COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will focus upon the Baroque art and
architecture of Italy, Flanders, Spain, France and the Dutch Republic from the
years spanning the close of the 16th century through the 1600s. As
we progress through this survey we will attempt to refine our understanding of
what constitutes the Baroque. What does this term mean? What are its origins
and how has the word conditioned our understanding of the visual forms
associated with it? In the course of this enquiry we will also consider the
social and cultural forces that helped shape the art of the 17th
century. This will entail discussion of the religious, political, economic and
intellectual contexts in which artists and the visual arts flourished.
COURSE TEXT:
Ann Sutherland Harris, Seventeenth-Century Art & Architecture,

POLICIES ON EMAIL COMMUNICATION, LATE AND / OR MISSED WORK:
EMAIL COMMUNICATION: It is now the policy
of the School of the Arts that all email communication between students and
instructors must originate from their official McMaster accounts. This
policy protects the confidentiality and sensitivity of info and confirms the
identity of both parties. SOTA instructors will delete messages that do not
originate from McMaster University email accounts.
LATE AND / OR MISSED WORK: It is the responsibility of each student to
attend tests and exams and meet the requirements of submission for coursework. Missed
tests and exams and late papers will automatically be assigned a grade of 0.
Exceptions to this policy will only be made in the specific
instances outlined below (see Permission to
use MSAF ), and only when met by approval from the
Faculty/Program office and course instructor.
In the event of an illness or injury a student must complete a McMaster
Student Absence Form online. As of September 2011 the McMaster policy regarding
the use of the MSAF is as follows:
·
The maximum value of the missed work for which the
MSAF can be used is 29%.
·
The MSAF can only be used by a student once per
term. The on-line 2011-12 Undergraduate Calendar will be updated to reflect
this.
·
'Personal Reasons' are not a valid reason for using the
MSAF.
·
The e-mail message that goes to students following their
submission of the MSAF will clearly describe the steps that students must take
to receive relief for the missed work, and the timelines for doing so.
Please note: As of September 2011, students will be required to visit their Faculty/Program Office and complete a Permission to use MSAF form, for the following reasons:
·
The request for relief for missed academic work is
personal.
·
The request for relief for missed academic work is
religious.
·
A component of work they have missed is valued at more
than 29%.
·
They have already used the MSAF once in the Term.
Such students may be asked by their Faculty/Program Office to provide appropriate supporting documentation. If the student’s request to use the MSAF is approved, the MSAF link will be made available (on a one-time basis) to the student.
ON ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Academic dishonesty
consists of misrepresentation by deception or by other fraudulent means and can
result in serious consequences, e.g., the grade of zero on an assignment, loss
of credit with a notation on the transcript (notation reads: “Grade of F
assigned for academic dishonesty”), and / or suspension or expulsion from the
university.
It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic
dishonesty. For information on the various kinds of academic dishonesty please
refer to the Academic Integrity Policy (senate Policy Statements), specifically
Appendix 3, located at http://www.mcmaster.ca
The following illustrates only three forms of academic dishonesty:
1. Plagiarism, e.g., the submission of work that is not one’s own or for
which other credit has been obtained.
-2-
2. Improper collaboration in group work.
3. Copying using unauthorized aids in tests and examinations.
Please note the following statement from the Office of Academic
Integrity:
McMaster University has purchased Turnitin.com, which is a detection
service. Students submit their assignment/work electronically to Turnitin.com
where it is checked against the internet, published works and Turnitin’s
database for similar or identical work. If Turnitin finds similar or identical
work that has not been properly cited, a report is sent to the instructor
showing the student’s work and the original source. The instructor reviews what
Turnitin has found and then determines if he/she thinks there is a problem with
the work.
Written work submitted in this course may be subject to
review using Turnitin.com
CENTRE FOR STUDENT DEVELOPMENT: Students who are experiencing (or anticipate)
personal or academic difficulties (e.g., time management problems, language and
/ or writing challenges, undue personal stress, critical family issues, etc.)
during the course of the semester are urged to consult with a counselor at the
Centre for Student Development (CSD). For further information on the CSD and
its services please call (905) 525-9140 [ext. 24711] or go to: http://csd.mcmaster.ca
