I'm writing to see if you or any faculty in your department would be interested in working together to organize a workshop for faculty and students with a guest artist, Pat Masioni, that I'm bringing to campus in the fall as part of a Winthrop-King Institute event I am co-organizing in November on Congolese literature, music, and art (the first in a series I'm developing entitled, "Global Africas"). I've attached the short description for the event to this email. Pat Masioni has been making comics for a long time now and he has conducted many workshops. The program for the 1.5 day event is rather fluid for the moment, but I'm hoping to put together a workshop with Masioni for faculty and graduate and undergraduate students. I'm hoping to build more connections across disciplines. To that end, I'd appreciate if you would share this information with any and all colleagues and students that you think would find it interesting and have them contact me. We intend for all events to be open to the public and thus, we will have people available to translate if need be for all events. I look forward to hearing from you and please don't hesitate if you have any questions.

The University intends to stay open for the remainder of the semester; however, we are asked to plan a transition to online teaching where we can. To this end I am asking you to let me know which classes you intend to teach online and which will require student access to workshops for the completion of their assignments. The deadline to submit your plans is the 23rd of March. I am meeting with Lab Managers to work on a schedule for opening hours and for routine sanitizing of equipment and tools. The University has created several webpages listed below that can help you plan. If you are unfamiliar with ZOOM and CANVAS there are training sessions you can sign up for. The ODL emergency instruction page provides steps to help you effectively implement online delivery. Please take some time to read through these steps before you plan how your current face-to-face class will transition to online. https://odl.fsu.edu/ https://odl.fsu.edu/emergency-instruction The remote-work page is also useful. https://its.fsu.edu/remote-work Please direct your students to this page if they have questions about the virus. https://news.fsu.edu/coronavirus-frequently-asked-questions/ Summary What I require from you by March 23rd end of day (5:00pm): 1. Two lists of classes: one you intend to transition to online AND the other you will continue face-to-face. Indicate which classes require lab access. 1. A brief outline of how you will: * deliver online * what software you will require or use * how the students will be able to achieve the learning outcomes. 1. Help students understand that we are working hard to keep their studies on track.

For now, we expect to operate in our typical manner after spring break and beyond, unless our situation changes dramatically in the meantime?should that happen, all FSU constituencies will be notified in a timely way.? That being said the Provost has stated yesterday that if you can transition to online you may do so after the break but we must be ready to if advised. The University has been sending COVID-19 information to students and has also solicited information about their plans for travel during the break. Some are intending to travel internationally and also go on cruises and those students have been advised to self-quarantine at home as the University dorms cannot accommodate them. I have already received plans from some of you ? thank you.

If some students won?t be here then it seems reasonable to switch to online for all. I presume that planned student shows will go ahead ? Preston has confirmed this in MoFA but there may be need to be adjustments to the specifics around installation and events. He will confirm and I will get back to you on that. Liz I take it from the information below that your visitor will have to be postponed. The labs and workshops will remain accessible for students who are staying in TLH.

FSU SHIFTS FROM IN-PERSON CLASSES TO REMOTE CLASSES MARCH 23 FOR TWO WEEKS. UNIVERSITY REMAINS OPEN FOR BUSINESS. IN-PERSON CLASSES RESUME APRIL 6. Florida State University has proactively monitored and responded to daily developments as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread in Florida and across the United States. Administrators campus-wide have met every day for several weeks to assess and carry out protocols and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), Florida Department of Health, and other medical authorities. Our highest priority remains the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff. Therefore, we will shift to online instruction for all courses on March 23 for a period of at least two weeks. FSU has a robust emergency plan in place and is fully prepared to provide instruction online or by other methods. We are taking this action proactively to protect not only our campus community but the larger community as well. Important Dates: March 14 at Noon ? Residence halls will close to visitors and for those residents who depart for spring break. Residents who stay may remain in the halls. March 23 ? April 5 ? Classes will be held via remote instruction. April 4 at Noon ? Residence halls are anticipated to reopen to visitors and those residents who traveled for spring break. April 6 ? Face-to-face classes are anticipated to resume. Campus Operations: Beginning at the end of the academic day on Friday, March 20, and through at least April 4, Florida State University will move from face-to-face instruction to online instruction and other alternative methods. * During the two-week period of online instruction following spring break, the university will remain generally open for normal business operations. * Students are encouraged to leave campus for spring break and the two-week period after. * Students who leave campus should take with them any devices, textbooks and other materials they will need to continue their coursework remotely. * They should take any personal effects, valuables or other items they might need for an extended period of time away from campus. * Students who choose to remain in our residence halls on campus during spring break and during the period of online instruction will not be allowed to travel away from Tallahassee and come back to their residence hall. * Campus services will remain open and operational with limited or reduced services for students during the two-week online instruction period, such as dining, library services and counseling services. * Official guidelines around special events will be forthcoming. * The university will continue to implement CDC-recommended social distancing on campus. * Units that have invited an external speaker or external groups to campus between March 30 and April 6 should postpone, cancel or virtually conduct those events. The university will provide guidance on athletic events and competitions based on coordination with the Atlantic Coast Conference and the NCAA. * Despite changes to the delivery of academic content and our residential status, Florida State University remains open and fully operational. * University Administrators and Emergency Management officials will continue to take measures to protect the health and safety of our community. * Faculty and Staff will play an important role in helping transition coursework to online content and continuing the operations of the institution. As such, faculty and staff who are well are expected to report to work as normal in their regularly assigned work locations. * We have asked all employees who have duties that can be performed elsewhere to begin preparing for remote work. Those preparations should continue; however, we do not anticipate any immediate change to schedules and work locations at this time. * OPS employees should continue to work as long as there is meaningful work available. Absent the availability of work, OPS employees may extend their work hours after April 6 to mitigate any hours missed during this period. * During the next few weeks, the Office of Human Resources, in consultation with University Administration and Emergency Management, will continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 and communicate any future adjustments impacting the workplace. Guidance for faculty and staff regarding working from home and other policies will be provided soon. Florida State will continue to closely monitor and evaluate information and guidance provided by state and federal agencies. As you know, this is a rapidly changing, dynamic situation, and we appreciate your patience as we continue to make decisions that keep our university community safe. Please check back on our website fsu.edu/coronavirus by April 5 to get the latest information in case our plan changes due to new developments or recommendations from the CDC, WHO, and the Florida Department of Health. Above all, practice good handwashing hygiene and other healthy habits, not only for your own safety, but the health and safety of others. ?

The intent has been to rely on the University?s communications as the most accurate and most up-to-date resources. To that continued end, please be diligent in reading messages coming from various offices of the institution. They provide important information for us collectively and information for different groups within our population. Courses of action have been changing, becoming more refined, as each day passes. A University workgroup was established to consider how best to support unique programs like those offered in the CFA, to address issues such as access to studio art spaces, rehearsals, dance technique classes, etc. A preliminary set of parameters was established and specifics for individual areas are being further discussed and decided by chairs and directors in consultation with my office and upper administration. As you know, classes will go online as of March 23. For two-weeks following Spring Break, we are developing alternative modes of content delivery to substitute where possible for in-person classes. The designated two-week period after Spring Break for shifting to online course delivery is to allow time for those who travel for the break to self-isolate or self-quarantine, to reduce risk of spreading the virus upon returning to campus. During this period, the University is not closed. Every effort is being made to continue normal operations of the institution. Any exceptions for specialized content will be communicated by individual departments. Effective immediately, the Carnaghi Arts Building (CAB) will be closed to students except those who are graduating and preparing for BFA and Thesis exhibitions and those students who work in Theatre Tech as part of their Graduate Assistantships. In anticipation of questions, I want to share with you some notes that I have culled from meetings and copied from other messages from key offices around campus. These notes are as follows: Up-to-date Information. A new official website was created (fsu.edu/coronavirus) which aggregates all the university?s coronavirus information, messaging, and instructions. This page is frequently updated and includes the latest official news on FSU?s response to the coronavirus and a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). Travel Restrictions. Restrictions to travel have been made for faculty, students and administrators traveling on University business and restrictions on guests coming into the University. The intention is to distance and isolate, to help prevent the spread the virus. Refer to the website and FAQs link provided earlier for specifics. Those who travel to areas of concern, international or domestic, are expected to self-isolate for two-weeks upon return or to self-quarantine if they?ve been in close contact with someone who has been diagnosed or believed to have contracted coronavirus. Faculty/Staff. University Human Resources is keeping a log of those faculty and staff who have traveled or will travel this week to an affected area (again internationally or domestically) and plan on self-isolating. HR is also keeping track of those faculty and staff who need to telecommute because they or a family member they live with is at high-risk. Faculty are directed to contact Rebecca Peterson and staff/OPS should reach out to Tracey. Thesis and dissertations. The Graduate School has reviewed the defense policy for Master?s Thesis and Doctoral Dissertation/Treatise students and is offering guidelines for conducting ?virtual defenses? in the coming weeks. Undergraduate Academics. Guidelines have been outlined to provide consistent service to our students as well as clear guidance to those involved in academic advising and advising-related interactions with students. Efforts are being made by advisors to help ensure that students register in a timely manner, including the following: * All advising offices will remain open during the two-weeks following Spring Break. The current plan is that residence halls will remain open during this period as well, and students who remain on campus (or in the Tallahassee area) during Spring Break will have the opportunity to remain on campus during the period of online instruction. * Advising offices are preparing to provide advising remotely through Zoom or other electronic means. * Students who remain on campus (or in the Tallahassee area), are expected to have the option of face-to-face advising during the online instruction period. Clearly, we are making our efforts to contend with the situation as best we can. Day-by-day new issues arise. We ask as your continued patience and flexibility as we move forward, with student health and well-being in the forefronts of our minds and actions taken. And remember, washing your hands with soap and water, overall good hygiene and practicing social distance are highly effective in helping to prevent the spread of the virus. Please be advised this weekend the Center for Disease Control (https://www.cdc.gov/) began recommending avoiding gatherings of 50 or more people. Be vigilant and be well. Sincerely, Dr. James Frazier, Dean (preferred personal pronoun he/him) Florida State University College of Fine Arts P.O.

