GETTING STARTED

Welcome to the Florida State University Musicology Program! Before the first day of classes, there are several important things to do in order to register and complete necessary paperwork. These tasks are time consuming and so we recommend that you arrive in Tallahassee at least one week prior to the start of the semester. There are also a number of Musicology Area orientation activities that occur during the week, some of which are required. Plan to be in town a week early and you’ll be able to take care of everything and settle in. ACTIVATE YOUR FSUID AND EMAIL ACCOUNT First things first, you will need to go online and activate your FSUID. This is the magical ID that will allow you to set up your email account, access the University network, register for classes, and pay online fees. Visit the Florida State University Dean of Students FSUID Activation information page (http://dos.fsu.edu/newnole/pre-orientation/activate-fsuid-email-access-myfsu) for step-by-step directions. HEALTH INFORMATION FORMS

FSU requires all incoming students to complete a Health History form, Student Immunization Record form (this must be filled out by a clinician or records custodian), and a Patient Disclosure Authorization form. These forms must all be completed, sent to University Health Services, and put on record before you can register for classes. Do this as early as possible in the summer months before you arrive as it can be difficult to obtain an appointment with the University Health Center right before classes begin. For more information visit the University Health Services website at http://healthcenter.fsu.edu.

HEALTH INSURANCE

All full-time students are required to have health insurance. You must either enroll in the University-sponsored plan or provide proof of comparable health insurance coverage by completing the “Waive/Purchase Insurance” form through the University Health Service’s Student Insurance Management Information System (SIMIS) website at http://studentinsurance.fsu.edu. YOU MUST COMPLETE THIS PROCESS IN ORDER TO REGISTER FOR CLASSES. If you already have insurance coverage and wish to waive the University-sponsored insurance, be sure to check with your insurance company to see if your plan provides comparable coverage to that of the University. If you choose to enroll in the University-sponsored plan, charges will automatically be assessed to your student account.

*Allow 10 business days for your health and proof of insurance forms to be processed! You may check the status of these forms at the Online Status Check website, https://admissions.fsu.edu/StatusCheck/.

8

FSUCARD All students must have an FSUCard. This is your key to gaining access to the campus libraries, printing services, and the public transportation system. To obtain your FSUCard visit the FSUCard Center located next to the bookstore at 104N Woodward Avenue (this is within walking distance of the College of Music). For more information visit the FSUCard Services website at http://www.fsucard.fsu.edu. RESIDENCY If you are a Florida resident you must submit an online Florida Residency Form to the Office of Admissions (see https://admissions.fsu.edu/residency/Residency.cfm) before the first day of classes. If you are an out-of-state graduate student, you can apply for Florida residency by visiting the Clerk of the Circuit Court at the Leon County Court House. This is located at the Bank of America Annex, 313 S. Calhoun Street, Suite 101, Tallahassee, FL 32301. This office is open Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. In order to declare domicile you will need a copy of your lease agreement (or proof of your living arrangement) and $15. This is usually a speedy and painless process, but it must be completed PRIOR TO THE FIRST DAY OF CLASSES! It is important that you declare domicile before the first day of classes because at the beginning of your second year you will be required to provide proof of having lived in Florida for 12 consecutive months (with a driver’s license, lease, utility bills, bank statements, voter’s registration card etc.) in order to qualify for in-state tuition. WHY BECOME A FLORIDA RESIDENT? If you have an assistantship and are an out-of-state resident the University will waive your out-of-state tuition fee (though you are still required to pay curriculum and general fees) for the first year. However, after the first year the University will only cover the in-state tuition amount and you will be responsible for the remaining sum. Thus, it is beneficial to become a resident of Florida to avoid paying out-of-state tuition in your second year. VOTER’S REGISTRATION CARD In order to register to vote within the state of Florida, first obtain your declaration of domicile form and then visit the Leon County Supervisor of Elections Office. This is located right next to the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the Bank of America Annex (where you go to declare domicile). You simply fill out the Florida Voter Registration Application and will receive your voter registration card in the mail within a few business days. For more information visit the Florida Division of Elections website at http://election.dos.state.fl.us/voter-registration/voter-reg.shtml. FLORIDA DRIVER’S LICENSE In order to obtain a Florida driver’s license (which will be necessary to become a resident of Florida and to qualify for in-state tuition in your second year) you must provide proof of identity, social security number, legal residence (2 documents, place and date of birth). You can obtain a driver’s license from any Leon County Tax Collector Office.

*Make sure that you have all of the necessary documentation ahead of time- lines can be rather long and nothing is worse than waiting in line for an hour only to discover that you do not have the required number of documents.

