Great class!!! I enjoyed it and learned while studing a fun subject. I had no interest in the class before I only took it because it was the only online class available. It was completely enjoyable.
Interesting, easy to read text book, with great use of online tools, to listen to samples of the music you are reading about. Easy class if you do the work, tests are open book but timed. Does not allow for you to fall behind as you have deadlines every Sunday.
BEWARE!DON'T TAKE THIS TEACHER!Claims to grade on a curve,but doesn't.Doesn't like to answer any questions about class.I'm a 40 year old nursing student w/4.0 gpa. I think I know when I've been had!P.S.you only get 50 minutes to take a 50 question test and you don't get to know what you got wrong. No way to know if the teacher is grading correctly!
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!! This teacher grades on a curve no one has ever seen before!! I earned a B in the class and he gave me a C and refuses to change it because of his so called "curve!"
i can guarantee that you will not get the grade that you want unless you get 100% on everything that you do. i was supposed to get a B because that is what my grade calculated out to be, but i ended up with a C because he graded on a curve. when a teacher grades on a curve, isnt it supposed to help your grade and not bring it down? t
THIS CLASS IS VERY EASY AND HE DOES GRADE ON A CURVE, BUT IF YOU DON'T ATTEND A CONCERT PERFORMANCE HE WILL KNOCK DOWN YOUR GRADE ONE WHOLE LETTER.
Nice guy. Kinda funny. EXTREMELY BORING CLASS. I like his grading scale. cant score lower than a "c" on his tests! wouldnt recommend the class
Many students thought he was evasive and avoided questions. At first I was guilty of that. But in the end,I learned alot about music and myself as a older student. Thank you Mr. Yankee Even with the learning curve I got an A
best teacher ever i thimk everyone should take him he is a great teacher and i would recomend him to everyone who wants an easy A+
Although I did not have a high level of interest in this class before attending, I enjoyed the class. Mr. Yankee was entertaining, not to mention that he understands most people aren't taking the course out of interest in the subject, but because it is an IGETC requirement. He grades on a curve, 4 exams, one concert attendance, no homework.
Absolutely loved this class. It was really fun and I learned alot.
Good class, Great professor,seems like a nice guy and is very helpful. Very understanding to thous that don't like music. I took it online summer 2010 and you have to read the book. The quizzes and test are open book but timed (so that makes it harder). You have one performance assignment but it's not that difficult. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CLASS!!
I enjoyed this class overall. Easy open book tests but I would study b4 hand because its a timed test. Super laid back about most due dates. Funny, interesting, and a great guy. Would definitely take another class with him.
Great teacher
Took this class online. Not an understanding teacher. Doesn't tell you what answers are right or wrong on tests. Tests are difficult. Must read the text. I taught myself, not much help from the teacher. I don't recommend this class or instructor.
Took this class as a six-week online course and loved it! You totally have to read the text and put effort into the 3 discussion posts but it interesting and not hard. You can tell he doesn't have a lot of patience for people that don't follow directions but seemed like a nice guy. I recommend this class!
Very good teacher for online class. You have to read the book and tests come out of the book only. Do not skip any assignments or your grade will drop, and there was no extra credit. I did all the assignments and did well on the tests and got an A.
Online, fast track Appreciation of American Music. Discussion Boards assignments were interesting, but confusing at first. He asked us to attribute scholarly sources for popular music, when the subject was all based on opinion. Tests were easy, as long you read the book and took notes on anything in bold font. Listen to all the music in the book!
He runs on a very bad schedule for online classes. Homework and tests become open on Monday morning and must be completed by Friday at midnight, NO WEEKEND WORK ALLOWED. So if youre going to campus classes full time and working M-F 50 hours a week forget about it. Wish he would have provided this very inconvenient information before hand.
Tests are very difficult, you must read the text and sometimes the questions are not from the book. The questions he asks on tests are on very small details in the book, which makes studying stressful. Other than that, he is a good professor, not too strict on his homework assignment grading.
