Really easy class, he makes lame jokes all the time in an attempt to energize the class. If you have a friend who's taken the class before, get the notes. Class is very large and attendance is not mandatory, just show up for test days.

Attend class, get bonus points. I just glanced at the book, all I needed for exams were the study guides which he displays on the screen and fills out during class. You can even use your notes during the last 5 minutes of the exam.

Comment:
This class is an easy A. He gives you fill-in-the-blank note sheets and he lets you use them during tests. You also don't need the book at all. Also, there are many opportunities for extra credit that will bump a grade up from an A- to and A. I enjoyed this class, and Dr. Wiley is a really nice guy.

Dr. Wiley is an excellent professor. If you do not pay attention or do the busy work, you will not do well in the class, for I know because I have seen many of my peers fail his tests. If you do the work and study for a brief bit before the exams, you will be fine. He understands about limitations on brass instruments and evaluates accordingly.

Comment:
Boring, Unclear, and Naive. Every class I have taken so far with him has made me want to bang my head against a wall. His pacing is far too slow, and not at all interesting. He pushes his jazz groups back by not working out problems and by picking outdated and unchallenging repertoire. Nice guy though!

Treats you like little kids giving you busy work to do in class while he works with other students. Boring. Doesn't really know what he is talking about but puts on a good show pretending that he does.

Dr. Wiley is a great teacher. He is one of the most kind and generous profs that I have had at Millersville. Learning to play piano and the recorder is very frustrating but he is willing to take the time with each student until they understand. Frequent tests but very little book work!

EXTREMELY boring. only reason i ever stayed awake in that class was b/c a cute girl sat next to me. when she wasn't there, i was out like a light. teaches mostly straight from the book, although i didn't crack it open. tests are moderately difficult. barring a boring teacher, material is somewhat interesting...but not enough to keep you awake. eh.

Very cool professor. His class is one big lecture, but if you pay attention, you'll do fine on the exams. His exams are all multiple choice. Just stay on his good side and you'll have a good time.

BORING! I always dreaded going to this class. He's a very poor public speaker and LOVES going off on tangents. He provides outlines which help for tests, but if you don't come to the lectures you miss the listening examples. He's a nice guy, but I end up playing Tetris all class period...*YAWN*

He's very enthusiastic in his subject but his lectures tend to be unclear b/c he's so scattered. But the tests aren't too hard, plus he gives a lot of extra credit. But if you are looking for the easiest class at MU..take PopMusic with Dr. S-R, 50% of your grade is for showing up!

I HATED This class! There was nothing to hand in and no homework, but the tests were hard. He didn't go over everything that was on the test and combined 3 chapters for each test. Just make sure to go to class everyday and take good notes!