I feel that it is likely that ALL of the students in the Department of Art will at some point need to capture and edit images or video to submit their assignments during this time. Additionally, they will likely be submitting PDF's in every one of their classes and access to the full Adobe Suite will serve especially useful for them as they optimize their files for instructors. At the very least: Students in all of the digital media courses will need access. All of the students in the BFA program will need access. All of the students in the MFA program will need access.

We do not have the capacity to monitor all of our students? travel plans so we are restricting access to those we can manage and who will require workshop access to complete their thesis projects. The managers will only allow the students listed below to use the workshops and labs via appointment. We will be contacting all the students to notify them of this decision. We wait to hear whether the university takes further action or closes but for now it is to be regarded as open. For details please contact the lab managers as there are arrangements that can be made to ensure that project work gets fired etc. Nick Parparian has offered to meet students at CAB so that he can retrieve materials for them from their studios for home working. The GA?s are expected work as normal, onsite if they haven?t traveled out of the area or remotely if they have. The Equipment Check will have very limited open hours.

We do not have the capacity to monitor all of our students? travel plans so we are restricting access to those we can manage and who will require workshop access to complete their thesis projects. The managers will only allow the students listed below to use the workshops and labs via appointment. We will be contacting all the students to notify them of this decision. We wait to hear whether the university takes further action or closes but for now it is to be regarded as open. For details please contact the lab managers as there are arrangements that can be made to ensure that project work gets fired etc. Nick Parparian has offered to meet students at CAB so that he can retrieve materials for them from their studios for home working. The GA?s are expected work as normal, onsite if they haven?t traveled out of the area or remotely if they have. The Equipment Check will have very limited open hours.

Please make sure that your plans for online teaching over 2 weeks can be transitioned to cover the remainder of the semester. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns at all and I will try to assist you or find the answers. At the Fine and Performing Arts work group today we discussed whether we will transition to P/F from letter grades. We are waiting on a directive for that. I put all your thoughts forward, thank you for sending them. Music, Film, Dance etc. all have the same questions and suggestions. One item discussed was Zoom. The issue faculty are noting is that if students are using their mobile devices they must download the app before the meeting is scheduled. Zoom are experiencing a huge surge in use and are having to build capacity to make sure the App can function. The suggestion is that you contact all of your students and ask them to download the app before your meetings are scheduled. I?m not very tech-oriented but we practiced today in the office in preparation for remote working and we hit a few snags. (Rob managed set himself against a ?remote? background to give authenticity to the meeting!). The Art Office is planning a remote working schedule; however, there will always be someone there to assist you. I will send out the schedule as soon as it finalized. Keep staying safe!

It outlines that due to the COVID-19, the University is asking for all departments to be fiscally conservative as we do not know how long this will impact operations. This means that non-essential purchases should not be made at this time. If you have any pending purchase orders for non-essential items, those should be cancelled. If you have pending orders and are awaiting their arrival, it would be best to contact the vendor to see if you are able to get tracking information so you can ensure that someone can be available when it arrives. If these items are for faculty members who are not on campus, your staff should contact the faculty member to set an appointment for pickup. At this time, all of our buildings should be locked down to outside visitors if possible. We want to ensure that all faculty and staff are safe and protected. If you should have any questions or need additional clarification, please feel free to contact the offices listed in the email below.

