I took Dr. Zuniga for Music Theory 1 and was honestly one of my favorite classes. He is very clear when explaining the material in class and the homework is relatively easy. One thing with him is DO NOT BE LATE! It's really easy to ask him for help on the material and is always in his office. Extremely nice, funny and really fun to be in his class.

Concert Band, super easy. All you have to do is show up (on time) and know your part. Only graded on attendance and concerts. But you will get called out for not knowing your part, if not by him by other students, so don't take the class if you don't care or just want an easy A.

Prior experience with music theory NOT required! As a matter of fact, it might even make the class almost too easy! You need basic math skills because most of the theory is simple mathematics. You NEED to understand and/or memorize fundamental musical principles. You can easily get an 'A' if you show up and do what you are supposed to do.

Dr. Zuniga's basic music theory class is not just your typical foray into the world of music. He provided real insight into how the world functions as a result of music through his inspirational discussion topics and was extremely fair in giving plenty of opportunities on assessments. If you already know some music theory, this class is super easy.

Dr. Zuniga is one of those teachers which you either hate or love. There is no in-between. He has a tendency to be very sarcastic and it often sounds rude but it's mostly just a joke. There are times where he locked the door five minutes after class started and nobody was allowed in. Attendance is crucial for his class. Good luck!

Has great lectures, and as long as you review your notes, and study the study guide he gives you, then you'll do great on the tests!

First day of class professor said this would be the easiest class wed take at LMC and he was right! The semester consist of 3 cycled assignments (reading+quiz, Cornell notes and concert reports). Theres a lot of reading, however you can retake the quizzes until you get 100%. In-person lecture is so cool+fun + the documentaries are awesome!

His class is not difficult nor is it easy. Read the instructions, study and or review the material, do the work and or test, and get an "A". He drops lowest grade for assignment and your grade goes up, up, and away into space. He posts textbook copy for his online class. I did not even need to buy a textbook.

Professor Zuniga is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Despite the fact that I am not a music major and only took his class for credit, he offered me a newfound passion for music. The coursework in his class is very easy and as long as you follow his rubric and requirements, you will get 100% on every assignment.

I took this class as a filler but the information i learned I will use in discussions. He grades straight forward, as long as you participate and put effort in your notes you will have no problem passing. This is also my first time rating a teacher so I fully recommend his class.

i took his class because of the great reviews but personally, he wasn't the best. he was very picky on grading cornell notes his template was very hard to type into, he wouldn't accept it if it wasn't his template. he's not overall bad but isn't the best either. average. though, the work is pretty easy. he's an easy A! take him!

Where else can you hear great music in class while learning about the evolution of American musical styles? Almost every class started with some cool jams which led into that day's lesson. Dr. Zuniga is a terrific instructor whose passion for music made class fun and interesting.

Dr. Zuniga is an excellent professor who cares for his students. He provides all the energy you need for class, so it wasn't even a problem it was on a Monday. I found myself wishing it was more than once a week. I enjoyed it so much that I've opted to take another class of his for the summer.

Dr. Zuniga was an amazing professor. His lectures were never dull, and the activities done outside class were also super entertaining. This class is super easy to pass as long as you turn work in on time-- the work isn't difficult and neither are the tests. 100/10 I Enjoyed his class and loved his teaching style as well.

I enjoyed this class. I took it online and it was not hard. All you have to do is do your work on time and complete. You should have no problem passing with at least an A. Professor responded to my messages in a timely manner and gave clear instructions for assignments. Overall great class.

Took Professor's Z class this past semester and had a blast. Class is not hard if you do you part by paying attention and completing the work on time. I took this class on line but would have loved to do it in person. Learned a lot about music and was able to meet up for some pinball in Alameda. Overall, had a great time in his class.

I truly admire Dr. Zuniga for being an exceptional instructor. His sense of humor and dedication to teaching opera has made a significant impact on me. Previously, I found this art form uninteresting, but under his guidance, I have developed a newfound appreciation and love for it.

Had to take this class to graduate, easy class, but a lot of watching long documentaries/movies and taking 4 pages of cornell notes. It is more busy work than anything. You also have to pay to access his online textbook and homework... Never posted his modules on time; it was always posted late on a Tuesday or Wednesday.

You can easily get an A from his class, however he seems to be not okey with some races. He thinks he is cool but he is not. Yet he has great information about music if you are into music.

I don't know what the good ratings are talking about. This man was the devil spawn walking on earth. The good comments are the very few students he was nice to. Rudest professor I have ever met. Do not take his class if you care about your mental health. He constantly yells at students for doing the most normal and simple of things.

He was a chill teacher. I only had him once a week for an hour but everything was open book. And the quizzes/HW could be checked multiple times without any points deducted. Just make sure you get your work on time since he doesn't have a late work policy. Exams easy since all what was needed was proof of going his concert with a short paragraph

Professor Z knows his stuff, but can be a bit intense. If you stay engaged and use resources like unstuck study, you'll learn a lot and likely get a solid grade.
