Funny guy, cusses a lot, but overall a pretty easy class. He'll work with you if you need help.
This was a very inspirational class. The lectures are never boring and you can make an "A" for showing up and doing the extra concerts. Everyone should take Kabin at least once. Wonderful experience. You wont regret it.
I really enjoyed this class! I learned a lot and my appreciation for music has definitely increased. I recommend everyone taking this class! You'll be glad that you did
Kabin is an exellent teacher. It make learning about music fun and interesting. He uses great analogies to learn about music and has a passion for his family and music. I've learned "life is art and art is life."
This man is crazy. He uses fowl languege, tells boring stories about his personal life, and cracks mean jokes about how people in Arkansas are stupid. I will say that he truly has a passion for music and it was an interesting class. He isn't a good role model though. I think he is just a loser wannabe actor and a sad excuse for a respectable man.
He's really funny and he makes music lecture really enjoyable.
It started out fun and then it was a bunch of Bull****z...one thing that i can forget is when he said somebody said he dress like a janitor cause first time i saw him i thought he was the ****ing janitor.
Fun Class!! Really enjoyed it!
It is obvious that he is passionate about what he teaches. Most of the time it was pretty fun, but toward the end we had to do a bunch of crap for the meditations, that sucked. Yea and memorizing 64 songs for a freaking test also sucks, hard.
the class is fine, but he can go off on a tangent and it can get annoying. he is a great guy. the class is harder than i thought, you pretty much have to be one of the assistants to get an A. Bullcrap

The class was ok except for the meditations. The amount that had to be written got a little old. The class was decently hard and Kabin did a good job of teaching it. He should leave his feelings on subjects out, such as politics.
Kabin rocks my face off!!!
Amazing professor! I loved his class. he makes it fun and the only thing that is hard is the meditations but they r only time consuming.
Kabin Thomas is very entertaining and his class really makes my day a lot better.
KABIN IS AN AWESOME TEACHER!! I LOVE MEDITATIONS!:)
I love Kabin's Music Lecture class! He makes music interesting even the old, classical kind!
Prof. Thomas is hilarious! At first you are completely taken aback by his comments but you get used to them. His class is very easy as long as you do all of the work. If you care enough about passing, you will.
the man is bi polar just about, but is entertaining and had interesting thoughts. you dont have to agree with them though because they are a litle crazy. get on tantrums too, but its fun to see him talk
he is funny! he'll help you if you need it!
kabin really loves what he does and u can tell in his teaching. i've enjoyed his class.
Kabin makes this class fun. He is very funny and it is fun to listen to all the stupid things that he says.
It seemed like it would be a very easy class at first, but I ended up doing quite a bit of outside homework and studying. For such a huge class, you would think there would be little to no homework. The tests can be a little hard also. Nevertheless, this is all relative. If you work pretty hard you won't even have to take the last test.
fun class!!!!!!!!!!! he's a very interesting person!
He is very eccentric. Comes off rude and tacky, but has good intentions. He really makes you appreciate Classical music.
This class is an easy A if u put forth effort!
I thought this was an enjoyable class that set a good foundation in classical music and helped show how classical music has influenced our culture.
Teaches music in a modern way not old fassion boring stuff.
He was pretyy funny, sometimes he goes a little too far but for the most part hes a good guy.
This class was a blast!! A huge relief from the other classes that most of us are taking! his tests are kinda hard, but there are tons of other ways to get points to bump up your test grades!
He was a big black dude who was big and black... he tought us music!
Had a lot of work but was very easy. I recommend it to anyone!
Just go to class and do the homework
Mr. Thomas is a great teacher. I enjoyed every thing about the class and the best part were the med.
He is a very good teacher, but he is close minded. He is very passionate about what he does, and he has a great respect for music, and how it can cure the soul.
Mr. Thomas is a very funny person. He always made class interesting and worth your time. I think that he is a great teacher and could always make your day a little better.
He is very interesting and will definitely keep your attention throughout the 50 minutes. There is always something that he makes you listen to or watch everytime and he is very understanding if you have any problems.
tests are kind of hard, but if you turn in everything else it's easy to get an A
Kabin's class was so wonderful!!
I really enjoyed Mr. Kabins class because he taught us how to think outside of the box more then anything. I also liked the meditations we did in class every day the music was really realaxing.
great class! teacher is awesome!
i thought the point totals were confusing and it was hard to keep track of everything we had to hand in
everyone gave him a bad rep when i read thru his b4 enrollin in the class but i loved him! he has a great heart for music and helping all age groups! i got to work with him outside the classroom and he was very passionate for what he was doing!! he tought me never to give up and always reach for the stars!! 2 thumbs up!!
Nice teacher, but its hard to keep up with point totals. The meditations get to be annoying.
Kabin is funny but takes things a little too seriously.
Kabin was a cool teacher most of the time but the meditations got a little old. Some songs could be left out of the class.
I didn't like the class
Kabin is cool as****! Take him!! You will have so much fun!
This class is pretty easy if you keep up with all of the meditations. Also, don't skip class often because he throws in little assignments which can hurt if they pile up. Overall, it is an enjoyable class; he is pretty hilarious.
Pretty easy class as long as you keep up and attend. Kabin is a great teacher. Very enthusiastic and fun teacher.
Good teacher. Loves his subject.
This man creeped me out the first few weeks, but I grew to really appreciate his passion and dedication to classical music. He's doing a great thing and will be someone in this world one day. Great teacher! Take this class to enlighten your mind and get an easy a!
Kabin is seriously the most insightful teacher I have ever had. He makes you think of everything that happens to you daily as just part of it, and shows how musicians use this feeling to make everything make sense in the world. Awesome approach to a pretty boring class topic! Great!
For some reason u always seem to make me laugh or smile.
Really fun and exciting
I love him!
He can be a bit radical, but you will feel like you've learned without having to teach it to yourself. If you keep up the class can even be easy. If you go expecting to learn you will be entertained. If you go expecting to be entertained you will work hard and learn. -an mlit student
Kabin Thomas is an overall awesome professor. His approach to learning is different from any method I've ever known. What I admire most in him is his utmost respect for other cultures music and the passion he has for his own.
I really enjoyed Kabin's class. He knows how to make it interesting to learn. If you go to class you will do fine, and hear some of his good jokes.
Kabin was a cool guy. His course is a little different from your typical class, but the environment is pretty laid back. Overall, an awesome experience with music and a great professor.
Easy class- he's a little different than most, but overall a good guy. fun class.
Great teacher! Makes class fun and interesting. Pretty easy class, just make sure you do your meditations!
only one word to describe BIZZARE
I really love this class. Kabin Thomas is an awesome man and awesome professor! He has taught me how to open my mind and experience different types of music which has helped me to grow more as a person and my views on life and everything in it has been put to question! No doubt that everyone should take professor Thomas' class! It's awesome and fun
a pretty easy class if you put in a little bit of effort. Do your meditations, go to a couple of concerts, and show up and he will throw the points your way. Pretty funny/strange guy. Sometimes a little to much personal info about his life and such but overall pretty chill class.
He's one of the most charismatic people I've ever met!
Kabin was a good teacher, you need to go to class and concerts and be sure you do your meditations, but its not hard to get points if you go to class. He's a pretty cool guy, really passionate about music. Overall good class!
Pretty easy i fyou go to class and put forth a little effort!
Very dedicated. Can be a little strange.

