about diversity or inclusion, please email or set up a meeting to talk with Dr. Dallman.

Disability Accommodations
Students with disabilities that are requesting accommodations should first register with the
Disability Resource Center (352-392-8565, https://disability.ufl.edu/) by providing appropriate
documentation. Once registered, students will receive an accommodation letter, which must be
presented to Dr. Dallman when requesting accommodations. Students with disabilities should
follow this procedure as early as possible in the semester.

Assignments
Unless otherwise noted, assignments are due at 11:59 PM on the date specified on the Course
Schedule and published on Canvas and must be submitted through Canvas. Information on
semester grades is available under Grading.

Museum Project: In the first part of the semester, students will be working on a multi-stage project
connected to influential families and/or cities of the Renaissance Period. The project is broken into
several smaller submissions due on Fridays. Students will be assigned a team based on their
requests. The project will culminate in a presentation day in the format of a museum exhibit, which
will be evaluated by both peer reviews and Dr. Dallman. (GE-H Content, Critical Thinking, and
Communication SLOs)

Program Notes: In the last part of the semester, each student will be required to take one work
from their lesson repertoire and create program notes for the work. The assignment will include
an initial submission, peer and instructor reviews, and a revised submission. If the work can
correspond to one of the time periods covered in MUH 3211, then great! Knowing, though, that
some instruments do not have repertoire from the Medieval, Renaissance, or Baroque periods,
works within these time periods are not required. (GE-H Content, Critical Thinking, and
Communication SLOs; GE-I Content SLO)

Score Study Sheets: These worksheets target style characteristics of a work and tie these
characteristics to specific composers, time periods, and genres. These worksheets will address both
known and unknown scores and are designed to help students prepare for score-based questions
on exams. Score Study Sheets are due each Wednesday. (GE-H Content and Critical Thinking
SLOs)

3
In-Class Assignments/Class Discussions: Occasional assignments will be completed during class
time and are designed to address targeted concepts. These assignments my include group and
individual work. These assignments are not always listed in the syllabus; regardless of their listing,
students must have an excused absence to make up in-class work. Class discussion topics are listed
in the syllabus. On these days, students will either complete group or individual work that
contributes to the class discussion. This discussion-based work will be graded as participatory.
(GE-H Content, Critical Thinking, and Communication SLOs; GE-I Critical Thinking SLO)

Wrapper: After the first exam, students will complete a self-evaluation of their performance on
the exam and also provide feedback on the clarity of the exam.

Extra Credit: Office hour visits with Dr. Dallman or your TA will bump your grade. You can
earn extra credit for up to four visits. Each visit will count for 0.25 points, adding up to no more
than 1.00. In an office hour visit, you must have a point besides coming for the extra credit.
You can have a casual conversation about life or school or you can come with a specific question
regarding course material. Meetings are expected to last, at a minimum, five minutes.

Quizzes/Exams
Chapter Quizzes: Quizzes for each chapter must be completed through Canvas. You may use
your book as you take each quiz. Quizzes are due by 11:59 every Sunday evening. Quizzes will
not be timed. Your lowest quiz score, like your lowest Score Study Sheet score, will be dropped.
(GE-H Content and Critical Thinking SLOs)

Listening Quizzes: Listening Quizzes will occur throughout the course of the semester during
regular class times. Titles of the works will be provided on each quiz; students must provide
composers and a timeline of works. Notes and other resources are not allowed on Listening
Quizzes. (GE-H Content and Critical Thinking SLOs)

Exams: There will be three exams during the semester. Each exam will each have two parts. The
first part of each exam will cover course content in the form of matching, multiple-choice, and
true/false questions. The second part of each exam will cover course content in the form of short
answers and essays. Like Chapter Quizzes, exams will not be timed; however, they will have a
specific window of time - at least 48 hours - in which they will be open for completion and
submission. Dr. Dallman and your TA will grade stringently on exams, as students have open-
access to all course resources. (GE-H Content, Critical Thinking, and Communication SLOs)

Writing Requirement
This course meets the UF Writing Requirement for 2,000 written words. The Writing Requirement
(WR) ensures students both maintain their fluency in writing and use writing as a tool to facilitate
learning. Keep in mind, too, that course grades have two components. To receive writing
requirement credit, a student must receive a grade of C or higher and a satisfactorily completion
of the writing component of the course.

Dr. Dallman will evaluate and provide feedback on all students’ written assignments that count
toward the writing requirement with respect to grammar, punctuation, clarity, coherence, and

4
organization. For MUH 3211, the assignment word counts and submission deadlines are as
follows:

Why Should I Listen Critically? (300 words, Due Week 3)

Students will construct a three-pronged argument as to why critical listening is significant.

