| Learning Outcome (or Gen Ed Essential Skill) | Focus Area |
|---|---|
| 3c. Personal and Social Responsibility: Ethical Reasoning | What is music sampling? Can music sampling be considered a form of artistic expression and creativity or does it infringe on the rights of the original creators? What are the benefits and drawbacks of using AI in music creation? Can AI ever replace human creativity? |
| 3e. Personal and Social Responsibility: Civic discourse, civic knowledge and engagement – local and global | We’ve been listening to a lot of recorded music in this class. What are the benefits of hearing a live performance? Relaxed vs. Formal: How would you describe the environment of the concert you attended for this assignment? Was it more laid-back, allowing for the audience to sing or clap along with the music, or was it more formal, where the expectation was that the concertgoers would sit quietly and listen without disturbance? What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a relaxed concert environment versus a more formal one? |
