Funny guy, good teacher. Great, easy class to take.

Seems to lack the skills necessary to be an effective teacher.

if you fail this class you must be retarded. There is more extra credit in this class than you can possibly imagine. there is probably more extra credit than actual points in the class. Plus hes a very funny guy

Fun teacher, Tests are hard, Tons of extra credit, Final is an oral presentation

He is really cool. Made the class really entertaining. Gives out lots of extra credit. Read the book, take notes and I'm sure you will get an A.

SO EASY!

OMG what are these people talking about? He makes the class so fun. The tests are only hard if you don't take notes and fully read his study guide. Plus, he offers lots of extra credit concerts! This is the EASIEST class ever. I got an A.

i liked his class. i thought it was easy, and he makes things fun. i got an A as well.

kind of uptight sometimes for a guy with long hippie hair

This guy is hilarious. I had a great time with him as a teacher. The highlight of the class was when he scuttled up to the back of a gong and screamed into it for absolutely no reason. I would take a class, just to have him teaching.

Doesn't matter if you take Flood, Warman, or Yeager; they all take turns teaching the class every 5 weeks. At the end of every 5 weeks there is a midterm. Each midterm covers a different area of music. The second segment with Yeager is all online, very easy. Go to concerts and attend class, easy A.

very interesting! pretty easy! you dont have to go to class for 5 of the 15 weeks!!! i got a B without trying.

This class is really easy. You have to go to the classes to get the notes to use for the tests. Cancels class for 5 weeks. I got an A. The only thing that sucks is the concerts so just a little **** or high 1st, or make the pledges go. Flood is cooky but cool.

Fantastic! Excellent teacher! The best class I've ever had! Give the man a raise! Now!

eliquent teacher

JOHN ROCKS! he is the best teacher ever.. so laid back and such an easy class.. he loves music teaching music so much that u have to like the class. he offers as many extra credit reports as u wnat.. so garunteed an A. great class take him if u can

Easy A. Go to concerts and take advantage of the extra credit ones. They really help your grade. They are very boring but worth a lot. The tests aren't that hard either. The teachers switch every 6 weeks so you dont get bored.

Flood is awesome. Easy class, easy teacher.....he's great.

Great time, patient, and well informed

Great class, easy A. 5 weeks is online and there is a new teacher every 5 weeks. Ummmmm.... yeah it's a really fun class. EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE IT!

He's a funny guy tries to have fun, but he's all over the place. The tests are a little hard, you really have to take notes on the lectures. Overall not to bad, good GE course, and 90% of the concerts really are interesting

The concerts are boring, but they're not that long. Go to class, take notes, and you should do fine on the tests. There are only three tests and 1 paper. You don't have to go to class for 5 weeks because it's all online. That's the best part.

He's way fun and funny..but the stuff he teaches is RANDOM. You have to go to class...cause if you get notes form a friend..they wont make sense to you. But class is fun, just alittle unorganized. 3 Tests, 1 concert report.

John Flood is a funny guy. The subject matter was interesting, but watching videos all the time became kind of monotonous. John Flood spiced it up with his humor though. He was very helpful. Go to the lectures and READ THE BOOK. The concerts are fun too if you are interested in the course material.

great teacher. make sure you go to him after tests and re-check your test answers w/ him b/c the machines/ta's are always accurate. i got 10 more points on my final for going in. he's a really interesting guy, fun class, easy tests. make sure you read some of the book bc those are the questions everyone gets wrong.

Great class.I wasn't interested in world music before this class but Prof. Flood made it very interesting.He tied in music to culture and history without being boring. Don't miss class ever or you will regret it on the test,buy the book.You may pass without it but not as easily or as high a grade.ASK questions! Great insites from his travels.

GREAT GUY!! He is a rocker from the 70's and looks the part. Knows ALOT about music and will do anything to help you get a good grade. Use imagination on your final presentation and pay attention in class (or read the chapters) and there will be no problems getting an A.

Class was definitely worth taking - easy A. No textbook required; go to concerts $90 for semester concert tickets and offers ec musical concerts.

cool guy. class was pretty easy. just go to the concerts and study and you'll get at least a b.

VERY easy teacher = go to lectures for test info! This class is EASIER if you're into rock. 2 exams with VERY HELPFUL study guides (use that book w/ them). You do need to know song structure a little (like the beat, tempo, verse - he'll teach you the basics). Also minimal assignments (attending a concert + summing it up = supposedly biggest paper).

