Week 15
Oceania
This is our last lesson of the semester. This week, learn about music from various places in Oceania, broadly defined to include the thousands of islands in the Central and South Pacific Ocean. Depending on the map used, sometimes countries in Asia (such as Indonesia) or Australasia (such as the Philippines) are considered part of Oceania. As always, please be specific about what culture and music you are focusing on in your posts rather than lumping all of Oceania into one culture.
Checkpoint 4 will be posted on Blackboard. You have until Sunday, 11:59 PM of Week 15 to complete it on time for the +2 bonus. Remember that all four checkpoints are required to pass MUSC 3101.
Go to My Grades on Blackboard; have you completed Checkpoints 1-3? If not, please do so ASAP. If you complete all four checkpoints on time, an extra +2 will be added to the "Bonus" column as well.
If you've reached 100 points:
Congratulations! Your only responsibilities left in this course are to complete all four checkpoints. You will want to familiarize yourself at least a little bit with the lesson material in this unit, since Checkpoint 4 will ask what you learned in Unit 4 (in the same format as the previous checkpoints).
The Lesson
Click each title to link to material, click each drop-down arrow for a description.
Some of you enjoyed having an interactive lesson on Google Slides, so I'm bringing out another one. There are only a few topics to learn about this week, so choose at least three. You can find all the same information with more description on this Google Doc.
tasks this week:
Checkpoint 4! Find it on Blackboard under "Checkpoints." Reminder that completing all four checkpoints is mandatory for passing MUSC 3101.
Week 15 expedition & quest tasks due Sunday of Week 15, 11:59 PM (notice there are two quests!).
Unit 4 teach & explore task: Submit one of each any time before the end of the unit (Sunday of Week 15). Follow the same format as before, but now your submissions must relate to Unit 4 topics.
Check your points after Wednesday and email me if there is an error.
Not required, but if you enjoyed this course, consider filling out the evaluation form from Brooklyn College. Log into the WebCentral portal at http://portal.brooklyn.edu to find the evaluation for this and all other courses. Thank you in advance for your submission; as an adjunct my job is always somewhat in jeopardy and that survey helps my chances of staying employed!
