She is super cute and funny. She is super flexible and you can pass this class no problem as long as you do the work.

I was really not interested in the class, but Dr. Clayton made it at least bearable. I would say the tests are pretty hard if you're not familiar with music. Lots of names of people but if you need clarification she is definitely there to give it to you. It was the first time it was taught, so it can only get better and she did a great job.

This class is a gem; go to class, pay attention, learn about the world, and get an A. She brings musicians to class occasionally, which is fun. She's the happiest professor I've ever had, always laughing and giggling; very pleasant. Her late-work policy is outrageously flexible; basically, if it's in by the end of the semester, you're golden.

Dr. Clayton is a wonderful, caring, and attentive teacher! I learned much more than I expected about world cultures through taking MUSC 3600. She explains concepts in a very clear, easy to understand/approach way. Attendance is not mandatory, but I went every time because I got so much out of her lectures! She is also easy to work with!!!

Easy A. There were 3 essays assigned throughout the semester but, as long as you don't plagiarize and meet the minimum requirements, she'll give you 100%. Chapter quizzes every week but you can do them as many times as you need except for movie quizzes, but most of the answers are online.

She's the happiest professor I've ever met; always smiling and happy! Late-work policy is amazing, have it in by the end of the semester and you're good! She brings in musicians occasionally & tries to make class interesting. Tests are easy as long as you study the review. Hardly ever used the textbook, but you do need the CD's for listening.

Three tests total with a few assignments each week. Taking it online I thought was really easy and manageable. Clayton is great at laying out exactly what you're supposed to do. If you read the textbook, it actually helps even though it's bland. She gives you a review sheet for each midterm that is GOLD. Review those concepts and you're good to go.

Cathryn is the best professor you will encounter at the U. If you want an easy A take it with her. Listening portion on the exam was the only part i did not like in her exams.

I took the class online and there were discussion posts almost every week, but they were easy. Lots of quizzes, but they're all simple. Really easy grader- I got 100 on every assignment. However, the tests were really hard. I would study for 2 weeks in advance, yet the highest test grade I got was a 76. If you're a good test taker, its a good class

Prof Clayton is great. I took her class online. She encourages questions and provides lots of practice. Definitely recommend. She uses this outdated online CD things as a textbook. IDK. It wasn't very compatible with my computer. The songs wouldn't play and some functions didn't work. BUT she provided enough instructional material it was fine.

Professor Clayton is great! Although this subject was totally new to me, she made the class not so hard. I also had technical issues and she was so understanding. I would recommend.

I loved Cathryn. She's very generous and lenient with due dates, and I truly enjoyed her lectures.

I took this class online and I loved it. Professor Clayton lines out exactly what you need to do and when you need to do it. Straightforward class. I learned new things even though I've been playing piano for 13 years. I would recommend this class to anyone who still needs to fulfill a GenEd requirement.

Class was Easy. You don't really have to show up to class, just study the study guides she provides for the 2 midterms and final and you will be fine. Do the other small assignments in class and don't miss the easy points. Don't waste your money on the book, you won't use it. If you do attend class, she makes it fairly interesting

Cathryn is so adorable. She cares about her students and music. her class is so easy. just attend her review sessions a class time before the exam and she goes over her exam review materials. study off of that and you're solid. no need to attend class or read the textbook.

Took online survey of jazz to fulfill the FF requirement. The class has weekly assignments and quizzes with three tests. Studying for these tests is a must! If you complete the quizzes, and the study guide she gives you, you'll do fine. Prof Clayton gives extra credit and was easy to reach with questions.

Doctor Clayton is nice. She does a great job at making this class interesting. She brings in a few guest lecturers and instruments from around the world. Her tests are mainly multiple choice, a few listening, and a couple free response. If you attend the lecture before the test, she usually goes over everything that you need to know for the test.

I love her online courses! So organized, so I never have to guess what's coming up next. And I can always work ahead if I know I'm going to be busy. You get unlimited tries on quizzes. The papers are short and pretty straightforward. Just use her study guide for the exams and you'll do fine. Would recommend 1000% if you need a FF, DV, or IR credit.

