This paper has two types of compulsory classes: lectures and tutorials.

Lectures. You are expected to take notes on the main points of all lectures. Attendance is expected. All text from the lecture slides will be posted in CANAVAS. Lecture slides are NOT posted in CANVAS. We do not record lectures.

Tutorials. Tutorial exercises are worth 10% of your final grade. Completion of each tutorial task per week is worth 1 mark. In tutorials, you will have the opportunity to ask questions, clarify lectures and readings, develop verbal skills and discuss relevant issues. They will also cover exam preparation, essay planning, plagiarism, referencing styles and academic writing skills.

EXAM

• The exam will be MULTIPLE CHOICE.
• The exam questions will be based on the lectures and required readings.
• You will need to attend lectures and tutorials, keep up with readings (read them, make notes, make outlines for study), hand assignments in on time, and regularly review your notes and key concepts in order to pass this course.
• The course content changes from year to year so past exams may have different material. There are no answers available for past exams.

TEXTS:

• There is one required reading/article/chapter assigned per week. This is listed as an ESSENTIAL reading. This article/chapter will be tested on in the exam.
• There are also FURTHER readings which you can use for your essays
• Please read the ESSENTIAL readings in the week listed in the Lecture Program and make sensible study notes for yourself on their main points, arguments, angles, politics and relevance (to the study of popular music). You will learn the most by doing the weekly reading before attending the lecture. Readings also provide the basis for discussions in tutorials, and students are expected to contribute to tutorial discussions on the required readings.
