Theatre Etiquette

The basis of theatre etiquette is respect. Respect should be given to the actors on stage, the crew behind the scenes, your fellow audience members, and the staff working the event. Below are a few things that you can do to display proper theatre etiquette:

• Be on Time. As a general rule of thumb, it is recommended to arrive at the theatre at least 30-45 minutes before show time. This allows time to get parked, pick up your ticket, use the restroom before the show starts, and find your seat.
• Some shows do not allow entry to the theatre after the show has begun. Most theatres have a no refund policy and do not allow for tickets to be exchanged after the show has started.

• If the show does allow for late seating, you will not be allowed to enter the theatre until a time that is not disruptive to the show and the audience members (this could be only a few minutes to wait, or you may have to wait until intermission if there is one for the show). You will likely be seated at a seat different from the one you originally purchased.

• Make sure that your phone and any other electronic devices are turned off during the show. Cell phones interrupt the performance and are distracting to your fellow audience members AND the actors on stage. Photography and video recording is not permitted. This is due to copyright laws.
• When things go wrong...Are you lost, or having trouble finding parking? Is someone sitting in your seat? Reach out to the box office staff or an usher and ask for help! They are there to help you have the best experience possible. Please be calm and courteous, and fully explain the issue with as much details as possible so that they can help you in the best way.
• Side Note – many of the local theatres rely on the support of volunteers for their ushers and box office staff. Our ushers and box office staff here at Theatre UCF are all students. If something does come up, please treat the ushers and Box Office staff with respect and give them the opportunity to make the situation right. They want you to have a great experience!

 

General Assessment Program (GEP) Assessment Quizzes:

There are 3 preliminary General Assessment Program (GEP) Quizzes that should be taken at the BEGINNING of the course, and 3 post GEP Assessment Quizzes that should be taken near the END of the course. These quizzes assist in evaluating effectiveness in a GEP course and DO NOT affect your grade in this class. Please DO take the quizzes, as they are very easy, they give you a bit of practice in accessing the course functions, acclimating to the theatrical terms used in the course, and they reflect your growth in the class.

The GEP Assessment Quizzes can be found under the QUIZZES Tab towards the bottom of the page where they are listed under 'Practice Quizzes'.

• The Preliminary GEP Assessment Quizzes are available on January 7.
• The Post GEP Assessment Quizzes are available after March 5.

Policies:

UCF Creed

Integrity, scholarship, community, creativity, and excellence are the core values that guide our conduct, performance, and decisions.

Integrity

I will practice and defend academic and personal honesty.

Scholarship

I will cherish and honor learning as a fundamental purpose of my membership in the UCF community.

Community

I will promote an open and supportive campus environment by respecting the rights and contributions of every individual.

Creativity

I will use my talents to enrich the human experience.

Excellence

I will strive toward the highest standards of performance in any endeavor I undertake.

Ethics statement

As reflected in the UCF creed, integrity and scholarship are core values that should guide our conduct and decisions as members of the UCF community. Plagiarism and cheating contradict these values, and so are very serious academic offenses. Penalties can include a failing grade in an assignment or in the course, or suspension or expulsion from the university. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with and follow the University’s Rules of Conduct (see http://www.osc.sdes.ucf.edu/).

Academic Integrity/Plagiarism

Many incidents of plagiarism result from students’ lack of understanding about what constitutes plagiarism. However, you are expected to familiarize yourself with UCF’s policy on plagiarism. All work you submit must be your own scholarly and creative efforts.  UCF’s Golden Rule defines plagiarism as follows: “whereby another’s work is used or appropriated without any indication of the source, thereby attempting to convey the impression that such work is the student’s own.”

Similarly, please see an Ethics statement.

Responses to Academic Dishonesty, Plagiarism, or Cheating

UCF faculty members have a responsibility for your education and the value of a UCF degree, and so seek to prevent unethical behavior and when necessary respond to infringements of academic integrity. Penalties can include a failing grade in an assignment or in the course, suspension or expulsion from the university, and/or a "Z Designation" on a student's official transcript indicating academic dishonesty, where the final grade for this course will be preceded by the letter Z. For more information about the Z Designation, see http://z.ucf.edu/.

 For more information about UCF's Rules of Conduct, see http://www.osc.sdes.ucf.edu/.

 

Attendance Policy: UCF honors religious holidays for all faiths so please plan your schedules so that you can complete the weekly assignments by 11:59 on the Sunday ending each week. Late work will not be accepted.

 

Course Accessibility Statement

It is my goal that this class be an accessible and welcoming experience for all students, including those with disabilities that may impact learning in this class. If anyone believes the design of this course poses barriers to effectively participating and/or demonstrating learning in this course, please meet with me (with or without a Student Accessibility Services (SAS) accommodation letter) to discuss reasonable options or adjustments. During our discussion, I may suggest the possibility/necessity of your contacting SAS (Ferrell Commons 185; 407-823-2371; sas@ucf.edu) to talk about academic accommodations. You are welcome to talk to me at any point in the semester about course design concerns, but it is always best if we can talk at least one week prior to the need for any modifications.

Webcourses

Webcourses is an online course management system (accessed through my.ucf.edu and then the "Online Course Tools" tab) which will be used as a medium for turning in assignments and a forum for communicating with your teammates. Under the "Discussion" section, you will have a designated forum section. My recommendation is to check Webcourses every 2-3 days for updates from your teammates or myself.

