Content of Exams:
Each examination will consist of the following three sections:

1) Listening Identification--Selected excerpts from your assigned listening
      will be played. For full credit you should provide composer, title of
      work, and section (movement, act, etc.) where appropriate. Partial credit
      will be provided for intelligent wrong guesses. 2) Term Identification--Selected terms, names of individuals, etc., for a brief
      identification. 3) Essay--A choice of 1 out of 3 questions, to be answered in a short essay
      of two to three exam book pages.             The final examination will not be comprehensive but rather will cover material only
            since the second midterm. The three examinations will be weighted approximately
            equally, although progress on the part of the student will be considered in deter-
            mining the final grade.

Accommodations for Academic Disabilities
            Students with disabilities who qualify for academic accomodations must provide a
            letter from Disability Services (DS) and discuss specific needs with the instructor,
            preferably during the first two weeks of class. DS determines accomodations
            based on documjented disabilities (303/492-8671, Willard 322; for further informa-
            tion see www.colorado.edu/sacs/disability services).

Accomodations for Religious Observations
            Students who, because of religious obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams
            should notify the instructor of the conflict at least two weeks in advance of the con-
            flict so that special accomodations can be made. (For further information see
            http://www.colorado.edu/policies/index.html.)

Classroom Behavior and Honor Code System
            The new classroom behavior and honor code policies are in effect. (For further in-
            formation see, http://www.colorado.edu/policies/index.html [for classroom behavior]
            and http://www.colorado.edu/academics/honorcode/ [for honor code].)
