The Work of Czesław Niemen 3106-NIEMEN-F
The course introduces the music of Czesław Niemen to the academic programme. As this is a relatively new theme (popular music has only recently come under the scope of interest in musicology), no previous course is required before registering for the class. A history of rock music class would certainly be helpful, but it is not necessary to take this course. It is also not necessary to be able to read sheet music or play an instrument. The phenomenon of Czesław Niemen's music will be considered mainly from a cultural, literary and anthropological context.

Learning outcomes
The students acquire an understanding of most important periods in Niemen's musical career, knowledge of his biographic details, co-musicians, full discography and his musical aesthetics.
Assessment criteria
The final grade for the course is awarded on the basis of the scores obtained in the written test and the listening test, which will consist of a selection of Czesław Niemen's works from different periods of his activity (from the list provided earlier, the student will have to indicate the titles of 10 presented works and the albums from which they come). A score of over 60% in both elements combined is required to achieve a final mark.
One absence is allowed, regardless of the reason. Overtime absences (up to a maximum of 3 absences) can be credited with additional written work/ minor written work on a topic indicated by the instructor.
In the case of long-term absences due to documented health problems, it is possible to increase the limit of absences and overtime absences that can be credited with additional work.