SOCIETY FOR MUSICOLOGY

The Society for Musicology (SfM) is a student organization that promotes academic excellence among musicology students by offering opportunities for professional development, creating a positive learning environment for all scholars, and building an academic community based upon collegiality and collaboration. Throughout the year, the officers of SfM organize colloquia, workshops, and presentations by visiting and guest scholars within the discipline. In addition to these academic activities, SfM also hosts periodic social gatherings to give students the opportunity to develop friendships outside of the classroom. Your attendance at these activities is assumed. Meetings will take place every Thursday in HMU 125 from 4:00-5:00 PM (unless otherwise noted).

SOCIETY EVENTS LECTURES

Each year, the Society for Musicology invites a number of esteemed guests in the field of historical and ethnomusicology to present a lecture on his or her major research area. The scholar also presents additional colloquia, meets one-on-one with students, and attends an informal student luncheon.

COLLOQUIA/WORKSHOPS Each year the Society for Musicology members offer specific workshops they feel will enhance their academic training. In the past such workshops have included résumé preparation, teaching and grading workshops, mock paper presentations, and student research presentations.

MENTORING PROGRAM

We recognize that incoming students are often unaware of many aspects of graduate life as well as musicological study. The purpose of the mentoring program is to welcome new musicologists into the program and to share important information about student life, courses of study, and available resources. In order to orient and provide support for incoming students, each new musicologist will be paired with an experienced student mentor, a willing volunteer who can explain various aspects of life and work at the graduate level. The duties of the mentors are as follows: 1. Acclimate mentee to FSU and the College of Music making him or her aware of the buildings, classroom locations, school policies, etc. 2. Share information regarding the activities of the Society for Musicology (SfM) 3. Encourage the new student to attend all SfM activities, including lectures, colloquia, meetings, and presentations 4. Introduce mentee to other musicologists in the College of Music 5. For new student teachers, share pertinent information about classrooms and resources (audio/video equipment, keys, combinations, etc.) 6. Assist mentee in any other way necessary The Society of Musicology officers will select experienced students to be mentors for incoming students, though volunteers are also welcome! Mentors will be informed at the beginning of the school year about their responsibilities and the new students they will be mentoring. This is an indispensable program in our area.

INFORMATION FOR TEACHING ASSISTANTS

Congratulations on being selected to teach one of the undergraduate music courses at Florida State University! What follows are some helpful hints about beginning this phase of your graduate career. For additional information, please consult the College of Music’s Teaching Assistant Manual: http://www.music.fsu.edu/sites/g/files/imported/storage/original/application/01757f8a361fbf84b2e0b957fd0afdd6.pdf GETTING STARTED: SIGN YOUR PAPERWORK!! The very first thing you should do as a graduate assistant at Florida State University is to sign your appointment papers in the Music Fiscal Office, located on the second floor of the Kellogg building. Signing your assistantship offer contract does not automatically make you an employee of Florida State University. You must be appointed for work for FSU before you will receive your stipend. To do this, you must fill out a New Employee Forms Wizard if you have not worked for FSU in the past 12 calendar months. You MUST provide a valid, signed social security card. This card is required of every FSU employee and no exceptions can be made nor other forms of identification used in its place. International students must provide the following documents before you can be appointed to work: social security card, I-20 student copy, valid passport and visa, and IAP-66 or its equivalent. All questions concerning the New Employee Forms Wizard must be directed to the College of Music Fiscal Office: (850) 644-0415. If you do not sign your papers immediately, you will not receive a paycheck until much later in the semester. You must complete all paperwork in order to receive a paycheck. ATTENDING TEACHING ASSISTANT ORIENTATION As a first year graduate assistant at FSU, you must attend either the PIE Teaching Assistant Orientation or the College of Music Teaching Assistant Orientation. The latter is recommended for incoming master’s students, while the former is more helpful for first year doctoral students. You MUST attend one of these in order to obtain important information on FSU’s teaching policies. CHOOSING TEXTBOOKS Once you know your class number, section, and name (e.g., MUL 2110-01 Survey of Music Literature), you can begin planning the books and other materials that students will use for your class. Below is a list of music courses taught by graduate students along with some suggestions for textbooks. However, teaching assistants should consult appropriate teaching supervisors to ascertain whether the materials listed below are being used for the current semester. To comply with recent federal and state laws, we are required to report textbook selection at the time when students register for the next semester. Most publishing companies will send you desk copies of everything you need to make your decisions. Graduate teaching assistants should contact our textbook representatives for textbook orders. (NB: These change with some frequency. Contact Dr. Douglass Seaton or Dr. Michael Bakan for assistance if necessary.)

