Specific Objectives and Elements of the Course:
A. Lectures and Attendance. The student is expected to attend all lectures. This is a slide/lecture course; key information and concepts will be explained in the lectures. No absences are recommended. No more than one absence
(excused or unexcused) is acceptable. Two absences will cause your grade to drop by one letter grade. Three
absences will constitute failure of this course and you will be dropped from the program. Three tardy arrivals or
early departures will constitute one missed class. I will only excuse an absence with a medical excuse which is
written by the attending physician and must be presented to me within two days of return to class.
B. Preparation. The student is expected to keep up with the reading assignments. Lecture notes should be
reviewed thoroughly within a day following each lecture.
C. Class Participation. There will be opportunities to discuss the works seen in class and to ask questions. You are
encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities, not only to enliven the class, but also to acquire practice in
the discussion of art works--a skill that will be extremely valuable for taking art history research papers. MUSEUM TRIPS ARE CLASS TIME— YOU MUST PAY ATTENTION AND TAKE NOTES.
D. EXAMS. There will be Two Power Point Presentations and Four Research papers. Those dates are listed within the
syllabus.
Course Requirements:
2 POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS: 50% of final grade
4 RESEARCH PAPERS:
