Thanks! - course credit for performance work

[Lionel Walsh]

Hello All: I don't think I noted that our courses for performance or 
production on our main stage require that students keep a rehearsal and 
performance journal, submit their research, and write a process paper, 
which is graded for content, MLA style, and the mechanics of writing. This 
actually applies to all of our performance courses.

Thanks! - course credit for performance work






Thank you to all who responded to my query about course credit for 
performance and production work.  Merci à tous et à toutes qui ont répondu 
à ma question.  J'en sais gré. 
The results, in short, are that most programs have some mechanism for 
granting course credit to students for performance and/or production work 
and a majority appear to have a performance practicum course with no (or 
very few) requirements beyond the students' significant contribution to a 
department show.  While this is certainly more common (and indeed, is 
often required) for BFA students, it is not an uncommon practice in BA 
programs.  At McGill, we have been arranging for this kind of credit 
through independent studies courses and are very glad to know that there 
is evidence from programs across the country and in the States to support 
our bid for a dedicated course number. 
Cheers, 
Erin