WEB-ASSISTED COURSES -- CANVAS All teaching assistants have at their disposal the same computer-based tools available to all FSU faculty. These include a course website based on the Canvas design, which is provided for you as soon as you are entered as an instructor in the University system. The College of Music continues to move towards a paper-minimal environment. Canvas can be used to post announcements distribute your syllabus and other course documents provide handouts conduct out-of-class discussions receive written work (which can be checked automatically for plagiarism) e-mail students individually or in groups check your class roster maintain student records post grades in a secure environment. It is possible to deliver quizzes and tests via Canvas, but security is a serious problem, and it is recommended that significant components of students’ grades be earned only within a supervised setting. The College of Music will make paper copies of quizzes and tests. Please deliver your originals and filled-out request forms to Jennie Carpenter in 204 HMU at least 24 hours before you need to pick up your copies. Class Roster -Go to my.fsu.edu, and log in. -Click on Student Central. -Click Main Menu, Self Service, Faculty Center, and click on My Schedule. -Check to make sure that you are looking at the current semester’s roster list, and if not, click the change term button next to where it says “Florida State University” in the middle of the screen. -Click on the people icon to the left of each course (next to the red book icon), and your roster should appear. -Don’t forget to click the View All link to see all of your courses.

27

CREATING A SYLLABUS Planning a class and creating a syllabus go hand in hand. You need not feel as if you have to create either from scratch. The musicology faculty can provide guidance and/or copies of syllabi to help you. If you decide to create your own, it must be reviewed and approved by your faculty mentor and the area coordinator. Keep in mind the following necessary components: -Course prefix, number, title, and name -Instructor Information – name, contact information, office hours -Course Description -Course Materials -Course Objectives -Evaluation Procedures -Grading Scale -Topical Outline -Class Schedule -University Attendance Policy Statement -Academic Honor Policy Statement -ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Statement -Free Tutoring from FSU Statement -Syllabus Change Statement -Liberal Studies for the 21st Century Statements Note: Teaching assistants currently teaching courses must provide a copy of her or his syllabus to the area coordinator at the beginning of the semester in which the courses are being taught. This should be sent as an e-mail attachment. GORDON RULE/LIBERAL STUDIES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY Prior to Fall 2015, many of the classes taught by musicology graduate students were “Gordon Rule” courses. These classes incorporated a writing component that fulfilled State of Florida requirements for undergraduate students. Some students have been grandfathered into this Gordon Rule requirement. However, all students entering in Fall 2015 and subsequent semesters will be working under the new Liberal Studies for the 21st Century requirements. Due to these changes, as of Fall 2015, the musicology area is currently in a transitional period regarding undergraduate course design and requirements. Details regarding the Liberal Studies for the 21st Century requirements will be explained at the area-wide orientation meeting. All teaching assistants will need to check with their teaching supervisors regarding the latest requirements.

28

OFFICE HOURS You must include office hours on your syllabus. It can be helpful to have these at more than one time of day, so students have a better chance of being able to meet with you (don’t offer T/R 10:00-11:00, for instance). You should also include “or by arrangement” next to the given times. PHOTOCOPYING Any materials you need copied for class must be placed in the copy basket in 204 HMU one full day before it is needed. Do not expect the staff to copy something for you at the last minute; plan on going to Kinko’s or Target Copy Center. WORLD MUSIC AND EARLY MUSIC ENSEMBLES Teaching assistants are encouraged to announce the Early Music and World Music ensembles in their classes and to encourage students to participate. Not only does this stimulate enrollment in the ensembles, it also fosters connections between the teachers and the directors that can be advantageous when teaching the music of that period or area. OBTAINING ACCESS In order to access the Musicology Teaching Assistant office, PhD students only will need to obtain a key. You might also need keys for other rooms, depending on special circumstances, although the classrooms in which you teach should be open at regular class time. You may obtain key forms from Ms. Tiawana Meeks (202D HMU), and these will require an approval signature from Dr. Von Glahn. CLASSROOMS/OFFICES Musicology Teaching Assistant Office

This room is located in Kellogg 426 and provides the graduate assistants with a place to prepare lessons and meet with students during weekly office hours. Keys to this office may be obtained by filing a Key Request form with Tiawana Meeks in HMU 202D.

217 HMU: World Music Room This room serves as instrument storage and rehearsal space for a variety of world music ensembles.

223 HMU: Center for Music of the Americas This room serves many purposes: steel band rehearsal room, small ensemble rehearsals, and instrument storage.

229 HMU: Early Music Room This room serves as instrument storage and rehearsal space for a variety of early music ensembles.

HMU 125 and 126 These rooms are usually open during the day. However, if you teach at 8:00 a.m., the Instrument Storage assistant may sometimes be late in opening the room in the morning. If you don’t find anyone in Instrument Storage (HMU 112), see Dean Fredrickson in HMU 202C or Tiawana Meeks in HMU 202D.

29

Lindsay Recital Hall, Dohnányi Recital Hall The media cabinets have combination locks. To obtain the combination, check with Instrument Storage (112 HMU). Be sure that the cabinet is locked before you leave the room.

201 LON This classroom is controlled by the College of Arts and Sciences, not by the College of Music. Its technical equipment is under the supervision of ACNS. It is extremely important to treat this space with great care, partly because we depend on the generosity of Arts and Sciences to continue to allow us to use it and partly because it also serves as a recital hall.