This Music class was so easy (online) it was almost boring. He was very helpful and positive. He did not make me feel stupid when asking questions. It was an easy A+
Online hybrid class, 3 chapters wk. online test are 60 mins for 54 quest, can't go back, parts is listening to mus, not enough time. Questions on the test aren't clear from the book. Written papers question aren't clear questions. Main paper you have to go to a concert, can't be at a bar. Work has to be completed Mon thru Friday only, no weekend.
Yankee is a great professor! The assignments were all really fun and he is very lenient with grading.
great professor, great class if you want to learn about music business, he actually has a background in it.
Lazy professor, built the entire curriculum around multiple-choice quizzes (auto-graded) and excessive responses to discussion boards. Lacks clear feedback on what he expects from discussion posts. Ultimately an easy class due to it being purely based on quizzes, but if you are truly interested in learning the subject matter look elsewhere.
There's a quiz for each chapter in the book and a discussion for each unit. Allows assignments to be turned in past the due date. There are no video lectures, it's strictly you reading from the text, so if you're not into that you probably shouldn't take his class. Music is in the text and he also posts some videos of songs.
Nice guy, tough grader. Mandatory daily reading & quiz - not a real "online anytime" course. No ability to work ahead/on your own weekly schedule. Unrealistic workload. Tedious discussion board requirements-5 posts min. Too fast paced to absorb the material. Wouldn't recommend if you have a hectic schedule.
Although I didn't interact with Professor Yankee as much, the course was very enlightening. There are multiple pop quizzes throughout the week, 2-3 at times, along with DB's and HW assignments. Overall, the course requires peer interaction and a lot of participation. He's accessible outside of class & very understanding. I took this during summer.
The class was super easy if you just go over the millions of sheets of papers, he has you read. Discussions can be interesting to actually want to participate in!
8 week course, consisted of 26 quizzes (easy as hell), and 5 discussions. Easy A.
Professor is a transformational leader!! Made my life so much easier and completed me! I appreciate his hard work and dedication. I also appreciate his wonderful help and amazing time! Super supportive and accepting!! I will definitely take his class again!! A blessing and amazing experience!!
Professor is super flexible and offers lots of plenty of extra credit points! Everything was simple and easy which was beyond helpful to me, since I have other classes that I needed to take. Easy A! Wonderful and incredible experience taking him and his class. I will definitely take his class again if I can!! Awesome!
Bittersweet and okay.
In the middle.
Relatively easy but hard at the same time. Professor was good but also bad. Harsh grader on discussions but easy grader on quizzes. Multiple choice questions only. Research about it. Better than most professors.

Professor Yankee was very clear and concise about the expectations of the 8 week course. I would sometimes submit my quizzes (due at 11:59) a little bit late and he would still accept them and grade them and I could still get full credit. This course has a few discussion boards and they can be a pain but aren't too bad if you know the topic well.
Best professor ever. Easy A.
Awesome and amazing!
Awesome and amazing!:)
It's fine if you are able to stay on top of homework/reading on a daily basis. The worst part is the required discussion posts.They're about 3 paragraphs long, he makes you cite and be specific. He also doesn't grade them easy.He requires at least 4 replies to other students which is annoying and pointless, takes the replies seriously for grading.
He is a good teacher and passionate about music. Everything is clear and straightforward. The assignments are unlocked on the day of their due date but it is manageable. Just get ready to write a lot of discussion posts.
Truly the best professor I have ever met!
Absolutely incredible and friendly.
A man of his words. Honest, kind, respectful, classy, trustworthy, and loyal. I would definitely take him again, if i can.
Easy grader and is helpful.
Alan is reasonable and credible. Professor is incredible and talented. Totally take him again!
Would take again and totally recommend him! Awesome!
Very helpful and caring. Amazing!
very helpful and I enjoyed his class! He is an easy grader and talented