Essential Purchases Although it is difficult to predict how long this challenging time will persist, departments are encouraged to be fiscally prudent and conservative at this point. As possible, pending contracts and expenses should be evaluated by departmental management, and purchases deemed to be nonessential should be delayed for the time being. Existing Requisitions and Contracts In light of the recent developments with the COVID-19 pandemic, we are hoping to help you with any purchase order cancellations or changes/postponements that may be necessary. For specific information please visit https://procurement.fsu.edu/Covid19POs. Supplier Access to Campus If there is a specific need that requires a supplier to come to campus at this time, please contact Procurement Services prior to any visit. This request is especially critical for those individuals meeting the identified criteria for self-isolation. To limit social congregating, we are encouraging ?virtual? meetings (Zoom, GoTo, etc.) or teleconferences in the coming weeks. We appreciate your continuing support of the University. As more information becomes available, we will be sending updates. If you have specific questions, please feel free to reach out to your main contact in the Procurement Services. Questions and Assistance For purchase order and contract questions, including cancellations, postponements, and extensions, please contact Procurement Services at procurement at fsu.edu or x46850. For spending and carryforward spending/budget questions please contact the Budget Office at budget at fsu.edu. For questions regarding legal issues and disputes regarding contracts, please contact the Office of General Counsel at x43300. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It?s unchartered territory for most of you but I feel confident that you are all as prepared as possible. There will be hiccups along the way; maybe technology, student motivation, maybe your own motivation, issues with communication and so on. Nothing is unsolvable, please let me know how I can help you with an email to an individual or a group or just airing ideas on next steps as you proceed. If you have some tips to share with the academic team that would be awesome. I have no news yet on whether we will be grading S/U, P/F or letter-grade, I will immediately inform you when I do. There are many pluses and minuses for either or a combination of the two. University leadership are discussing this as I write. The advisors are working remotely answering all questions for students. Point them to June and Emily if they have queries on graduation timelines etc. Good luck everyone, Stephanie Stephanie James Chair, Department of Art College of Fine Arts Florida State University Tel: (850) 644-8254 Email: sljames at fsu.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Stephanie Sorry for the length of this post! I've been producing videos with students since I started our weathercasting class in 1982, and we've been streaming a live half-hour TV show at 6:00-6:30PM called "FSU Weather" for several years at YouTube.com/fsuweather. Google and YouTube are particularly helpful in learning these skills through targeted searches. Instructors and TAs can even find suggestions for teaching fine and performing arts online. YouTube has many videos on how to produce videos. Here are two good ones focused on using your smartphone to produce videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3uDn9IW2Ec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56i55S3k9LU Important points: (*) Whenever possible, keep your video device plugged in when working with video. Shooting and viewing video drains the battery. If it is not practical to run a phone from a charger, at least try to start with a fully charged phone. (*) Turn your phone so that it produces a wide video rather than a tall video. (*) The "selfie" camera on a phone is not nearly as good as the camera on the other side of the phone, so use the camera where you can't see yourself. If you don't have someone to adjust the camera's view for you, you may need to zoom out more than you would prefer to make sure that nothing is cut off. (I had to do that in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJLL7IhkaIE) (*) To use a smartphone, you will need a smartphone clamp and a tripod to hold the camera steady. At amazon.com, he "Vastar Universal Smartphone Tripod Adapter" looks like a good choice. (I bought something similar a few years ago.) If you can "set and forget" the tripod, you can get by with a very inexpensive tripod. One possibility at amazon.com is "AmazonBasics Lightweight Camera Mount Tripod Stand With Bag - 16.5 - 50 Inches." (A reviewer suggests setting each leg section at least an inch shorter than the maximum extension to increase stability greatly.) I own two tripods. I use a cheap, lightweight one when I can set the tripod in a single, unchanging position. I use a much heavier metal tripod with a smoothly moving head when I have to change the camera's field of view while shooting video. I do not know whether the AmazonBassics tripod has a sufficiently fluid head to allow for changing the direction in which the tripod is pointed while shooting video. Someone from the FSU "film school" may be able to recommend a student-affordable tripod that is better than "set and forget." (*) While many people on YouTube mention table-top tripods, I need a much taller tripod when I record music performances. There is rarely a good place to put a table-top tripod where I record. (*) You need to be close to the microphone when recording speech, so a separate microphone may advisable in some cases, but the built-in microphone in my Samsung smartphone has been fine for recording violin, viola, flute, and singing. (I haven't tried brass instruments or percussion. I've heard that Prof. John Parks in the Music Dept is an expert at recording percussion, which is much more difficult than what I do.) Separate microphones come in various styles: lavalier mikes to be clipped to clothing, directional shotgun mikes to mount near the camera (e.g., the TAKSTAR SGC-598 at amazon.com with an adapter: https://www.quora.com/Can-I-use-a-mic-meant-for-a-DSLR-and-use-it-on-my-phone-with-an-adapter-SGC-598), etc. (*) Don't shoot video with a window behind you. During daytime, the camera's auto exposure makes people look too dark. At night, the window acts as a mirror, and you see everything behind the camera.) When getting started shooting video, students need considerable encouragement with few negative comments. Students in the fine and performing arts have spent years becoming good at their craft. When they begin shooting video, they are beginners. They know it, and they can see it. I remind my students that "Third time's the charm" means that the first few times usually aren't good for anybody, but you have to do the first time before the second, etc. I'm a firm believer in the work of several educational psychologists: FSU's Anders Ericsson ("deliberate practice"), Carol Dweck ("growth mindset"), and Brene Brown (which I summarize using Teddy Roosevelt's "Man in the Arena" speech (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizenship_in_a_Republic), which I further summarize using Martin Luther's statement from 152, "Sin boldly," i.e., don't be afraid to make mistakes.) I also mention what automobile executive superstar Lee Iacocca said when he was saving Chrysler from bankruptcy in the late 1970s and early 1980s: "So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw up, start over. Try something else." It is easy for students to post videos to YouTube. I won't repeat what they can watch online about how to do this. I'll only add a few comments from my experience: (*) Upload the full video to YouTube and edit it there using YouTube's online editing tools rather than using a video editor on your computer. Sometimes I have had trouble deciding just how much time I want at the beginning and end surrounding the "content" portion of a video. If I edit with YouTube's tools, it is quick and easy to change that. If I edit the video with tools on my computer and I want more time at the beginning or end of my video, I have to delete my first YouTube post and upload a new entry. YouTube will not let you replace a video within a given post. (*) Students can post videos with "unlisted" access so that anyone with the video's YouTube address can watch the video (the instructor, other students, family, and friends), but the video cannot be found by a search at YouTube. (A YouTube ?private? video is even more restricted.) (*) If students do post "public" videos that can be found by searches, I recommend turning off comments and suppressing the number of likes and dislikes. Otherwise, some people may write unjustified, mean comments.