POSTING GRADES The Family Educational and Privacy Rights Act and federal regulations are interpreted to require the student's consent to release non-directory information. It is highly recommended that student grades be posted on Canvas exclusively, so that each student can access her or his own grades securely. READING/WRITING CENTER The Reading/Writing Center (RWC), located in 222C Williams Building, with a satellite location at Strozier Library, is devoted to individualized instruction in reading and writing. A service of the English Department, the Center serves Florida State University students at all levels and from all majors. The Center is open Monday-Thursday 10:00-5:00 and Friday 10:00-2:00. A student can schedule an appointment by calling 644-6495 or visit their website at http://wr.english.fsu.edu/Reading-Writing-Center. ACADEMIC HONOR POLICY / CHEATING / PLAGIARISM Honor Code--FAC 6C2-3.005 The Florida State University maintains a deep commitment to academic integrity. You should familiarize yourself with the details of the Academic Honor Policy (see http://fda.fsu.edu/Academics/Academic-Honor-Policy) and refer to it whenever there appears to be a case of cheating or any other form of academic dishonesty. If you have a case of cheating, plagiarism, or any other form of violation, consult as early as possible with Dean Michael Thrasher (850-644-5848, HMU204B, mthrasher@fsu.edu), who will assist you through the appropriate steps. Students report that the strongest deterrence to academic dishonesty is the instructor’s emphasis on academic integrity. You should stress the Honor Policy in introducing your course and remind students of it with any major test or written assignment. Written assignments should be submitted through your course Canvas site, using SafeAssign, which identifies likely incidents of academic dishonesty.

30

You MUST include the following approved statement in your syllabus: ACADEMIC HONOR POLICY: The Florida State University Academic Honor Policy outlines the University’s expectations for the integrity of students’ academic work, the procedures for resolving alleged violations of those expectations, and the rights and responsibilities of students and faculty members throughout the process. Students are responsible for reading the Academic Honor Policy and for living up to their pledge to “…be honest and truthful and…[to] strive for personal and institutional integrity at Florida State University.” (Florida State University Academic Honor Policy, found at http://fda.fsu.edu/Academics/Academic-Honor-Policy). AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT The University is committed to observing the full spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This means that any student who requires special accommodation should receive it, as fully as possible. The Student Disability Resource Center will evaluate needs and report to you what you can do to assist your student. You MUST including the following approved statement in your syllabus: AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT: Students with disabilities needing academic accommodation should: (1) register with and provide documentation to the Student Disability Resource Center; and (2) bring a letter to the instructor indicating the need for accommodation and what type. This should be done during the first week of class. This syllabus and other class materials are available in alternative format upon request. For more information about services available to FSU students with disabilities, contact the: Student Disability Resource Center 874 Traditions Way 108 Student Services Building Florida State University Tallahassee, FL 32306-4167 (850) 644-9566 (voice) (850) 644-8504 (TDD) sdrc@admin.fsu.edu http://www.disabilitycenter.fsu.edu/ CLASS ATTENDANCE You are expected to check attendance in all classes. Note especially that the University has a requirement that students attend the first meeting of every class. If a student whose name appears on your roster is absent the first day of class, you should report that immediately to the College of Music Registrar, Ms. Melanie Presnell, in 203 HMU. Alternatively, you can report this directly to the University Registrar by means of the Attendance list in the Faculty Course List through Canvas. This enables the registrar to sort out registration errors and often allows a student who is on a waiting list to add an essential class. You may make some allowance for absence occasioned by illness, by trips for the University, or by authorized field trips, although this needs to be clarified in advance. Students are responsible for arranging to make up missed course work. The instructor determines the effect of absences upon grades; at the beginning of the term you must explain the grading policy to the students. The Director of Student Health Services does not issue excuses to students. The student is given a card indicating the time of admission and discharge from the University Hospital. A report will be given to the faculty member on request, indicating hour and date of treatment.

31

You MUST include the following approved statement in your syllabus regarding the University Attendance policy: University Attendance Policy: Excused absences include documented illness, deaths in the family and other documented crises, call to active military duty or jury duty, religious holy days, and official University activities. These absences will be accommodated in a way that does not arbitrarily penalize students who have a valid excuse. Consideration will also be given to students whose dependent children experience serious illness. ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED LANGUAGE FOR SYLLABI:

Free Tutoring from FSU: On-campus tutoring and writing assistance is available for many courses at Florida State University. For more information, visit the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) Tutoring Services' comprehensive list of on-campus tutoring options at http://ace.fsu.edu/tutoring or contacttutor@fsu.edu. High-quality tutoring is available by appointment and on a walk-in basis. These services are offered by tutors trained to encourage the highest level of individual academic success while upholding personal academic integrity.

Syllabus Change Policy: Except for changes that substantially affect implementation of the evaluation (grading) statement, this syllabus is a guide for the course and is subject to change with advance notice. FINAL EXAMINATIONS The University’s final examination policy states:

1. Final examinations in all undergraduate courses are discretionary within any given area. If an area chooses to give a final exam, the exam schedule must be followed as published.

