Grading:

Evaluation of class performance is based on preparation for and participation in collaborative media performances with the ensemble. This preparation includes the development of your own performance tools and their evolution throughout the semester. It also includes your contributions to the intellectual and creative progress of the ensemble as a whole. Collaborative performance and improvisation demands the full committment and effort of all members, and grading is based on your contribution to a positive and ambitious group ethic.