Nice professor, is really passionate about music. I'm not a music major, so the class was sometimes boring for me. But she prepares you for exams.

This online class is very simple if you have a music background. If not, you will have to put in some effort. Once a week there is an assignment, but you only have to say you did it, and then a simple online quiz that can be taken as many times as needed. She is very helpful and will answer whatever questions you have.

Dr. Clayton is AMAZING!!! Her classes are super organized, and pretty easy. There's one basic quiz and assignment each week. She will give you tons of help, and is EXTREMELY lenient. There's no penalty for turning things in late, so there's no stress about deadlines. Would totally recommend her as a professor.

I took Music 1010 for the summer for a fine arts credit. No complaints. Fair grading, just make sure you study for the midterms. The class isn't too hard as long as you study. The study guides are useful for prepping for midterms.

Good class. Lots of videos to watch. The technical stuff was hard for me to grasp. Workload wasn't too heavy. Grading was fast, which I appreciated.

The tests for the class are easy if you put some time in to studying, follow the study guide and use the flashcards and you should be fine. There are quizzes for every chapter, but they're not hard. Only a few papers, not graded harshly. If you email her, it may take some time, but she'll get back to you with a good response.

I took this class for my music minor thinking it would be an easy A class. It was for the most part; there were only a few assignments to work on at home, and attendance wasn't mandatory, but the tests really killed me! They are SO HARD! I got 100% on every assignment but I did terribly on the tests and even the extra credit didn't help a ton.

Fantastic class, fantastic professor!!!

This class was fun and interesting. Probably the best class you could take for the IR and Fine Arts requirement. She had fair tests if you at least cram an hour or two but if you didn't have the energy the extra credit or two will save the day.

She's not a bad teacher, but she didn't really do much, then again it's an online class. She's available and has a TA and they explain things well. I have a music background so the class was extremely easy, but if you're completely new there are probably some topics that'll be iffy. The tests are scheduled and taken in person on paper.

While this is just Intro to Music Theory, you can tell that Professor Clayton cares a lot about what she's teaching and who she's teaching. The textbook integration of the material is done well, and her supplemental online lectures are clear and easy to understand.

Really sweet woman. Understands that her class is a "Gen Ed." class so makes it genuinely interesting and fun. Really good study guides that prepare for the test too. You can skip a good amount of classes but I liked the class enough that I actually wanted to go.

Really easy class, especially if you already know a bit about music. The last part was tough for me because I didn't know any of the material, but I figured it out okay. You can retake all of the quizzes and homework until you get 100%, so you can get an A+ if you put in a little extra time.

If you show up to her class and actually listen, you will pass. The tests are usually 50 questions and are multiple-choice. They probably take about 15min to take. There are only 4-6 homework disscussions and they're pretty easy. Dr. Clayton is very nice and quirky. She doesn't dock you points if you turn a discussion in late. Overall good class.

Dr. Clayton was awesome. This course satisfied my International Requirement for the University of Utah. There is an online textbook for this course. It's really fascinating. If you study hard and read the book, you'll be just fine. Her class is structured well and quite reasonable. I highly recommend taking this class from her.

Professor Clayton's online class (MUSC 1460) was relatively easy for someone with a music background. If you have no musical experience, prepare for a lot of textbook reading and studying. Professor Clayton is always willing to help out if you ask. You have unlimited redos on all homework and quizzes, and the test questions come from the quizzes.

I really enjoyed this class. Every assignment is a quiz and you can do it over as much as you want until you get a good grade on them. Prof. Clayton was very nice, willing to work with you and answer questions. The material is very organized and presented well.

This class was taken for my international requirement, but it was a fantastic class to take, especially because I was interested in music. The textbook is a must when doing the assignments and quizzes, and the exams required a fair amount of studying.

Honestly if you have to take this class it sucks the tests were ridiculously hard. I took it online so in class will probably be a ton easier.

There are weekly quizzes but they are based on the homework and on the chapter quizzes you are allowed unlimited attempts. If you don't like music you probably won't enjoy this class but passing it with an A will still come easy.