2. All students, including graduating seniors and graduate students, enrolled in an undergraduate course having a final examination are required to take the examination.

3. The scheduling of a final examination at any time other than the regularly scheduled final examination period is prohibited by Faculty Senate policy. The final exam schedule is found in the Registration Guide located at http://registrar.fsu.edu

4. Unless an exam is given during the final examination period, no test, exam, or quiz may be given during the last week of classes.

Courses meeting every day at the same hour and classes meeting for more than one time period will hold examinations according to the time and day of the first scheduled class meeting of the week. For example, a class meeting at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday and at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday will hold its examination at the time scheduled for Tuesday 8:00 a.m. classes. We are required to retain copies of students’ final examinations (or an equivalent culminating assignment) for twelve months after the end of each course. Teaching Assistants are required to confirm whether or not they will be giving an exam at the scheduled location during their designated exam time with Tiawana Meeks. Dr. Von Glahn will send out an email reminding all Teaching Assistants to contact Ms. Meeks with this information.

32

EVALUATION OF TEACHING Every Teaching Assistant is required to administer the University’s evaluation instruments, including either a paper-based version titled SPCI (Student Perception of Courses and Instructors) or an electronic version called eSPCI (electronic Student Perception of Courses and Instructors), during the last two weeks of the semester. Be sure that you plan for this in your syllabus, as it inevitably comes during a time when the class is under pressure to cover all the remaining course material. Read and follow the instructions provided in the SPCI or eSPCI packet. Note that the SPCI is to be administered by a proctor, with the instructor removed from the room, at the beginning of a class session. GRADE ROSTERS AND INCOMPLETES Before permanently leaving the University for whatever reason (job opportunity, dissertation research, etc.), you must turn in your grade roster to the Coordinator, as well as any incomplete forms (with instructions and materials for the removal of the incomplete), so that in case there is a question regarding a student’s grade, the Coordinator has your attendance records and quizzes, papers, and test scores. YOUR FACULTY MENTOR Each Teaching Assistant will be assigned a faculty mentor who will meet with the student several times throughout the semester and observe the student teaching his or her class on two or more occasions. The purpose of this program is to assist the student in preparing the class and to offer feedback on teaching. You may expect your faculty mentor to provide assistance on any aspect of your course and your teaching. The evaluations that you receive from your faculty mentor’s observations are intended to help you improve your teaching skills. In addition, they may later form the core of recommendations that the faculty member writes on your behalf when you apply for teaching positions. PIE (PROGRAM FOR INSTRUCTIONAL EXCELLENCE) Visit the PIE website at http://pie.fsu.edu to find opportunities to learn how to be a better teacher. Workshops are presented during the week before school begins in August. PIE Teaching Training Recognition is presented at the end. Additionally, PIE offers online modules to complete the Advanced PIE Teaching Training Recognition. Participation is strongly recommended for both master’s and PhD students! PFF (PREPARING FUTURE FACULTY) Visit the PFF website at http://gradschool.fsu.edu/Professional-Development/Preparing-Future-Faculty-PFF. Through participation in coursework, workshops/seminars, and/or online training, and mentoring, PFF Fellows who meet specified requirements, often involving participation over a two-year period, are awarded a PFF Graduate Certificate, but individuals may participate in PFF events without the intent of earning a PFF Certificate. This is a wonderful opportunity for doctoral students!

33

COURSE LOAD FOR GRADUATE TEACHING ASSISTANTS As a teaching assistant you should not register for more than twelve (12) credit hours of classes and seminars per semester. Along with classes and seminars, your course load may include ensembles, DIS (Directed Individual Study), Supervised Teaching, and Supervised Research, depending on the nature of the work involved. NOTES FOR TEACHING ASSISTANTS AND READERS Teaching Assistants: 1. If you did not receive the message regarding the University policies for all classes

from Lauren Smith, please request it. Be sure to follow those requirements to the letter. (Review them regularly).

2. You will have a faculty supervisor who should serve as a mentor and will evaluate your work for your permanent record. Plan to consult your mentor about everything from your syllabus to the assignment of final grades. Arrange with your mentor for at least two in-class observations each semester. You should receive his or her comments on your teaching in writing.

3. Please send an electronic copy of the syllabus for each of your classes to Dr. Von Glahn for the College of Music files by the end of Week 1 of the semester.

4. Be fully prepared and on time for every class session. Set-up should take place before the time when the class begins.

5. University students are entitled by law to 150 minutes of instruction time each week for a three-credit course. It is not appropriate to dismiss them early or to cancel classes on the days before holidays, etc. If you must miss a class meeting, you should provide an appropriate substitute: the Reader assigned to your class, another Teaching Assistant, or a faculty member. Other options include arranging for a Warren D. Allen Music Library session, supervised film showing, or Strozier Library Workshop.

