Well-Being Always Comes First We all go through tough times during the semester, or see our friends struggling. There is lots of help out there. For more information, look at this Canvas page, which has links to various support services in the University and the wider community. |
This course examines the role of music in the construction and reinforcement of identities. It considers a range of socially constructed concepts including race, gender and ethnicity. Additionally the political, national, religious, colonial and diaspora contexts are also considered in music identity and expression. This course explores these cultural contexts in order to better understand music and identity, and the insights they provides to examine and reflect on global societies and cultures. Examples and case studies are drawn from music’s across the globe, including Europe, South Asia, Oceania, Africa, the American continents and Caribbean Sea.

GRADE POLICY, EXTENSION, AND PENALTIES FOR LATE SUBMISSION
SUBMITTING WORK LATE
Please try your hardest to meet coursework deadlines. Extensions are possible if, for example, you or a family member falls ill, or some other circumstance beyond your control prevents you from completing your work.
You can apply for an extension by contacting me or your tutor via email or during office hours, please do so before the assignment is due, or as soon as possible when circumstances do not allow prior notification. You may need to provide supporting information, like a doctor's or counsellor's certificate, but the important thing is to get in contact.
Late submission of coursework is possible without an extension, so long as you are ready to accept a penalty by losing marks. Late penalties help ensure fairness, otherwise some students would have more time to complete work than others.
The maximum penalty for submitting take-home work late when you do not have an extension is: 10% per day or part thereof, including weekends, which means there are no late assignments accepted 10 days after it is originally due.
Everyone confronts difficulties at some point. So please talk to or email me if you are experiencing troubles finishing or submitting coursework. I will work with you wherever possible and, of course, it is better to get an assignment in than not at all (even if it is incomplete).
