Very interesting teacher. really cares about his job and students. answers emails really quickly. the jazz music you listen to is actually really nice. just look at the powerpoints and youll be fine on the tests. the listening part is a little harder. and you have a group project that you have like weeks to do. easy A.

Professor Midgley is awesome! not a music major and got an A. He is very passionate about music and teaching even though he can be kind of quirky at times. The tests are online and very easy. If you attend lecture you can make an easy A. There is a group project that is easy but it can be annoying. He will gladly help anyone at any time.

Literally the nicest man in all of Nacogdoches, can be lenient with students but DO NOT try to walk over him, he loves his job and what he does and he deserves respect because he knows what he's talking about. Take this professor if possible.

This class is an easy A. He is great and very passionate about what he does, so he knows what he is teaching. There's only one group project, but its really easy. Just take the quizzes before the tests and you will pass easily.

Midgley is one of the oddest professors but also one of the sweetest and most passionate about their subject. He loves the music and truly wants his students to appreciate it too. The class itself is incredibly easy; the tests are all online, multiple choice, and come directly from his lectures. The group project midterm is basically a free A.

Ok, this teacher has been so helpful whenever I or other students go talk to him after class. He answers his emails fast. And this man knows how to teach music. He playes piano and guitar, so he is a rock star. He covers the material for the test and is fair. Great person and great class. If you are at SFA take the rock his class with him.

Comment:

I went to class the day before tests and read over the notes he uploaded on my own time and made 95-100% on every test. His lectures can be long, but he knows his stuff. Be respectful in his class, or he will go on a tiny rant. One group project that is relatively easy. The class is an easy A and the material isn't all that boring.

Professor Midgley was a lot of fun. Class was not mandatory. Tests are online, there is one group project but it was super easy. There is also one paper but he is a really easy grader! Got 100 on both the project and the paper. Even if you do bad on tests, the project and paper will help you. Do the extra credit he offers! This class is an easy A!!

Comment:

This class sounds easy, but the tests are very hard. They are not over rock and roll, we were asked to identify the musical texture of a song. Basically it is impossible to do well on the listening portion if you are not a music major. Projects are unclear and it gets quite frustrating trying to understand what he wants.

Easy class. Take notes over the weekly modules if you want, but you can just use CTRL-F or google to do the tests. There are two weekly discussion postings that I am not sure he even reads and a "Dialogue with Instruction" question that gives you a 100% for whatever you answer. There is one group project but it is an easy A. Its a Gimme Credit.

He's a weird dude. Took him for history of rock and he would always sing and dance along with the songs. I hated the boring lecture but all assignments are online so it's really easy. He checks attendance bu it's easy to forge. If you want a laugh, check out his youtube- The Internet Legend

Comment:

He's rude and hates our generation, he was constantly complaining about "tippy tappy devices" 50 minutes has never felt so long. I wish I would have taken a different appreciation class because this class was miserable. I would not recommend him as a professor to anyone. He has gone down hill since all the old reviews and has changed.