Really interesting class if your into music history! Lectures contain a lot of multimedia like music clips, dvds (VH1 like interviews) and UTube videos, but all relative to topic. Go to class because then you won't have to read and he tells you exactly what you need to know for tests! Final is a presentation or paper on band of your choice!

good professor, test are not tooooooooooo difficult u need to take really good class notes becuase most of the stuff on the test are not in the book (i will be selling my book if anyone wants to but it) he is weird, but funny. concert attendance for hw points are important and one concert paper. 3 tests (w/final)

This class sucked...Flood just talked about ipods, 50 cent and kanye, and whatever artist he was digging that week. We never learned anything about an actual history of rock and roll. he spent the semester talking about the internet, and whats going on in the industry today. don't be fooled and take the class thinking its history of rock and roll

Super chill, very nice, wants all to get A's, very easy - just go to class, since it was a new class it was unorganized & unstructured, but there's hope for the future of this course.

This is NOT a History of Rock 'N' Roll class - it is more of a Economics of the Music Business class. Other than that, the class was VERY easy (just show up, take notes, take the quizzes and do the writing assignments) and entertaining. John is a chill prof and he really knows his rock 'n' roll.

Flood knows his stuff. the classes are easy to get up and go to and not fall asleep in. I got an A and over 100% on the last final. its not that hard at all. plus its all about the progression of rock n roll cmon who doesnt want to take this?

Easy class. Just show up, take notes, study 10 minutes before the quizzes/tests, and you'll be good. He tells you exactly what he's going to test you on, and rarely throws curveballs. He offers tons of extra credit. This is a great class for upper-division GE, and TFM majors, it also satisfies one of your major requirements.

Prepared to be screwed... NOT! So easy. Just look at all the other reviews. Best study guides (no tricks) and just show up and take notes. Hands down the easiest class you will take for college.

Easy as long as you show up every time. The information he gives in his lectures and online notes on blackboard is what you have each week on the quizzes. Miss a day, miss a quiz. each quiz is 10 pts of total 320 in the class. Easy A, very cool guy.

If you're a real music fan you'll do great in this class. He not only teaches about music history but about music ethics. The book was a great read. Study the study guide for tests. Extra credit concerts are nice. If you appreciate music and its ability to be an art then you'll do well in this class.

You do NOT need to go to lecture, buy the textbook because he gives you a study guide for the midterms and you study from the book. Tests are easy if you follow the study guide. Do ALL of the extra credit because that helps your grade immensely. Easy final, either a short 3min group presentation or a paper. Definitely recommend this class

Class was interactive and you don't have to worry about buying a textbook. You do have a couple of smaller papers to write (comparative paper & concert report). Attendance done through quizzes & they are done at end of class. Would recommended the class, but be forewarned that you will rarely get out early - even for once a week class.

Easy class as long as you show up. You dont really need the book but it would be wise to take notes. He's super funny and laid back, but sometimes he's too laid back which isnt good. If you like music this would be a great class to take, its pure notes, 3 test and a final presentation, oh yeah and a concert report=)

Floods sucha chill teacher. But he can actually be kinda a **** at times. Theres 3 test, all based on the stuff he says in class so i suggest goin. test arent the 2 hard, but not super easy, so if u do the e.c. concert reports itll garentee ur A. The final is a presentation. Just make sure u go to class after the 3rd test, hell take off points

This class is very easy. You don't need to buy the book because the lectures cover what will be on the exam, and the exams are not difficult. To the person below who wrote the wrong concert report, this was emphasized more times than I can remember in class, next time pay more attention. It's funny how one person, out of a class of 80, covered t

DONT TAKE THIS CLASS!! EC was expensive! u have to drive all the way 2 carlsbad for a museum. Class was very long & full of info that he tests u on at the very end of class. by that time u're very sleepy & u dont remember anything!!! Class was not fun. MUST ATTEND ALL CLASSES. there's a test every class and he doesnt let u out early!

One of the best teachers this school has. Go to class, listen to the lectures, read the magazine articles he assigns and you'll get an easy A in the class. He does a great job on teaching about where rock n roll came from and how it evolved.

Professor Flood is a cool dude! Take this class if you know your stuff.... or if you an audio learner. Must attend lecture for lecture notes otherwise he doesn't post it online.
