Evaluation Plan
The students will be evaluated in several
ways over the course of the
project. During the beginning of the project, participation will be a
large factor in their evaluation. Students will be asked to become
involved in the music that the class is studying. The music will be
analyzed for permutations, symmetry, and translations. The best way to
evaluate the students’ understanding of the presence of these
mathematical ideas in music is to have the students identify them. The
students also be evaluated on the written music assignments they will
be given. They will be graded on how well their composition follows the
given guidelines as well as on their creativity in the writing of the
music. A major part of the students’ evaluation on this project will
come from their analysis and presentation of a musical work by Steve
Reich. The method that the student developed to notate the sheet music
will be graded on its functionality. The analysis will be graded for
the student’s ability to identify the various mathematical principles
present within the music. The students will also be graded on the
progress they have made between the first presentation and the final
presentation.
Assessment
Students will be assessed throughout the course
through question and answer sessions. Class discussions will be held to
address any concerns the students may have. During lab days the teacher
will walk around to students and address their progress. The students
will be given quizzes over topics they have learned at the beginning of
the project. The intermediate assessment will allow students to
critique each other. This assessment will allow the teacher to make
sure the student is on the right track and redirect them if necessary.
The main assessment will come from their final presentation at the
conclusion of the project. They will present their findings at this
time and the teacher will be able to assess the students understanding
as well as their ability to stay within the parameters of the project.