Class is fairly easy, especially if you enjoy some aspect of music or want to learn. Its basically teach yourself which can be a downside but there are some lecture videos which are very helpful. If you work ahead you can finish the course really fast and get it done with. Learned a lot to add to my musical knowledge.

The course structure is simple. read the book chapters, take the short quizzes, and then do a final chapter quiz. midterm & final exams are not hard if you do the work. i didnt even study! she lets you turn in the assignments on your own time with flexible deadlines. responsive. gives her own lectures for difficult sections in the book!

Lots of weekly quizzes based off of reading. The assignments are pretty repetitive and there are a lot of them but they aren't too hard. The professor is very nice and willing to open tests early to accommodate schedule issues!

This class is fairly easy, but I have a background in music and wouldn't recommend it unless you do too. There's a lot of information you have to learn about music history so if you're just trying to get an easy credit I wouldn't take this class. Lots of quizzes every week plus inquisitive. Good for a summer course but not for fall or spring.

one of the best teachers ive had. though theres homework due each week u have unlimited attempts and can find answers easily. same each week so you know what to do. took two classes with this teacher and would recommend to anyone for gen eds. always willing to make accomodations if something happens in your life and is so understanding.

There are lots of quizzes but you have unlimited retakes so it's no stress. There are three exams, collectively worth half of your grade. There are study guides made for each of these with precisely what will be on the exam. There are also three short essays, two concert reports, and one term paper, all of which are very easy.

Lengthy class with a dry textbook. Mostly a self-taught class, but structured in a way that's manageable for sure. Easy credit so long as you study a bit.

Easy class for those who have experience with musical instruments. Mostly self-taught, but her videos are very helpful. Fun composition projects as well. Would recommend it, especially if you play an instrument or are interested in composition.

Very easy and the course does teach you some stuff about music theory. The program that they used for quizzes and assignments I did not like because you had to drag and drop.

The online course allowed you to do assignments and quizzes as often as you wanted before the due date, so getting a 100% on everything is easy. The exams you can only take once, so it's best you understand the material before taking them, but they weren't too difficult.

Dr. Clayton is very caring and enthusiastic about world music. Exams are 50 questions with mostly multiple choice questions. Her exam review guides will be the most important resource for an easy A. There are a few papers; however, they're easy to complete. Discussion and quizzes take 20 minutes max. Easy class for IR and FF requirements.

I think Prof. Clayton does a really good job at communicating very well with her students. If you end up missing a day, she'll zoom her lectures so you don't get behind on anything. She's also very flexible at giving you a make up day if you miss an exam and will let you redo assignments if necessary.

Prof. Clayton is a good and kind professor, I just do not find the material that interesting. Class is graded on a few < 30 minute discussion posts, 3 short papers, and 3 exams. Attendance is not mandatory and generally this class is super easy, just study for the test with the terms she provides and read the short textbook chapters. Easy class.

I took MUSC 1250 online, and the teacher is fantastic. The class was tough at first for a 1000-level course, with easy assignments but hard tests. After we gave her feedback during the semester, she posted review zoom recordings for the tests and made the last two tests easier. Overall, I'd recommend the class now that the difficulty was improved.

(previously 3600) I ended up finding this class extremely interesting despite my initial hesitancy! Assignments included chapter quizzes, a couple papers, some discussion posts and 3 tests all of which were fairly easy if you show up to class. Tests were a little difficult but very easy if you consistently go to class and prepare beforehand.

Took intro to music theory online. Was simple enough, just about what I expected from an online course in that it was not too engaging or difficult.

The class itself is really dry, but that's mainly the textbook's fault. For her part, her lecture videos were actually rather informative, and helped clarify the textbook content and boil things down to the important concepts. She's a really nice person, and she's passionate about the subject.

This class is very easy. The tests are all memorization, but if you just do the reviews you should be able to to get above 90%. She's very generous grading papers so just do all of the assignments and an A is gaurenteed.

Cathryn is a good professor. The class itself isn't too hard besides the 3 exams.
