Wed Sept 17.

See handout on "The Three Domains of Knowledge" for today's activities.   

Friday, Sept. 19.   

An elaboration on the information posted on the syllabus.

Bring two copies of your review draft: one that others can write on, one that I can take with me.

One page = 5 points, up to 20 points.

Font size = 12.

Font = times, times new roman.

Margins = 1"  

Double space is fine, not quadruple space between paragraphs.

The final page = at least half a page in order to get the points.

You can include images if you want to, but I will take that into consideration for page length.

Monday, Sept. 22

Review #2 is due. 

Make sure you bring the notes for "Writing About Music" to class.
