Channings classes are cake. Show up, do the work, and you're set. He's more than willing to give extra help if you need it, and his style of instruction is not only laid back and relaxed, but it keeps the class fun and interesting. His passion and knowledge of the subject matter really shine through and add a lot to the class. My only regret is that there is so much to cover, that certain styles of the music are not gone into with enough depth.

So this teacher will tell you that he likes all music, but that's not true. He is very biased. Useless work. Only one dumb jam session. Spends first 2 months on instruction stuff. Spends 5 classes on music he loves. Very boring class. You watch boring long videos. He is nice but still a very boring class. He thinks he knows everything.

Just do the assignments and you'll pass. He's been teaching for a while and he knows what he's teaching. Assignments are minimal and its a guarantee B if you show up and do the work which is barley any. I took his night class which is 3 hrs and I enjoyed listening to him rather than his videos and so I would take again he's really interesting.

He is very passionate about this subject and cares for the students. By the end of this class u will be very inspired and have a different outlook on music. He relates the lecture to everyday life and current issues. Take him if u want to actually learn something valuable but at the same time be a chill class.

Ace the midterm and you don't have to do the research project. NO BOOK!!! Attendance is a must. Show up every week, take care of your homework and study lecture notes and you'll ace the class.

Prof Booth is amazing. He is an amazing musician, super knowledge, and great teacher. This class consists grade wise of 1-2 papers, class note quizzes, a midterm and final. The only homework is to attend 3 concerts during the semester. As long as you show up and take notes you will do fine. The class consists of him lecturing and watching videos.

He wasn't really a good professor for me. He told us in the beginning we wouldn't have a midterm or final but then midterm week he gave out one and it wasn't really hard but just lots of busy work. He also is kinda inappropriate in lectures and can get off topic. Overall if you are looking for an easy A take this class.

Class is fine, its a basic intro to world music. Mandatory notes every day, if you miss 3 or more days you have to take the final w/out notes. He's kind of pompous and gets off topic, talks more about himself than the course material, sometimes says offensive things that have no context to the coursework or music. Its annoying but class is easy A.

Enter class>Lecture begins>Take notes> Leave. The information is basic but you will learn some facts about other cultures. Some days he will put up a National Geographic video for the class to watch for the entire duration. It is boring & the professor is generously given 4/5 stars. You will need to spend roughly $20 to visit museums and concerts.

I took him for 109 and 100. Great professor ever! The only thing that needs you to study for is the midterm, other than that if you have less than 3 absences the entry/exit exam can be done from home and hand it in as homework. And show effort in notes and one research paper, which is super easy! I would definitely take him again if I could:)

The program feels outdated and disorganized, like it's stuck in the past. The professor dismisses anything modern (autotune, electronic music) and treats students like they're beneath him. It's hard to learn when the vibe is arrogant, condescending, and allergic to anything post-1985. What's worse is the professor's attitude toward innovation.