Dear Faculty, Please see the letter sent to students today regarding changes to the undergraduate grading policy for the 2020 spring semester. We also have posted Faculty Guidance on S/U Grading Option for Spring 2020 for your reference. ________________________________ Dear Students, This is an unprecedented time in Florida State University?s history as the entire campus has moved to remote learning, and we realize this may be a difficult adjustment for some students. In response, FSU has modified its undergraduate grading policy for the 2020 spring semester. * Undergraduate courses that now use letter grades will continue to use letter grades. However, students may individually opt to receive a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) grade for eligible courses rather than a letter grade. * Students enrolled in undergraduate courses may request S/U in eligible courses beginning at 9 a.m. ET Monday, March 30. All requests for the S/U option must be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. ET Sunday, April 12. Students are strongly encouraged to review the Student Information Guide on S/U to understand the implications of their choice should they choose to switch from letter grades to S/U grades. The students who request the S/U option will be informed how their choice may affect financial aid, progress toward degree, etc. Academic advisors also can help students in the decision-making process should students have additional questions. * Students may select to change one or all of the eligible undergraduate classes in which they are enrolled. There is no requirement that students change any course if they wish to continue receiving a letter grade for any or all of their eligible undergraduate classes. * To be clear, students may not opt for S/U status after 11:59 p.m. ET Sunday, April 12. * Beginning March 30, students should consult their instructors as to what would constitute an ?S? or ?U? in each class. It may be different. * The grading policy for graduate courses will not change. All graduate courses will receive letter grades. * Students in professional programs should check with their respective colleges for any grading policy changes. To request S/U in classes that use letter grades, see instructions on How to Change Letter Grades to S/U Grades. For more detailed information and FAQ, visit the Student Information Guide on S/U.

It is unclear at this time the exact impact that this will have on our overall budgeting process; therefore, it is essential that we are as prudent as possible in spending. There are many unknowns that could have a negative impact on the University?s overall budget. To this end, please hold your purchases to only essential items. This is not the time to make nonessential purchases, and we appreciate everyone?s cooperation. Below are some recommendations that we would like everyone to follow until we get through this process. Can we spend carryforward dollars at this time? We are recommending strong discouragement of carryforward expenditures at this time. In light of significant uncertainties in the coming months, we are working hard to accumulate our resources in order to sustain University operations for the long-term. To this end, please hold your purchases to only essential items. If anyone has any questions relating to if a purchase qualifies as an essential expense, please contact Art Office and we will find answers for you.
