Teoría

Register at teoria.com and work on rhythmic dictation exercises for at least 15 minutes.
Registration instructions are here. Be sure to register using the first and last name (in that order) that you use in class.

Once registered and signed in, do at least 15 minutes of rhythmic dictation. You can navigate Exercises -> Rhythmic Dictation (in the left-hand column) or click this link to go straight to the dictation exercise with the options set up at the appropriate beginning level. The desired options also appear in the screenshot at the bottom of this page.

For this assignment you are free to experiment with the exercise options, as long as you work a total of at least 15 minutes. When finished, be sure select End Exercise and then Save Score, or your results will not be reported to me.

Clicking on the Help menu from within the Rhythmic Dictation pages will tell you everything you need to know to navigate the exercise. Do the best you can, but the only requirement at this point is to work for 15 minutes, regardless of your results.
