Assignments
1. Production Critiques: Students are required to attend the following
AUS productions: Hiraeth and Flashbacks and write a critique on the
acting. Guidelines will be handed out in class.
2. Improvisations: Throughout the semester, you will be assigned 4
improvisations for which you will be graded. These will be explained
in detail as we get to them. These improvisations will require
working with other members of the class on your own time in order
to prepare them. Please make sure that when you are assigned
to work with others, you fulfill your obligation by showing up
on time and ready to work. Failure to do so should be
reported to the instructor, and will count against your grade
for that assignment.
3. Quizzes: There will be 4 scheduled quizzes during the semester.
These will include readings from the text, handouts, and what is done
in class. Readings from the text are due on the dates indicated on
your syllabus. You will be asked to put points from the reading on the
board. Discussions will then be conducted in class, and you are
expected to participate. Failure to do so will trigger a pop quiz on the
reading.
4. Monologue: Students will prepare and present a monologue from a
play assigned by the instructor. Grading is based on the final
presentation, and the following factors are worth 20 points each:
Character Analysis, VoiceProjection, Objectives, Motivation, and
Movement. Line memorization is not graded. It is expected of actors.
Failure to fully memorize lines by the date specified on the course
calendar will result in a grade of 0.
5. Scene Exercise: This is a scene assigned by the instructor. Grading is
based on final presentation, and the following factors are worth 20
points each: Character Analysis, Voice Projection, Objectives,
Motivation, Connection, and Presence. Line memorization is not
graded. It is expected of actors. Failure to fully memorize lines will
result in a grade of 0.
6. Written Final: A comprehensive written final will be given, which will
cover all class readings, lectures and discussions and/or a final scene

Grading Note
I will not change grades at the end of the term for any reason other than instructor error. If your
final grade ends in a .5, it will round up. If it is a .4, it will round down. For instance, if you end
with a 79.5, you will get an B-, but a 79.4 will be a C+.
Make-Up Policies
No make-ups will be given for any assignments or projects which are missed.
If a final project is missed due to absence, the missing student will receive a grade of 0.
Students may be allowed to present a missed scene presentation or project at a later time, only if
there are extreme overriding circumstances, such as personal or family emergencies and/or
illness. Make-up scene opportunities are left to the discretion of the instructor.
