A list of all approved critiques will be posted on the inside door of JO 1.216
Paper:
Your final paper will be an overview of the entire class. What impact did the videos and dance
performances have on your understanding of modern dance and other dance forms? What is your
personal definition of modern dance along with what you have learned and discovered from the class?
There will be no research evolved in this paper. The paper is based entirely of your opinion.
Extra Credit
Extra credit may be received by attending other dance performances. You may receive 5 points by just
turning in a ticket and program or 10 if accompanied by a critique. The credit will be added to the final
total of points accrued for the course at the end of the semester, not a specific category.

policies and procedures go the University Catalog on the UTD website.
A grade of Incomplete may be given, at the discretion of the instructor of record for a course, when a
student has completed at least 70% of the required course material but cannot complete all requirements
by the end of the semester. The incomplete course grade (grade of X) must be completed within the time
period specified by the instructor, not to exceed eight weeks from the first day of the subsequent long
semester. Upon completion of the required work, the symbol X may be converted into a letter grade (A
through F) by the instructor. If the grade of Incomplete is not removed by the end of the specified period,
it will automatically be changed to F. Extension beyond the specified limit can be made only with the
permission of the instructor and the student’s ADU (or the Undergraduate Dean in the case of students
without declared majors). A student may not re-enroll in a course in which a grade of X remains.
Students may obtain a petition/documentation form for an Incomplete in the office of the student’s ADU.
The form is to be submitted to the instructor from whom the Incomplete is sought. Students should be
aware that an Incomplete is only appropriate for work unavoidably missed at semester’s end. Students
should contact their school offic e for school policies on Incompletes. If a significant fraction of a
semester is missed with cause, see the section on “Withdrawing from and Adding Courses”.
Academic Dishonesty
The faculty expects from its students a high level of responsibility and academic honesty. Because the
value of an academic degree depends upon the absolute integrity of the work done by the student for that
degree, it is imperative that a student demonstrate a high standard of individual honor in his or her
scholastic work.
Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts or omissions related to applications
for enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission as one’s own work of material that is not
one’s own. As a general rule, scholastic dishonesty involves one of the following acts: cheating,
plagiarism, collusion and/or falsifying academic records. Students suspected of academic dishonesty are
subject to disciplinary proceedings.
Disability Services
Disability Services provides accommodations for students with documented disabilities. Students are
urged to make their needs known to Disability Services as soon as they are admitted to the university. The
Office of Disability Services is located in the Student Union, (972) 883-2070.