6. If you have any difficulty with classroom technology, call for assistance (644-5786) and cm-helpdesk@fsu.edu for HMU; 644-2811 and classroomsupport@fsu.edu for 201 LON). Get to know the College of Music tech wizards, Michael Strickland and Cliff Taylor, and be very nice to them. Acquaint yourself with your classroom’s technology prior to meeting your class for the first time.

7. If you are teaching a large course, you may have a Reader assigned to work with you. Treat the Reader as a teammate and do not abuse her or his time, energy, or goodwill.

a. Depending upon their assignment, a Reader can work no more than ten hours per week. Remember that the ten hours is usually divided between two different class sections; it is not ten hours per section. If you do not need the Reader to be present through an entire class session, it is appropriate to let her or him go do something productive.

34

b. Provide very clear instructions to your Reader about tracking attendance and grading, even more than the perfectly clear information that you give to students.

8. The Society for Musicology has a Canvas site that can be found under the “Organizations” tab. This site has a wealth of resources for Teaching Assistants including samples of syllabi and lesson plans from various undergraduate courses previously taught by musicologists.

Readers: 1. Readers and Teaching Assistants should work together with the assigned mentor.

2. As a Reader, expect to work very closely with the course instructor. To help make

the course successful for all parties involved, you should communicate regularly with the course instructor and, as appropriate, with students enrolled in the course.

3. You should plan to attend the class, even as a Reader. If you are not needed for a

particular class meeting, the instructor will inform you.

4. Your own classes take priority. Your course instructors make every effort to prevent conflicts between your assistantship duties and your course schedule. If there is a serious conflict, please do not hesitate to report this to your instructor.

5. You may occasionally be given the opportunity to teach the class if the regular

teacher is ill or must be away for professional reasons.

6. You are both invited and encouraged to contribute ideas toward the course’s structure, class management, and various materials/assignments. This gives you the opportunity to develop your own ideas as a possible future instructor. However, bear in mind that the instructor makes final decisions regarding the course. Therefore, if the instructor chooses not to implement your suggestions, please do not feel personally affronted by the instructor’s decision.

7. Remember, the classroom is a learning environment for readers and instructors alike.

In each class session that you attend, pay close attention to the instructor’s lesson, as you may be able to develop ideas for your own future teaching.

8. It is imperative that you do not let grading tasks pile up. Take care of them as they

come, especially for large classes. Failing to do so will result in difficulties with balancing your own class work and grading. Stick to the schedule that is agreed upon at the beginning of the semester.

9. If you need help with Canvas and entering grades, you should consult the Canvas

tutorial, ask for assistance from the instructor, or consult a faculty mentor.

35

10. To complete grading tasks on time, you should consult the instructor regarding grading guidelines.

11. Develop a grading strategy to help you work in the most efficient manner. For

example, with a class of two hundred students, you may NOT need to read every single word of their assignments. Additionally, while it is important to address students’ grammatical and writing issues when you are grading, you should not let that take up all of your allotted time for grading. If you find that a student has especially poor writing and grammatical skills, you should discuss the issue with the instructor and possibly direct the student to the Writing Center.

12. In addition to grading assignments, you may also be expected to participate in

logistical aspects of the class. This includes emailing and conversing with students about attendance issues, grade issues, etc. Find out what is expected of you from the instructor.

13. If you have to miss a class or are going out of town, inform the course instructor of

the conflict well in advance.

14. Acquire copies of the course syllabus and calendar ahead of time, and note important class dates in your schedule. This will help you anticipate conflicts or heavy workloads.

TA Office:

1. Please be considerate when using the office, as you are sharing it with not only musicologists, but also music theorists.

2. Overlap in office hours is inevitable, so it is essential to work with one another to avoid especially conflicting situations.

a. If you are giving a make-up exam or need privacy to meet with students, make sure to notify the other TAs as early as possible. b. If you have a problem with a student that calls for a private conversation, you may let your fellow TAs know, and they should accommodate this as much as possible.

3. Please be considerate in how you use the TA office.

a. Do not leave your personal belongings on the desks and table (this includes books, textbooks, and other materials). The desks and table are all “common” space. You can keep personal items in the office, but you must put them away. b. Remember that you are sharing this space. While you are welcome to socialize with your colleagues in the office, you should not disrupt other colleagues who may be trying to work. Talk quietly and listen to your music with headphones. c. You may eat and talk to your colleagues in the office, but it is intended to be a working space (like other faculty offices). Be as considerate and tidy as possible.

