The\u00a0Theatre\u00a0<\/strong>division of the Department of Theatre and Dance offers three main types of courses: Lecture, Studio and Practicum.<\/p>\n One lecture credit hour equals 50 minutes of in classroom instruction and a minimum of 100 minutes of student work outside of class, per week per semester (15 weeks). Example<\/strong>: THTR 210 Theatre History I, three credits, meeting twice a week for an hour and 15 minutes per meeting, for a total of two and a half hours of class meeting per week. Examples of outside of class work: reading, studying for quizzes and exams, researching and writing papers.<\/p>\n One studio credit hour equals a minimum of 50 minutes of in-classroom faculty interaction and instruction, with an expectation of a minimum of 100 minutes of student work outside of class, per week per semester (15 weeks). Example<\/strong>: THTR 222 Acting III, three credits, meeting twice a week for an hour and forty minutes per meeting, for a total of three hours and twenty minutes of class meeting per week. Examples of outside of class work: reading, memorizing and rehearsing scenes and monologues for in-class presentation, studying for quizzes, researching and writing papers.<\/p>\n One studio credit hour equals 180 minutes of in-class faculty instruction, demonstration and interaction, with a variable expectation of very minimal outside of class work, to about 64 hours of outside work \u2013 over a period of about two and a half weeks for a theatre production.<\/p>\n Example<\/strong>: THTR 200 Production Stagecraft, one credit, meeting once a week for three hours. Usually, virtually all work is completed in class \u2013 in this case in the scene shop: learning and practicing fundamental theatrical carpentry skills, painting techniques and construction of scenic elements.<\/p>\n In addition to the above, students may assist with \u201cloading the show\u201d into the theatre, which is about an additional 12 hours of work.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Dance\u00a0<\/strong>division of the Department of Theatre and Dance offers three main types of courses: Lecture, Studio and Practicum.<\/p>\n One lecture credit hour equals 50 minutes of in classroom instruction and a minimum of 100 minutes of student work outside of class, per week per semester (15 weeks). Example<\/strong>: DNCE 317 Dance History, three credits, meeting twice a week for an hour and fifteen minutes per meeting, for a total of two and a half hours of class meeting per week. Examples of outside of class work: reading, studying for quizzes and exams, researching and writing papers.<\/p>\n One studio credit hour equals a minimum of 100 minutes of in classroom faculty interaction and instruction, with an expectation of a minimum of 150 minutes of student work outside of class, per week per semester (15 weeks). Example<\/strong>: DNCE 255 Ballet II, three credits, meeting four days a week for an hour and twenty minutes per meeting, for a total of two hours and forty minutes of class meeting per week. Examples of outside of class work: reviewing and practicing dance techniques for in-class presentation, studying for quizzes, researching and writing papers.<\/p>\n One half (0.5) studio credit hour equals\u00a0up to<\/em>\u00a0100-330 minutes of weekly in class faculty choreography, instruction, demonstration and interaction (although most students\u00a0do not<\/em>\u00a0attend every daily rehearsal\/class meeting), with a variable expectation of\u00a0outside of class<\/em>\u00a0work of about 60 hours \u2013 over a period of about two and a half weeks for a dance production.<\/p>\n Example<\/strong>: DNCE 485 Dance Repertory, .5 credit, meeting four days a week for an hour and fifty minutes, and one day a week for four hours.<\/p>\n However, because students only attend rehearsals for the dance piece(s) in which they have been cast, a student cast in one dance piece can expect to rehearse a minimum of two hours a week in class, plus about an additional 60 hours total\u00a0outside of class<\/em>\u00a0in dress and technical rehearsals, and performances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Theatre Division The\u00a0Theatre\u00a0division of the Department of Theatre and Dance offers three main types of courses: Lecture, Studio and Practicum. 1.\u00a0Lecture One lecture credit hour equals 50 minutes of in classroom instruction and a minimum of 100 minutes of student work outside of class, per week per semester (15 weeks).