Student Grades

Graded tests and materials in this course will be returned individually only by request. You can access your scores at any time using the Grades section of Webcourses@UCF.

Technology/Software Requirements

Students will be expected to have access to a computer frequently, as all writing assignments used will be typed out and not handwritten. The software you use to write your assignments is irrelevant, as long as you follow my writing guidelines outlined later in my syllabus. I recommend to have access to a computer weekly.

Internet Usage

You will be expected to have daily access to the internet and email, since I will be emailing you constantly about assignment updates, additions and changes. All students at UCF are required to obtain a Knight's Email account and check it regularly for official university communications. If you do not own a computer, there are computer accessible to you in all UCF's computer labs, and most computer labs have computers connected to the internet. For further information on computer labs, please see the following website: http://registrar.sdes.ucf.edu/webguide/index_quickfind.aspx.

University Course Requirements

This course may count as a GEP Humanities requirement and a Diversity requirement for some majors. For more information about GEP and Diversity requirements, please see the current course catalog (http://www.ucf.edu/catalog/current/) for Diversity and GEP course requirements.

Diversity and Inclusion

The University of Central Florida considers the diversity of its students, faculty, and staff to be a strength and critical to its educational mission. UCF expects every member of the university community to contribute to an inclusive and respectful culture for all in its classrooms, work environments, and at campus events. Dimensions of diversity can include sex, race, age, national origin, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, intellectual and physical ability, sexual orientation, income, faith and non-faith perspectives, socio-economic class, political ideology, education, primary language, family status, military experience, cognitive style, and communication style. The individual intersection of these experiences and characteristics must be valued in our community.

Title IX prohibits sex discrimination, including sexual misconduct, sexual violence, sexual harassment, and retaliation. If you or someone you know has been harassed or assaulted, you can find resources available to support the victim, including confidential resources and information concerning reporting options at www.shield.ucf.edu and http://cares.sdes.ucf.edu/.

If there are aspects of the design, instruction, and/or experiences within this course that result in barriers to your inclusion or accurate assessment of achievement, please notify the instructor as soon as possible and/or contact Student Accessibility Services.

For more information on diversity and inclusion, Title IX, accessibility, or UCF’s complaint processes contact:

• Title IX – EO/AA - http://www.eeo.ucf.edu/ & askanadvocate@ucf.edu
• Disability Accommodation – Student Accessibility Services - http://sas.sdes.ucf.edu/ & sas@ucf.edu

Online Learning

Online learning is not for everyone; some people may not be able to manage a course that does not meet face to face to learn. Online learning requires lots of planning and self-pacing so that you may be successful in my course. Since I will be covering a significant amount of material over the semester, I would highly recommend treating this course like a regular lecture course, and keeping up with lectures and assignments. Late work will not be accepted so be sure to do your assignments before each Sunday at 11:59PM.

Students should also connect with Student Accessibility Services (SAS) http://sas.sdes.ucf.edu/ (Ferrell Commons 185, sas@ucf.edu, phone 407-823-2371). Through Student Accessibility Services, a Course Accessibility Letter may be created and sent to professors, which informs faculty of potential access and accommodations that might be reasonable. Determining reasonable access and accommodations requires consideration of the course design, course learning objectives and the individual academic and course barriers experienced by the student.

3. Campus Safety Statement

Emergencies on campus are rare, but if one should arise during class, everyone needs to work together. Students should be aware of their surroundings and familiar with some basic safety and security concepts.

• In case of an emergency, dial 911 for assistance.
• Every UCF classroom contains an emergency procedure guide posted on a wall near the door. Students should make a note of the guide’s physical location and review the online version at http://emergency.ucf.edu/emergency_guide.html
• Students should know the evacuation routes from each of their classrooms and have a plan for finding safety in case of an emergency.
• If there is a medical emergency during class, students may need to access a first-aid kit or AED (Automated External Defibrillator). To learn where those are located, see http://www.ehs.ucf.edu/AEDlocations-UCF (click on link from menu on left).
• To stay informed about emergency situations, students can sign up to receive UCF text alerts by going to https://my.ucf.edu and logging in. Click on “Student Self Service” located on the left side of the screen in the toolbar, scroll down to the blue “Personal Information” heading on the Student Center screen, click on “UCF Alert”, fill out the information, including e-mail address, cell phone number, and cell phone provider, click “Apply” to save the changes, and then click “OK.”
• Students with special needs related to emergency situations should speak with their instructors outside of class.
• To learn about how to manage an active-shooter situation on campus or elsewhere, consider viewing this video (<You CAN Survive an Active Shooter (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. >).

Campus Safety Statement for Students in Online-Only Courses
Though most emergency situations are primarily relevant to courses that meet in person, such incidents can also impact online students, either when they are on or near campus to participate in other courses or activities or when their course work is affected by off-campus emergencies. The following policies apply to courses in online modalities.

• To stay informed about emergency situations, students can sign up to receive UCF text alerts by going to https://my.ucf.edu and logging in. Click on “Student Self Service” located on the left side of the screen in the toolbar, scroll down to the blue “Personal Information” heading on the Student Center screen, click on “UCF Alert”, fill out the information, including e-mail address, cell phone number, and cell phone provider, click “Apply” to save the changes, and then click “OK.”
