We know that this pandemic is a fluid situation and that new information and measures may affect our circumstances at any time as we continue our work. Communication will be of utmost importance as we move forward. Be sure to read emails and respond to let me know you received them (a simple \u201cgot it\u201d might suffice at times), and to check Blackboard frequently for updates on assignments. Please do not ever hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns. Participating in a dance class online will likely be a new experience for most of us and will require a learning curve for both you the students and for me as the facilitator of this new format. I ask that we all remain open minded, patient, and flexible. We will simplify as much as possible while at the same time taking the opportunity to explore new realms together. Again, please be patient as there will likely be revisions to the syllabus and assignments as we move through the semester. Let\u2019s remain positive, curious, and above all calm. We can do this!<\/span><\/p>\n REMOTE LEARNING SYLLABUS<\/b><\/p>\n Some things will remain more or less the same as our original syllabus<\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n Some things will be new<\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n You will soon receive an email invitation for our Zoom meetings on Tuesdays and Thursdays with a link for you to connect. I will also post that invitation on BB for you to be able to access it at any time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Some things will be cancelled<\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n ENDURING QUESTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n We will continue to think about the enduring questions you have brought up during the first half of the semester and new ones that will undoubtedly arise as we experience dancing in a totally new way.<\/span><\/p>\n ADDITIONAL ENDURING QUESTIONS GENERATED BY STUDENTS:<\/span><\/p>\n COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND GRADING AT A GLANCE<\/b><\/p>\n Grading will be based on a 100-point system:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 20\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> Independent Movement Research<\/span><\/p>\n 10\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> Attendance and Response to Events<\/span><\/p>\n 5\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> Midterm Mini Class<\/span><\/p>\n 15\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> Final Project<\/span><\/p>\n 50<\/span> Class participation: disposition and effort. Students are expected to be open to learn \u00a0 new and unfamiliar material, participate both physically and verbally in class discussions, and complete all assignments on time. During the remote learning period, students are expected to stay active in their learning process, communicate if they experience difficulties with synchronous online connectivity or other circumstances and work with the professor to find alternative ways to participate. Fulfillment of assignments related to weekly readings and videos will come out of the total points of class participation.<\/span><\/p>\n PARTICIPATION, EXPECTATIONS, AND AGREEMENTS<\/b><\/p>\n As we transition to remote teaching and learning, I ask that you continue to contribute to create and participate in an inclusive, compassionate and respectful environment that supports exploration, promotes learning, and supports the work of each member of the class as we navigate these unusual circumstances.. You are expected to remain active in your learning process, to participate in discussions (synchronous or online) regarding readings\/assignments, to listen carefully to others, and to offer thoughtful and informed contributions. Please let me know if you are experiencing specific challenges that are hindering your participation and we will work together to find new alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n ADDITIONAL POLICIES<\/b><\/p>\n Academic Honesty:\u00a0<\/b>Students are expected to uphold the Honor Code (htpp:\/\/studentorg.richmond.edu\/urhc\/).\u00a0 The honor pledge, written in full and signed, is required on all work submitted in this class.\u00a0 Students cannot submit the same work to different instructors if registered for more than one dance class per semester.<\/span><\/p>\n Learning Differences:\u00a0<\/b>Students with learning, physical, or psychiatric disabilities enrolled in this course that may need disability-related classroom accommodations are encouraged to make an appointment to see me as well as consult with Tinina Cade, Associate Vice president for Student Development.<\/span><\/p>\n If you experience difficulties in this course, do not hesitate to consult with me.
