Arts Survey curriculum provided by the Louisiana Department of Education. Several of the

readings, activities, projects and writings were taken directly from the State’s documents. All the

information you will need can be found on the internet. A list of websites will be given at the

beginning of each lesson to help you answer the questions. You are required to read through the

Grading Policy and Examinations: Your grade for the course will be calculated in the following manner:

Lesson Assignments 40%

Mid-Course Exam 20%

Final Exam 40%

mailto:[email protected]





You must pass the final exam in order to pass the course. If you do not pass the final exam a grade

of “F” is assigned. (See exam policy in the Policies section)

The midcourse exam will cover major topics from the first five lessons from the text. You are

eligible to take the midcourse exam after Lessons 1 – 5 have been submitted, graded and returned.

The final exam will cover major topics from the remaining five lessons. You are eligible to take the

final exam after Lessons 6 – 10 have been submitted, graded and returned.

Grading Scale:

A ten-point grading scaled is used to assign a letter grade to lessons and exams.

90% - 100% A = 4 quality points

80% - 89% B = 3 quality points

70% - 79% C = 2 quality points

60% - 69% D = 1 quality point

0% - 59% F = 0 quality points

Grade Calculation Example:

Lesson quality points / total number of lessons = lesson average (rounded to nearest tenth)

Lesson Average 27 points / 13 lessons = 2.0769 ≈ 2.1 2.1 * .4 = .84

Mid - Course Exam B = 3 3 * .2 = .60

Final Exam A = 4 4 * .4 = 1.60
