EXAMINATIONS:
The examinations will include material from the lectures, the videos, and the required reading. Makeup examinations will be given only for compelling documented reasons, for circumstances that are beyond your control, and will be given on the same day as the final exam.
TERM PAPER:
The term paper assignment will require a visit to a local museum, and will consist of an analysis of a piece of art from one of the periods covered in class. The details will be discussed in class. The paper must be turned in on its due date, before class. Paper must be submitted in hard copy, not via email. No late papers will be accepted.
