There is no study guide being used in this class. He goes over a power point presentation in class that he hasnt even watched himself. He gives no review prior to his test. So you dont know what to study for. The average grade on the first test was a 62. Dont take him for this class you will be sorry!!!!!!!!!!

He's a pretty good teacher, tends to use the powerpoint slides and go too fast. His tests were either too easy or too hard, so I don't know if he just needs to get that part of teaching down or what. He didn't give a written project, just an oral presentation on whatever you want to present. I learned a lot.

Professor Music is a nice man, but adequate at best as a professor. Lectures consist of him reading to you from powerpoints, mispronouncing the vast majority of the terms contained within them, and attempting to be funny. He loves bad puns and will even include them as test questions. Easy A.

He is awesome, I took him for Lab and he explained the experiments clearly and made the class fun. Remember his jokes theres one or two in his tests for extra credit. Taking him again now for BSC2011 Lecture !

Excellent teacher. Lectures most of the class but adds a lot of interesting "tid bits". All the PowerPoints he reads on Blackboard to you can can go back and read all of the material covered in class. You are only graded on your tests and final exam. He tells a lot of dad jokes that are sometimes on the tests (easy extra points!).

Cool guy, likes to make bad jokes to the class. But over all, this class SUCKED. People claim his class is "easy" but over this past semester it's been difficult. He's given one review for all of his tests (which are your only grades) and nothing to go off of for his final. Makes doing good on tests extremely difficult. I don't recommend.

His version of teaching is reading off of a school made slideshow wrong. All you have to do to pass is take notes based on online chapter quizzes because they're near identical to the exam. I'm going to retake it to actually learn for my major despite the fact that I get fantastic grades in this class. Also, he pauses constantly for bad jokes. Ugh.

Music is a great professor! Funny, knows what he's talking about. I would take him again in a heart beat. There is a review before each test which helps. A great person, great professor. You have to actually try to fail with him!

Prof Music is a very light hearten person that loves what he does. He has very cheesy jokes, but they lighten up the class and he makes the labs very easy to do and understand. He also reviews for the practicals and basically gives you all the answers. Just show up and pay a little attention, this class shouldn't be difficult at all.

The class was fine but I do not like science so I was not super excited about it anyways. We would get out of class 40 minutes early almost every class. Study for tests and his class is an easy A. He goes to fast for you to take notes but you don't need the notes to study. He is a nice teacher but his jokes and the worst jokes ever.

Mr. Music is such a sweet, likable and nice teacher. I took him for BSC2010 lab and then again for BSC2011 lecture. He really wants all his students to succeed, his tests are very similar to the online quizzes he posts (which aren't graded, just practice) He has corny jokes, but they aren't so bad. I would take him again if he teaches another class

Professor Music is one of the most caring professors at IRSC. He truly wants to help his students succeed. His class is an easy A as long you show up to class on time and listen to his presentation. Every class ended up being dismissed an hour early. Remember the questions on the chapter tests; his final exam is a combination of them all.

Doesn't really teach the material and just reads the book out loud. I am always confused by his directions when we do a lab experiment, but my partners sometimes know and help me. There are four tests, and he gives extra credit based on his jokes on the tests. He lets us out early as well.

Tries to make the lecture fun. 4 exams and the final. Puts quizzes on blackboard and most of the time the questions are on the exams. Get the book, at the end of the chapters the questions there might be on the exam too. Wants you to pass and is very charismatic. Won't regret taking him

Your grade is about 4 tests, he drops lowest test grade. It is very simple and common sense science. I took Biology before this, this is a few steps down from that for perspective. I skipped quite a bit still got good test scores he has reviews before them. He jokes a lot during class but very easy A if you understand basic science.

LOVED having music as a teacher, I had him for biology. Just show up to class, read the chapters, review your power points and practice the quizzes he puts online to help (which are the test questions also) and Easy A! He gives you everything you need to succeed! His tests are not hard, everything is multiple choice.

He makes a lot of dad jokes whether you love or hate it. The tests are online so you really dont need to show up until the day of test. Very easy PowerPoint due, he makes the test questions and will make 2 answers of each question funny so even if you dont study its very obvious. I am taking him again - easy A.

Mr. Music is a really great teacher and it's very hard to fail his class. He tells really funny jokes. The only "hard" thing that you have to do is a presentation, and that's really not that hard. There are only a few tests and you have practice tests that you can use to study. If you happen to miss a class, it won't be the end of the world.

Great teacher!!!! I would take him for ALL of my science classes if I could!!! Read the book, review the slides and come to class. He will work with you especially if he sees you trying. Love the way he told jokes and broke down scientific terms in a manner that a child could understand. I needed all the help I could get. Easy A. Show up & read.

The class is honestly quite easy. As someone who worries about the stress level of a class, this was definitely nothing to worry about. There are 4 main tests, and only 1 is honorlocked. So make sure you study for that one. Other then that, he doesn't reply to emails so good luck getting ahold of him if there's an issue.

Was graded based on the midterm and final exams. The ebook, which required a code, had a lot of projects and homework that were not taken into account and was told it was only a small percentage of my grade. I would only focus on the midterm and final. Only replied to emails after semester was over.

Professor clearly loves the subjects he teaches and it is infectious in the best way. He likes to lecture, but includes jokes, personal anecdotes, and thought-provoking questions to keep things interesting. Class itself is pretty mild, with little to no homework and very fairly graded tests. I had fun!

Very easy A. There weren't a lot of grades to get put in but everything that was graded was very easy. Due dates were extremely lenient. He used the textbook for lectures but you really didn't need one to pass. He was really funny, too. The only thing is that I felt like I didn't learn much, so only take it if you just need the credits.