Deeper Listening: Syllabus Works (2 @ 400 words each, Due Weeks 5, 7, and 9)
Students will choose three musical works from the syllabus and listen critically to these works.
After listening, students must identify three time spans or time points in the musical recording and
describe, in detail, why these moments caught their aural attention. Students may choose to focus
on elements such as melodic content, harmonic content, texture, instrumentation, and rhythmic
complexity and they may choose to give detailed descriptions or make comparative commentary.
As this is not an exhaustive list, additional critical observations are welcome, but at no point in the
essay should the student’s writing double material discussed in class meetings. The essay should
conclude with a paragraph that recognizes if and how this deep listening exercise has altered the
student’s aural relationship with this work.

Deeper Listening: Student Choice (400 words, Due Week 11)

Students will choose a musical work written between 1600 and 1750 that is not listed on the
syllabus or course anthology and listen critically to the work. After listening, students must identify
three time spans or time points in the musical recording and describe, in detail, why these moments
caught their aural attention. Students may choose to focus on elements such as melodic content,
harmonic content, texture, instrumentation, and rhythmic complexity and they may choose to give
detailed descriptions or make comparative commentary. As this is not an exhaustive list, additional
critical observations are welcome. The essay should conclude with a paragraph that recognizes if
and how this deep listening exercise has altered the student’s aural relationship with this work.

Revision Opportunity (400 words, Due Monday of Week 13)

Students may choose to revise one of their Deeper Listening assignments and resubmit it on this
date. In the case of resubmission, the resubmission will count toward the 2000-word count instead
of the original. It is not required that students resubmit their writing, but it is highly encouraged.

Practical Application (500 words, Due Monday of Finals Week)

Students will choose one of the four works they have considered during the listening project and
use this work as the basis for a newly designed public presentation. Music educators will put
together a lesson plan for teaching about the chosen work at an appropriate grade level, describing
a detailed plan in written format. Performance majors will use the chosen work as the basis of a
larger concert program, describing how the chosen work serves as a central or launching point for
the rest of the program. Theory and composition majors will address why or how their chosen
work has a compelling compositional procedure or harmonic underpinning. Students completing
a degree in music and an outside field have a choice. They can 1) relate their chosen work to some
aspect of their outside field or 2) follow the requirements for any of the other majors (education,
performance, or theory/composition).

Assignment Submissions and Late Work Policy
To be able to receive full credit, assignments have to be submitted through Canvas on time. This
generally means 11:59 PM on the dates published to Canvas. A general schedule of topics and due
dates is available at the end of the syllabus.

To deter late submissions, late work will receive deductions, which will be applied automatically
through Canvas. For every hour work is late, the overall assignment grade will be reduced by
0.75%. Work submitted after 72 hours from the original due date and time will not be accepted.

Please make sure your assignment uploads! If a submission is missing, you will receive a zero
grade, so again, please make sure your assignment uploads correctly! If you cannot make a
submission through Canvas due to a technical difficulty, email your assignment directly to Dr.
Dallman.

Writing assignments will be evaluated both on content and technical elements. All writing should
follow the rules of standard English and will be evaluated with respect to proper spelling, grammar,
punctuation, word usage, clarity, coherence, and organization. If writing is not your forte, please
consider using the services provided by the UF Writing Studio (https://writing.ufl.edu/writing-
studio/). The staff at the Writing Studio will assist with questions related to your writing, but will
not proofread or edit your work for you. The Writing Studio also has valuable resources in the
form of citation guides and helpful videos on subjects including time management, note taking,
citation/plagiarism, and study tips.

Academic Conduct
UF students are bound by The Honor Pledge, which states, “We, the members of the University of
Florida community, pledge to hold ourselves and our peers to the highest standards of honor and
integrity. On all work submitted for credit by students at the University of Florida, the following
pledge is either required or implied: ‘On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized
aid in doing this assignment.’” The Honor Code (https://sccr.dso.ufl.edu/policies/student-honor-
code-student-conduct-code/) specifies a number of behaviors that are in violation of this code and
the possible sanctions. Furthermore, you are obligated to report any condition that facilitates
academic misconduct to appropriate personnel. If you have any questions or concerns, please
consult with the instructor or TAs in this class.

Cheating on exams and using someone else’s ideas in a written paper without providing proper
recognition of the source (plagiarizing) are serious matters. Anyone caught cheating or plagiarizing
is subject to an automatic E and further disciplinary action. All violations of academic honesty will
be referred to the Dean of Students Office for disciplinary action without exception. Instances of
plagiarism will be treated on an individual basis, but can result in a failing grade for the course.