When to Involve Faculty or the Area Coordinator

"Students are expected to participate in class activities without causing disruption or infringing on the rights of others. They are also expected to comply with the reasonable order of any University official, including an instructor. Behavior that does not meet these standards can subject the student to charges under the Student Conduct Code (http://dos.fsu.edu/srr/conduct-codes/studentconduct-code). Instructors may ask students to leave class when their behavior is disrupting the learning process.” (PIE TA Handbook 28). For graduate teaching assistants in the Musicology area, instructors should inform their mentor and the coordinator immediately of any serious class- or student-related issues that cause them concern. The mentor and coordinator can advise the teaching assistant how best to proceed and whether the situation requires the involvement of other university officials including the University Dean of Students. In cases of imminent danger, all classroom instructors (graduate teaching assistants included) should call the FSU Police Department directly. (911, 850-6441234 or http://police.fsu.edu/) “The FSU Police Department will respond directly to classroom situations at any time and should be called if an instructor believes that a class disruption might pose a risk to his or her safety or to the safety of students. The Student Situation Resolution Team coordinates communication and problem solving efforts in situations involving distressed and distressing students whose behavior is causing concern to the University community. It may be accessed by contacting the Office of Faculty Development and Advancement (http://fda.fsu.edu)." (PIE TA Handbook 29).

Thoughts on Evaluating (Grading) Student Work Over the long haul only a small part of any educator’s job involves information delivery: a larger part requires a teacher to model curiosity, creativity, learning, and productive ways of communicating. How do we listen generously and think critically? How do we evaluate ideas and develop ourselves? How do we encourage students to do the same? Of all the activities associated with teaching, evaluating (grading) student work is among the most demanding and resonant despite the reality that the grade a student earns may or may not reflect what she or he has learned. Because grades appear to measure a student’s mastery of materials and in the case of final grades follow a student for life on a transcript, they can carry enormous weight and importance. Grades and written comments can wield significant power over a student’s sense of achievement and in some cases their self worth. It is because some students interpret a grade or a written comment as an evaluation of their personal being, the entire endeavor must be undertaken with great care, seriousness, and humility. This is no place for glib or sarcastic remarks or for slipshod work. Grading is an opportunity to teach one-on-one; it is an intimate interaction with a student.

37

Whether your job includes both teaching and grading student work, or grading for someone else who has the major responsibility for classroom interactions, students depend upon your conscientious, thoughtful assessments. You play a major role in their education. Knowing how to evaluate a response so that a student feels respected, heard, and understood requires as many human insights as it does banks of information. Prepare for grading student work by talking with experienced mentors. If you are working with someone else grading course work, schedule regular meetings, and offer some joint office hours when students can work with both of you. Agree in advance on: what is the timeline regarding returning student work;* what are the goals of the particular assignment/exam; what are various ways to evaluate an assignment/exam; what is the relative weight of each component of an assignment/exam;

what are the types of comments needed and what is an acceptable tone, or to put it another way, how do you respond to a weak answer, exam, or assignment;

what are the anticipated results. *Agree upon a timeline for returning evaluated work and then stick to it. Students need to process and synthesize suggestions and corrections before submitting the next assignment. Be prepared to explain your comments to a student in person; this is another opportunity for them to interact with you and to learn. Perhaps most important, be open to learning from your students and the results you achieved so that the next assignment/exam comes closer to everyone’s goals. (DVG ‘15)

Regarding thesis and dissertation committee make-up: It is understood that many considerations come into play when students create their thesis and dissertation committees: a student’s topic, a faculty member’s expertise and availability, working relations between a student and a faculty member, among others. It is with this in mind that students are encouraged to wait until at least the end of their first semester of study to decide who they’d like heading and populating their committees. That said, all students have the right to create the committee of their choice, composed of the faculty members of their choice. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate a conversation and ask a faculty member to direct her or his thesis or dissertation and confirm that the faculty member is agreeable to doing so by having the faculty member sign the committee form. No student should assume a faculty member’s involvement, or feel obliged to work with any faculty member in particular. We have a diversely interested and capable faculty, and everyone gets along. All of us could provide useful insights to any student committee on which we sat. The fact that a faculty is interested in a student’s topic, however, does not mean that that faculty member should or must be on a student’s committee. The choice of who serves on any student’s committee rests with the student who, in consultation with her or his faculty director, creates the best committee to serve the student’s needs and goals.

46

Language Proficiency Requirements for Graduate Degrees in Musicology Graduate students in Musicology must demonstrate proficiency in appropriate foreign languages at a level sufficient to enable research in their areas of interest prior to taking their comprehensive exam or their doctoral preliminary exam. The Master’s degree requires one foreign language; the PhD requires one additional language. If students intend to study a language beyond those traditionally accepted in the discipline (German, French, Italian, Spanish, Latin, Russian), the Musicology faculty will determine on a case-by-case basis the appropriateness of the language being proposed. The language proficiency requirement may be satisfied in various ways: ● In the case of languages for which the University provides a graduate reading

knowledge course and/or exam, the student must take and pass the course and/or exam prior to taking the appropriate comprehensive or preliminary exam. The student must REGISTER for the exam just as they would register for a course prior to the semester they intend to take the exam.

