FINAL EXAM PORTFOLIO
Throughout the semester you will be working toward your final exam project. Your final exam grade will be worth 20% of your semester grade and will be the average score of all Garageband recordings submitted throughout the semester. If you are happy with the quarterly score you receive on your test when originally given, you may keep that score for that portion of the exam portfolio. If there is any song that you wish to re-record, you may opt to do so and submit your final exam by the due date.
If you are happy with the recordings you may have previously submitted for quarterly performance grades, you may use the same mp3s in your final project or simply indicate on your final exam form that you will let the grade you previously earned stand for a portion of the portfolio grade. Please note, that every singer must earn at least an 85% on all songs in order to be vetted to sing that song in the studio.
If you believe you can improve your performance after the benefit of a full semester of practicing, you may submit new recordings for the final project. This will be an effective way to ensure there are no weak links as we prepare for the recording and the concert second semester. If there is any song that you wish to re-record, you may opt to do so and submit your final exam by the due date.
