Seating is available for students in other departments and degrees who are encouraged to enroll.
Course Format: Formal classroom lectures. There are three field trips (two are mandatory). All exams are multi-choices.
Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, learners will be able to identify the clothing and appearance of individuals from the time periods and cultures presented. Using proper vocabulary, the learner will be able to name different garments, accessories and styles, describe their use, recognize their components and explain their place in the culture from which they emerged.
Required Reading:
Phyllis G. Tortora and Sara B. Marcketti, Survey of Historic Costume, 7th ed. (New York: Fairchild Books, 2021).
The 7th edition of this textbook is available in paperback and as an eBook (the latter for purchase or rent).
The studio component to this textbook are not part of the required reading.
eClass: Learners may find some materials on eClass but, under normal circumstances when classes are conducted in-person, rarely are entire lectures posted there because of copyright issues due to the multiple visuals used in PowerPoints. If a person is absent, it is recommended that he/she/they ask a fellow student to share their notes. If a lecture is not made available (eClass or Zoom), the instructor will not share her notes.
II. DISTRIBUTION OF WEIGHT FOR EXAMS
Exams: Unless circumstances require otherwise, there will be 4 multiple-choices exams that represent 100% of your final grade:
TEST 1: Preface to end of 13th century (20%): January 24 TEST 3: 1700 to 1920 (25%): March 14
TEST 2: 14th century to 1700 (25%): February 14 TEST 4: 1920 to now (30%): Monday April 25, 2-5 pm
Missed Exams: A student who cannot write any of the first three exams at the scheduled dates cannot do so at a later date. The student may apply for an excused absence to have the percentage weight allotted to the missed exam(s) added to the percentage weight allotted to the final exam. As noted in the Office of Registrar Policy “Students should contact the instructor as soon as they are able, having regard to the circumstances. If a student fails to notify an instructor within a reasonable time of their request for an excused absence, the instructor may deny the request unless the student provides a legitimate reason for the delay.” Excused absences are not automatic and are granted at the discretion of the instructor (in the case of the first three exams) or the student’s Faculty (in the case of the final exam). Acceptable reasons for an excused absence may include illness, domestic affliction, bereavement and religious conviction. Unacceptable reasons include vacations, travel arrangements and weddings. The University policy on deferred exams can be found in Section 23.3.2 of the University Calendar.

Access to Representative Evaluative Material: In concordance with the Access to Evaluative Material Procedure of the Assessment Policy, students will be given access to representative evaluative course material at 9 am, upon the beginning of most in-person classes. They will be presented with a sample exam question at this time to help them prepare for tests. This will help them assess their comprehension of the previous class and the reading that pertained to it. It will also help the instructor understand what the students retained. Different types of multiple-choice questions will be used that will enable students to be better prepared for the exams. During the mandatory treasure hunt of the Anne Lambert Clothing and Textiles Collection, printed and representative evaluative materials will also made available to help students with the final exam.
Marking and Grading: At the end of the term, a student’s numbered grades (raw scores) for all examinations will be given the percentage weight assigned to each test. The accumulated number will be converted into a letter grading system with a four-point scale of numerical equivalents for calculating grade point averages.
