The progression of abstraction, problems of form and content and the backgrounds and theories of artist will be discussed . LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of this course students will have learned certain basic principles involved in understanding and analyzing works of art. The student will have developed a framework for evaluating the relevance in a work of art to its larger cultural, social, religious and historic content.

If you find that you are having difficulty please see me as soon as possible. In order to determine how you are doing as the course progresses an exam preview will be given. This will help to illustrate the format of the exams.

ORAL PRESENTATION You are required to give an oral presentation. Please see the handout for further details. Remember that five points will be deducted from your final grade point average if you fail to meet this requirement. .

REGARDING LATE ARRIVAL Please be aware the class begins on time. Students who walk in late disrupt both the instructor and the students who are already seated. Once I begin my lecture, the class begins. If you walk in after that you are late. If you make it a habit I will ask you to be prompt or to leave. LEAVING THE CLASSROOM EARLY Please be aware that the class is held during the appropriate time slot and will end when I dismiss class. If you need to leave early please let me know before class begins. CELL PHONES AND BEEPERS If it makes a noise, turn it off. Please put your cell phones completely away during class. Please refrain sending and receiving text messages. Please be aware that I will not tolerate phone play and I will ask you to leave if you do not comply. EMAIL My email address is jsr12@psu.edu. Each student at Abington College should set up an email account through the college. Learn to access and use the account assigned to you through the university. I will only respond to your Penn State email, not gmail, hot mail, aol or any other email address. Finally, I can not email your grades. ACADEMIC RESPONSIBILITES OF A COLLEGE STUDENT Behave in a mature considerate manner. Come to class on time. Do not sleep, read a newspaper, magazine, do other schoolwork, listen to head phones, check cell phones or behave in any disruptive way during class time. Please do not schedule an appointment during class time. Your obligation as a student is to attend class. Attend class. Assume responsibility for your absences. Talk to the teacher about missed work.

MAKEUP EXAM POLICY If you cannot take an art history test with the rest of the class, you must see me without exception. I cannot give you a make-up test without good cause. If good cause is shown such as illness, family emergency or religious holidays you may take a blue book exam, not a scantron exam. I will discuss the test format with you when you come to see me. Please be aware that I will give you a make-up for very compelling reasons.

YOU MUST COME TO SEE ME ABOUT THIS. YOU WILL INDICATE IN WRITTEN FORM THE YOU ARE AWARE THAT THE EXAM IS IN A BLUEBOOK FORMAT. SCANTON TEST TAKING You are responsible for all erasures on your scrantron forms. If the scrantron machine marks an answer wrong, the reason is: A. It is wrong. B. You did not erase completely. C. Your mark is too weak to be read by the machine or too dark to be read by the machine. D. You used a pen or the wrong type of pencil. Ultimately you are responsible for your erasures. Sometimes I can catch them, but this is not always the case. Realize that I am marking upwards of 300 exams and I can not possibly check every dot. Once I hand the exam back to you, I can not change what the machine has marked wrong. If you erase you have the option of re-copying your answers on a new scrantron. If there is an arithmetic error, I will most certainly change your grade. TEST INFORMATION For Art History 100,111, 112, 325, three tests will be given. For slide identification you will need to know the following: A. B. C. D. E. The name of the piece. Artist or architect (if any) Time period Country or civilization Importance of the piece.

The number of the slides will vary for each course and each test. In addition to the above, you will have definitions, terms and true or false questions. The format is scrantron. Please note that the final test is not comprehensive. CLASSROOM POLICY AND GRADING POLICY Attendance It is the policy of the university that class attendance by students should be encouraged. A student should attend every class for which the student is scheduled and should be held responsible for all work covered in all courses. Students are required to attend all classes. If you miss class you will miss seeing the slides with the rest of the class. Although I will help you to make up the missed work,

seeing the work and hearing the lecture is the best way to learn. You will be better prepared for the exams which will include detailed information about works of art. Attendance is part of your grade only when presentations are given. Oral Presentations Attendance at all presentations is mandatory. This includes your own presentation as well as your classmates. For each missed day of the presentations, one point will be deducted from your numerical average, which is the average of all three tests. If you are in class but do not present when called, points will not be deducted for attendance. However, five points will be deducted from your numerical average because you did not fulfill the oral presentation requirement. Grading You will have three tests. Your final grade will be an average of all three tests. Some classes require an oral presentation. Five points will be deducted from your final grade if you do not fulfill this requirement. Attendance at the presentations is mandatory and one point will be deducted for each missed class. GRADING POLICY FOR ART HISTORY GRADE A AB+ B BC+ C D.
