Academics Assessment and Student Portfolios The Department has a long history of assessing students' progress. A major aspect of assessment documentation is found in a cumulative file, a "portfolio", maintained for each music major. Students have access to their file, and may take a copy to their transfer institution. The goal is to document activity and progress applicable to the acceptance and placement in a transfer music program, most likely a baccalaureate degree program. Performance Examinations (Juries) Performance examinations (juries) are held at the end of each semester by each of the discipline areas. During this time, students perform for the studio faculty repertoire and technical studies that they have prepared throughout the semester. Each of the disciplines (voice, winds, piano, etc.) is responsible for setting jury criteria, scheduling, and evaluating student performers. In general, performance examinations occur during final exams each semester via sign-up sheets posted on the doors of the appropriate studio faculty. The portion of the final grade assigned by the jury also varies among the studio areas. See your studio instructor or consult the studio lesson syllabus for specific details. The following are the standards for jury examinations based on instrumentation or voicing. Instrumental Rubric: Woodwinds, Reeds, Percussion Each category is scored on a 15-point scale. 15 indicates an exceptional performance level, 8 is the average, and 6.5 is passing. The jury form provides for critical written comments as well. Reeds and winds will be assessed using the above point system on the following criteria: tone, intonation, articulation, tempo, rhythm, and musicality. Major and minor scales will be evaluated as well. Percussion juries will use the above point system using the following assessments: (pitched) grip, rhythm, tempo and (unpitched) grip (right, left hand), rhythm and tempo. 17
