Comment:
Wonderful personality, excitability that belongs on Broadway. I humorously, mildly regret sitting in front row because of sound sensitivity problems and he's actually pretty loud, but it keeps you awake. Very understanding but adheres to grading rules tightly. Also, I learned how to read a textbook this semester. Take lots of notes in class folks.

Difficulty is just a matter of the subject of the course, to no fault of his own. He's awesome though, and should probably be on Broadway for how much life he can give to really awful, boring material like early music and the renaissance. Completely recommend.

Onderdonk is actually an amazing all-around human being. He's sooooo nice and great at making music history classes not the most boring classes you'll ever take. Which is not easy.

Dr. Onderdonk's classes are by NO means easy. There is a lot of work and he expects a lot from each student. However, he is so willing to help after classduring office hours, and he is so passionate about his subject that it makes it easy to pay attentionbe interested. Lectures are NOT boring. Amazing teacher!

Dr. Onderdonk was one of the most helpful professors I've ever had. He was always willing to work with students on new concepts and gave plenty of extra time in office hours and review sessions. The tests were hard but definitely fair and his study guides cover everything that might be on the test. I would definitely suggest this teacher.

I took this class for an elective. The textbook he pulls material from for tests and quizzes. He's a good guy and the class can be fun, but it has too much music theory and I don't know that stuff. The papers we had to write were crazy hard.

Best teacher I've had in all of college. He expects a lot out of his students and his tests cover a lot of information but he is the most active, funny, organized, and helpful teacher I've ever had. I am taking 2 of his class next semester just because I enjoy him so much. Highly recommended!

Onderdonk is great. Comes across a bit...strange at the beginning but he loves his music and is really knowledgable. There are some things I felt he skipped over for less important things but that's just me. It's a really fun class. If you love music like me, the listening tests are easy. Chances are you'll know most of the songs anyway.

He was so cool and his class was fairly easy. Just pay attention in class, skim the readings and listen to the assigned tracks and you should be good. He has a great sense of humor and doesn't shy away from the nitty gritty stuff.

Some of the listening tests are difficult, but for the rest, just attend class and take notes and you should be fine. Cool teacher, if you appreciate blues or rock music...

Absolutely loved his class, took the 121 class because I got assigned to it randomly and I liked it so much I took his rock course in the spring. Both classes were really interesting and he expects you to put effort into them, however he's an extremely helpful professor and a really funny gun. Would definitely take him again if I could.

He is funny but you have to apply yourself. This class isn't a breeze. He expects you to work to get the grade. That being said, he is a very funny guy. Sometimes I think his humor is annoying but he is very passionate about what he does and it definitely comes across in class.

The funniest professor I've Ever had!!! He is hysterical. I didn't have a music background before taking this class which was a huge disadvantage.. He does teach you the things but you need to be able to identify them in rock songs he plays which i found to be difficult. The exams are pretty rough and theres a paper. D2L quizzes online too.

OK guy. I dont understand why people say its easy. He expects you to be able to listen to music and do well on these worksheets which is nearly impossible towards the end. But if you apply yourself and work hard you can get a B. If you dont try at all thats the only way you can fail.

This guy is all over the place but keeps class entertaining for the most part! You don't need any musical experience to get a good grade and he also drops a lot of your lowest worksheets and quizzes. I would definitely recommend.

funny guy and he takes his job pretty seriously. he freaked out a couple of times about people not paying attention. but if you show up, pay attention, and do the work it's a really enjoyable and fairly easy class even for someone with no musical background.
