Instructors expect that journal entries will reveal the critical thinking
employed when a student assesses and evaluates a topic. Entries are written
in response to questions on a topic posed by the instructors on Blackboard.
The journal assignments are listed under the Discussion Tool. Due dates
are specified on the Calendar Tool, in addition to being listed in the
Lecture
Schedule
for the course. Journals are due by the start time of class on the due
date, by 9 AM. Late work will not be accepted for credit; you may certainly
turn in work
early to Blackboard.
Format: Please submit your journal entry to the instructor via Blackboard.
Each instructor provides distinctive directions for each journal entry in a
particular art form. This is not a "Dear Diary" kind of assignment.
Log on to Blackboard, go to the Discussion Tool, and then click on the name
of the journal assignment (e.g. Music Journal 1; Art Journal 1; Theatre Journal
1.) In general, use complete sentences and paragraphs for your journal entry.
