INTELLECTUAL COMPETENCIES
MUSI 1306 reinforces all six of the Core Curriculum Intellectual Competencies defined by the
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
READING: Reading at the college level means the ability to analyze and interpret a variety of
printed materials--books, articles and documents. A core curriculum should offer students the
opportunity to master both general methods of analyzing printed materials and specific methods
for analyzing the subject matter of individual disciplines.
WRITING: Competency in writing is the ability to produce clear, correct and coherent prose
adapted to purpose, occasion, and audience. Although correct grammar, spelling and punctuation
are each a sine qua non in any composition, they do not automatically ensure that the
composition itself makes sense or that the writer has much of anything to say. Students need to
be familiar with the writing process including how to discover a topic and how to develop and
organize it, how to phrase it effectively for their audience. These abilities can be acquired only
through practice and reflection.
SPEAKING: Competence in speaking is the ability to communicate orally in clear, coherent and
persuasive language appropriate to purpose, occasion and audience. Developing this competency
includes acquiring poise and developing control of the language through experience in making
presentations to small groups, to large groups and through the media.
LISTENING: Listening at the college level means the ability to analyze and interpret various
forms of spoken communication.
CRITICAL THINKING: Critical thinking embraces methods of applying both qualitative and
quantitative skills analytically and creatively to subject matter in order to evaluate arguments and
to construct alternative strategies. Problem solving is one of the applications of critical thinking,
used to address an identified task.
COMPUTER LITERACY:
Computer Literacy at the college level means the ability to use computer-based technology in
communicating, solving problems and acquiring information. Core-educated students should
have an understanding of the limits, problems and possibilities associated with the use of
technology and should have the tools necessary to evaluate and learn new technologies as they
become available. Upon completion of the course students will have a greater understanding of
all seven Exemplary Educational Objectives (EEO's) and will have utilized all six Intellectual
Competencies (IC's) as active class participants in this online class
ADDITIONAL COURSE MATERIALS LOCATION:
Detailed instructions for each course assignment including grading rubrics for each
assignment. are found under the ASSIGNMENTS tab on the course home page.
Students will access the course eCAMPUS page via the internet and complete extensive assigned
materials for all assignments and for communication with the instructor, and fellow class
members. ((IC #6).
The contribution of African-Americans in the development of an identifiable "American-sound"
in music and the importance of that music as the basis of jazz, symphonic, and popular idioms
will be stressed in assigned listening to musical examples, chapter reading assignments, and
additional audio/visual materials posted by the instructor. (EEO's #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). (IC #1, 3,
4).
After viewing and discussing the film "Amadeus," students write an essay analyzing the central
conflict in the movie. For a passing grade, the student must include at least five direct quotes and
descriptions of situations that support their decision that the conflict is either: Man versus man,
Man versus nature, Man versus self, or any combination of the three. (EEO's # 1,2,4,6,7), (IC,s
# 2,4,5).
The course includes additional audio demonstrations of the families of orchestral and jazz
instruments including pictures of prominent musical artists. (EEO's # 1,6).

REQUIREMENTS OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act

DROP POLICY
If you are unable to complete this course, you must officially withdraw by:
Saturday, November 16
Withdrawing is a formal procedure which you must initiate; your instructor cannot do it for you.
All Dallas County Community Colleges charge a higher tuition rate to students registering the
third time for a course. This rule applies to the majority of credit and Continuing Education /
Workforce Training courses. Developmental Studies and some other courses are not charged a
higher tuition rate. Third attempts include courses taken at any DCCCD college since the fall
2002 semester. For further information, go online to: http://www.DCCCD.edu/thirdcourseattempt
.
STOP BEFORE YOU DROP
For students who enrolled in college level courses for the first time in the fall of 2007, Texas
Education Code 51.907 limits the number of courses a student may drop. You may drop no more
than 6 courses during your entire undergraduate career unless the drop qualifies as an exception.
Your campus counseling/advising center will give you more information on the allowable
exceptions. Remember that once you have accumulated 6 non-exempt drops, you cannot drop
any other courses with a W. Therefore, please exercise caution when dropping courses in any
Texas public institution of higher learning, including all seven of the Dallas County Community
Colleges. For more information, you may access: https://www1.dcccd.edu/coursedrops