If you are repeating this course, please be aware that turning in any part of any written assignment
that you submitted for this course in the past also constitutes academic misconduct. See “Scope
and Violations” under the Honor Code above.

7
Class Attendance and Make-Up Policy
Consistent and punctual class attendance is expected and attendance will be taken for each class
meeting by the TA. Although attendance is not counted in the grade allocations, more than three
unexcused absences or habitual tardiness may negatively impact your grade. Missed class results
in missed class discussions and students may find it difficult to catch up successfully with course
materials. Additionally, students are not allowed to make up in-class group work or listening
quizzes without a documented excused absence.

Excused absences are consistent with university policies in the undergraduate catalog
(https://catalog.ufl.edu/ugrad/current/regulations/info/attendance.aspx) and require appropriate
documentation. You may make up any activities from class meetings on a day you have a
documented excused absence. Your make-up work must be submitted no later than a week after
the assignment was originally given.

The best practice when you are absent is to email Dr. Dallman through Canvas to explain your
absence. It is better to be in contact with your professor about your absence than to be silent about
it. If you do not explain an absence, it is automatically recorded as unexcused.

Also keep in mind that you are responsible for all assigned work regardless of attendance or
punctuality. If you miss a class for any reason, you are still responsible for submitting out-of-class
assignments and getting notes from a classmate. If you need help procuring notes, Dr. Dallman
will help you find a classmate to ask for notes.

Grading
Dr. Dallman and your TA will work to grade your assignments and exams in an efficient
manner. Please keep in mind, though, that Dr. Dallman and your TA have to balance your class
with several additional responsibilities. All graded work will have feedback. If points are deducted,
there should be a clear explanation. If not, contact Dr. Dallman or your TA.

Grades for this course are allocated as follows:

18% = Exams 1, 2 (9% each) 12% = Listening Quizzes

15% = Museum Project 10% = Program Notes
13% = Final Exam 10% = Content Quizzes
12% = Score Study Sheets 10% = In-Class Work, Wrapper

Final grades will be calculated according to the percentage system below. The Gradebook in
Canvas will be updated regularly to show your current grade. If you are doing poorly near the
withdrawal deadline, please discuss your progress with Dr. Dallman.

Grading Scale (%) for UF Music History Classes:

94.00-100.00 A 74.00-76.99 C
91.00-93.99 A- 71.00-73.99 C-

Keep in mind that music majors must receive a C or above to pass MUH 3211. A minimum grade
of C is also required for general education credit. A C- is not a passing grade. Information on the
conversion of grades to the University of Florida’s grade point averages can be found at
https://student.ufl.edu/minusgrades.html.

More information on grades and grading policies is available here:

https://catalog.ufl.edu/ugrad/current/regulations/info/grades.aspx.

Please note: specific grade questions and concerns will only be discussed with the student. Due to
the 1974 Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Dr. Dallman cannot and will not discuss
your progress or grades with your parents. For more information on FERPA, please visit
http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/ferpa.html. Any correspondence received from your parents or
guardians will be responded to with a link to the FERPA information site and nothing more.

Additional Policies
Zoom Meetings: In the event that we need to have Zoom class sessions, they will be audio-visually
recorded and available on a Canvas page. Students who participate with their camera engaged or
utilize a profile image are agreeing to have their video or image recorded. If you are unwilling to
consent to have your profile or video image recorded, be sure to keep your camera off and do not
use a profile image. Likewise, students who un-mute during class and participate orally are
agreeing to have their voices recorded. If you are not willing to consent to have your voice
recorded during class, you will need to keep your mute button activated and communicate
exclusively using the "chat" feature, which allows students to type questions and comments live.
As in all courses, unauthorized recording and unauthorized sharing of recorded materials is
prohibited.

9
Zoom Etiquette: The following information is excerpted and adapted from the Netiquette Guide
for Online Courses: It is important to recognize that the online classroom is in fact a classroom,
and certain behaviors are expected when you communicate with both your peers and your
instructors. When attending a Zoom class or meeting, you should:
▪ not share your Zoom classroom link or password with others.
▪ dress appropriately. Even though you may be alone at home, your professor and classmates
can see you! While attending class in your pajamas is tempting, you may want to re-
consider wearing them. Also remember that clothing for Zoom class meetings is required;
wearing clothing is not optional.
▪ be aware of your surroundings. Your professor and classmates can see what is behind you.
Make sure the background is not distracting or something you would not want your
classmates to see. (When in doubt use a virtual background.)
▪ test any virtual background out first to make sure your device can support it. Your
background can express your personality, but be sure to avoid using backgrounds that may
contain offensive images and language.
▪ mute your microphone. Don’t leave your microphone open because of noise interference.
▪ raise your hand if you want to speak (click the “raise hand” button at the center bottom of
your screen) and wait to be called upon.