● In the case of languages for which the University provides a regular course but not a

graduate reading knowledge course or exam, the student should complete a second-year (fourth-semester) course with a grade of B or better.

● When the University does not provide formal instruction in the appropriate language,

the student must work out a plan to master the language at a level equivalent to graduate reading knowledge or two years of coursework and present that plan for approval by the full Musicology faculty.

In all cases the Language Proficiency Requirement must be satisfied prior to taking the master’s comprehensive or doctoral preliminary exam. The Musicology area faculty understands that reading knowledge is only one kind of language knowledge and is willing to consider proposals from students whose spoken mastery of a language is more useful to carrying out the research that is needed to complete their work. The language requirement is intended to facilitate research and so should ideally be completed prior to the submission of a thesis prospectus, in the case of Master’s students, or the preliminary exam, in the case of Doctoral students. It is the student’s responsibility to satisfy this requirement in a timely fashion. In no case will students be allowed to take their Master’s comprehensive exams or to take their doctoral preliminary exam without having completed the language requirement.

47

General Calendar for Thesis and Dissertation Prospectuses (Effective Fall 2016)

The Musicology area faculty has drafted a set of guidelines that enables students: *to complete thesis and dissertation prospectuses; *to circulate documents among committee members as required; *to provide committee members with time to read and offer meaningful comments; *to allow students to incorporate said suggestions; *in the case of a thesis prospectus, to shape the final document in a meaningful way, and in the case of a dissertation prospectus, to provide committee members with a significant description of the dissertation project before they are asked to submit questions or schedule a preliminary exam. The faculty assumes that students will be in close contact with their committee heads and members throughout the process of designing and executing a project. The Musicology area faculty also assumes that students will submit only their best work to the major professor and not depend upon her or him for copy editing. If, in consultation with the student, the major professor determines that the services of a copy editor are necessary, the student will engage one prior to circulating the document to the committee. Committee members will not act as copy editors. Students are responsible for knowing all university and College of Music deadlines pertaining to their degrees and will plan accordingly. In the case of master’s students, a prospectus needs to be approved by the major professor no later than October 15 of the student’s second year. Committee members then have two weeks to read and comment upon the document before returning it to the student. This part of the process should be completed no later than October 31 of the second year in the master’s degree program. A complete draft of the master’s thesis (one approved by the thesis advisor) should be circulated to the thesis committee no later than February 15th. In the case of doctoral students, the prospectus draft must be approved by the major professor a minimum of 5 weeks prior to the anticipated preliminary exam date. Committee members need prospectuses a minimum of three weeks prior to delivering preliminary oral exam questions to the major professor. When possible, doctoral students should aim for converting DIS credits to dissertation credits early in their 5th semester. These guidelines are designed to help both students and faculty manage their work loads, avoid conflicts with regularly scheduled conferences, and produce the strongest possible scholarly projects. Dr. Stephen McElroy, Director of the Reading-Writing Center at Florida State University, keeps an up-to-date list of professional copy editors. Please contact him at smcelroy@fsu.edu.

48

General Calendar for Thesis and Dissertation Documents and Defenses The Musicology area faculty has drafted a set of guidelines that enables students: *to complete thesis and dissertation drafts and finished defense documents in time; *to circulate documents among committee members as required; *to provide committee members with time to read and offer meaningful comments; *to allow students to incorporate said suggestions; *to schedule a defense date that leaves time to make additional minor revisions as determined at the defense, and to meet university requirements for formatting and graduation. The Musicology area schedule complements the larger College of Music recommendations regarding deadlines and requirements with the exception of an additional requirement: that students engage the services of a copy editor prior to circulating the document to the committee if that is necessary. The need for a copy editor will be determined in consultation with the student’s committee chair after s/he has read the complete document. Committee members will not act as copy editors. The student is responsible for knowing all university and College of Music deadlines and will plan accordingly. Working backward from the defense date the student, in consultation with their chair, will complete the stated objectives with the following minimum lead-time (a longer lead time is preferred and recommended): X = The defense date. This date and time have been agreed upon by the chair and all committee members a minimum of 5 weeks prior to the actual date. The student has arranged for the room and collected all forms that need signing to bring to the defense. 1 week prior to X: The committee receives a complete defense copy of the document. The document has been checked by the university formatter. All university formatting requirements must be in place. Students need to check with individual committee members whether they prefer to receive a hard copy or a digital copy. 3 weeks prior to X: The student has two weeks to incorporate committee members’ suggestions before delivering a complete defense copy to committee members. 5 weeks prior to X: The committee receives the document draft and has two weeks to read and comment upon it before returning it to the student. In the case of a dissertation, the expectation is that all committee members, with the exception of the university representative, will read and comment upon the draft, and get their comments to the student either in writing or in a personal conversation. A student should check with committee members to make certain that that is everyone’s intention. N.B. Plan to defend during the fall or spring semesters. Faculty are not required or expected to be present for summer defenses.
