On 25 Nоvember, yоu were given 3 pоtentiаl exаm prompts. Two of those prompts аre below and you are to answer one of your choosing.Your answer should take the form of an extended essay. This should be multiple paragraphs in length (think introductory paragraph, 1 paragraph per example, and conclusion paragraph). Your essay should draw on specific ideas and pieces discussed in class. To earn full credit, you must cite at least one reading from class. (Note: by "cite" I do not mean footnotes/parentheticals, but mentioning specific readings and ideas contained therein.)In completing this exam, you are not allowed to use notes, nor use generative AI to complete this exam. You will be assessed with the posted rubric (which was also distributed in class). Style, grammar, and spelling will play no role in your exam grade. You have two hours to complete your exam.Prompts1.) In “Notes on Camp,” Sontag describes Camp sensibility as “disengaged, depoliticized—or at least apolitical.” Do you agree or disagree with this assessment and why, with a particular focus on musical styles/genres/performers? In your response, describe multiple musics discussed in class and at least one reading. You may mention styles/genres/performers from beyond class, but this should be above and beyond the in-class examples.2.) How can music produced by non-queer composers and/or performers nonetheless be understood as embodying a Queer Aesthetic or Camp? And how does this relate to dominant performance traditions of a particular style or era? In your response, describe multiple performers/composers discussed in class and at least one reading. You may mention performers/composers from beyond class, but this should be above and beyond the in-class examples.Exam RubricCriteria100-7575–5050–2525–0Response and Approach (35%)Insightfully addresses the topic in a well-crafted introduction; Clear thesis statement; Argument is focused and effectively carried out throughout the essay.Addresses the topic in the introduction adequately; Thesis statement shows some weaknesses; Argument is sometimes inconsistent.Vaguely introduces the topic in the introduction; Thesis statement shows severe weaknesses in lack of clarity; Argument is sometimes limited or unfocused.Does not address the topic at all or is completely off-topic; unrecognizable thesis statement; Argument is unfocused or limited.Analysis of Musical Features (45%)Perceptive observations about and discussions of musical features; thoughtful choices of supporting detail; unique and insightful analysis; excellent balance between textual support and insightful commentary.Adequate observations and discussion of musical features; supporting detail somewhat weak; adequate analysis that focuses on the obvious; not enough commentary to support claims.Some awareness and discussion of musical features; supporting details are slightly irrelevant or insignificant; some attempt at analysis; few to no independent thinking.Little awareness of musical features; little attempt to analyze or interpret musical elements; no evidence of independent thought.Organization and Structure (10%)Impeccable structure (topic sentences, paragraph organization, transition phrases); Ideas develop logically; demonstrates knowledge and application of discipline-specific vocabulary.Adequate organization and structure, though with flawed development of ideas; lacks sophistication in idea development; adequate command of language and discipline-specific vocabulary.Some grasp of organization and structure with poorly defined paragraphs; little maturity in idea development; some command of language and discipline-specific vocabulary.Little grasp of structure and organization with poorly defined paragraphs; no maturity in idea development; no command of language and discipline-specific vocabulary.