Evaluations: Students are expected to provide professional and respectful feedback on the quality
of instruction in this course by completing course evaluations online via GatorEvals. Guidance
on how to give feedback in a professional and respectful manner is available
at https://gatorevals.aa.ufl.edu/students/. Students will be notified when the evaluation period
opens, and can complete evaluations through the email they receive from GatorEvals, in their
Canvas course menu under GatorEvals, or via https://ufl.bluera.com/ufl/. Summaries of course
evaluation results are available to students at https://gatorevals.aa.ufl.edu/public-results/.

In-Class Recording: Students are allowed to record video or audio of class lectures. However, the
purposes for which these recordings may be used are strictly controlled. The only allowable
purposes are (1) for personal educational use, (2) in connection with a complaint to the university,
or (3) as evidence in, or in preparation for, a criminal or civil proceeding. All other purposes are
prohibited. Specifically, students may not publish recorded lectures without the written consent of
the instructor.

A “class lecture” is an educational presentation intended to inform or teach enrolled students about
a particular subject, including any instructor-led discussions that form part of the presentation, and
delivered by any instructor hired or appointed by the University, or by a guest instructor, as part
of a University of Florida course. A class lecture does not include lab sessions, student
presentations, clinical presentations such as patient history, academic exercises involving solely
student participation, assessments (quizzes, tests, exams), field trips, private conversations
between students in the class or between a student and the faculty or lecturer during a class session.

Publication without permission of the instructor is prohibited. To “publish” means to share,

transmit, circulate, distribute, or provide access to a recording, regardless of format or medium, to
another person (or persons), including but not limited to another student within the same class
section. Additionally, a recording, or transcript of a recording, is considered published if it is

10
posted on or uploaded to, in whole or in part, any media platform, including but not limited to
social media, book, magazine, newspaper, leaflet, or third party note/tutoring services. A student
who publishes a recording without written consent may be subject to a civil cause of action
instituted by a person injured by the publication and/or discipline under UF Regulation 4.040
Student Honor Code and Student Conduct Code.

Technology Policy: Internet access is required this semester, as is access to Canvas and Zoom.
Students with financial hardships that make regular computer access difficult should speak with
Dr. Dallman immediately. To respect the instructor and other students, mute your microphone
when entering a Zoom class meeting. Please refrain from visiting social media or other websites
and checking email during class meetings. When you are engaged with other sites, you are not
engaged with the class!

For E-learning technical support contact the UF Computing Help Desk at 352-392-4357 or via e-
mail at helpdesk@ufl.edu. The Help Desk website is https://helpdesk.ufl.edu.

Communication and Correspondence: Dr. Dallman will communicate primarily through

Canvas. Any changes to the course schedule or due dates, along with new resources and other
course information, will be provided in an announcement on Canvas. For Discussion Board
policies, see the Canvas File labeled “Discussion Boards.” Emails can be sent through Canvas or
directly to Dr. Dallman or your TA. When writing emails, think about how you are presenting
yourself through your email. Aim for clarity and use a professional tone. You are emailing your
instructors, not your pals that you are meeting later for coffee or … other beverages.

Comprehension and Responsibility: Students are responsible for understanding the policies and
procedures in this syllabus. If you do not understand something, please ask Dr. Dallman for
clarification!

Additional policy resources are available as Pages in our Canvas course website.

 Course Schedule
Any adjustments to the schedule will be made at Dr. Dallman’s discretion and will be announced
ahead of time both in class and by Canvas announcements. Please make sure you know what
happens in every class! You are responsible for knowing about any changes to the schedule
whether or not you are in each class meeting.

Anthologies are essential for answering questions and benefiting from discussion of the music.
Have your anthology (scores) with you for every class meeting. Chapters from the History of
Western Music (HWM) will be assigned at the beginning of each week that correspond with topics
for the week. Students can break up reading chapter sections at their convenience, but will be
expected to read the whole chapter by the end of each week

Assignments are listed in bold on the schedule. Content Quizzes are due each Monday night, Score
Study Sheets are due each Wednesday night, and project assignments (Museum Project, Program
Notes) are due Friday nights. When we have an in-class listening quiz, it will happen at the top of
the hour and will conclude by the first 20 minutes of class.

Assignments are to be submitted through Canvas by 11:59 PM on the dates published to Canvas.
Please make sure your assignment uploads! If you cannot make a submission through Canvas
due to a technical difficulty, email your assignment directly to Dr. Dallman.