Kabin is extremely inspirational to me as a musician and teacher. You can see that he has passion and a great love for what he does, and that helps the students appreciate him more!! best teacher I've had.
i think kabin is a piece of**** teacher. i think he makes stuff up and has no idea what he is talking about. i HATE coming to this class.
I lost interest when Rump Shaker was compared to Vivaldi!
I really liked Kabin. I thought he was very passionate about his job. Even though the class might be a bit boring, its still pretty interesting.
Kabin is an awesome teacher. He is different from all of the other boring professors. He adds fun stuff and you can never predict what he will do next. The class is pretty easy but you hawve to study the music!! He is helpful and very understanding! I love the class!!
He is a great teacher.
He is a very amazing teacher because he is so much passion for what he does!!!

Mr. Thomas loves music, and is not slow to scream, yell, or curse at you while listening to music in class if you are talking. It is easy.
I really love this class, it was entertaining and he always gives you something to think about....
Kabin Thomas is really passionate about music and it helped me learn about some stuff I didnt know about.. He's really funny but kind of stubborn
Mr. Thomas is a great teacher and I could tell that he really knows what he is teaching. He really loves music.
mr thomas is a fun teacher, he is very animated and passionate about what he does. i enjoyed having him as a teacher.
Kabin loves music and he is willing do to ANYTHING to show you that he does!! Good class to take!!!
Kabin has a true passion for what he does and it shows in his teachings....when a teacher is passionate about what he is teaching it makes it easier to learn...this class was a great class except for the fact he is a raging satan lover...I mean Liberal
Mr. Thomas was very passionate about the subject and this made it a lot easier to learn. The only complaint I would have would be the lack of organization in the class. Despite having so many aids you feel like your shooting in the dark with your grades. You often don't know if they have been received, counted, graded, anything for months at a time
Kabin Thomas is a really nice and funny guy, but he is very unorganized at times. There isn't a lot of structure in this class. Also, there's too much work for 950 students. It's almost impossible for him to keep up with all the grades, so it is very difficult to track your progress. However, it's interesting material and class is fun.
Professor Thomas is one of the greatest teachers i've known. He's extremely passionate about his work and very knowledgeable. He was great and I would definitely take this class, it made my first semester bearable, haha.
Kabin was a wonderful and enthusiastic teacher. I went into the class with a love for music, but now I have a passion for music as an art. I wish Kabin well in all that he does. Thank you for being the BEST teacher I have ever had :)
Remember to go to concerts early in the semester.
He is an awesome teacher and he really cares about what he is doing with his life!!
Had a great time in the class but it is also imperative that you go to class or you will definitely fall behind.
The class was very intersting to say the least. Kabin is a wonderful professor, who to some mite seem to pushy and arrogant, but it I did not think that at all. Easy class if you do your meditations and partially study for the test. Kabin, thank you for expressing your views of classical music upon me, I great appreciate your time and effort.Thanks
very easy class but just because it is easy doesnt mean that you can skip his class all the time and still make an A. gives out alot of extra credit. you wont have to take the final if you do every extra credit, all your concerts, all your meditations, and do pretty okay on your other test before the day of the final
He is a very interesting teacher
He actually was fired? This University is a joke. I guess they would prefer some individual standing before the class boring us all to death. What a great loss this is.
wish all teachers had the same principles as kabin. he's awesome! i hope everything goes well for him and he's dreams come true because this man deserves his dreams. i could relate to his talks all the time. he was hella awesome!!!
I consider Kabin Thomas to be one of the worst teachers I've ever had. His class contained way too much obscenity and liberal propaganda. Classes should approach course material with objectivity. I will at least say, though, that meditation moments were a great way to bring music to the students and force them to think about and interpret music.

Good Guy! Tried hard. A bit unorganized, but got us to listen to music, which I never would have listened to. Meditations were awesome! I need to keep doing that! I miss him on campus.
