This class was just amazing. There are no test at all. All you have to do is show up and take the daily written assignments which are short and easy(it's all electronic). Also the class is 50/50 lecture and the rest discussing a question to a partner. Also fridays where devoted to groups. If you show up and do the quizzes easy A.

This class is a waste of time. You have to go everyday in order to do in-class writing assignments, but the lectures are almost never what you need to know for the quiz at the end of each week. You have to read about 3 chapters a week for this class. The only plus side to this class is no tests, but there are two essays and weekly quizzes.

The teacher herself isn't bad, but the class is extremely boring. However, there are in-class assignments so you have to go to the class even though the material covered doesn't help on the quizzes seeing as all the answers are in the book. If you don't care about it being boring though, this class is an easy A and there's lots of extra credit.

You have to buy a TopHat subscription but it adds a cool aspect to the class, I wish more professors used it. There is a lot of reading but most of it is pretty interesting if you're really into music, especially classical. Also take notes from the powerpoints. That is where most of the quiz questions come from. Write fast because she talks fast.

A great professor, although I felt like she would sometimes think her class was above all with the heavy textbook readings. You will require to purchase an access code for the class, the textbook is (kind) optional if you seek out for help (you can rent it or find materials online). Attendance required.

Meh. She made us get two textbooks and purchase a $25 textbook subscription (along with other blog readings). You constantly have to stay on top of online discussion questions, which gets annoying. Easy class, but requires a LOT of participation. Grading criteria is unclear and content of class is kind of a joke (eg. "music has no meaning").

Professor Prince is very knowledgeable and obviously cares a lot about music. The class is made up of 3 major papers (roughly 4-5 pages each), weekly discussions, and biweekly music analyses (1-2 pages). The class is not hard, do not let the amount of writing deter you.
