This man is a bro. I wanted to stand up on my desk on the last day of classes and go "O Captain my Captain".

Without a doubt, the best prof I've had at UW. He's clear with what he expects. Very funny and keeps you engaged with relevant facts, stories and jokes. Textbook reading is an absolute minimum as he tells you which pages of the book he'll test you on. Super easy multiple choice, easy 90. He doesn't post any notes, so you will have to attend class.

Simon is such a great prof, he loved what he taught and made the 3hr night lecture worthwhile. Never a boring class, always worthwhile. Definitely suggest going to class because it's worth it.

Dr. Wood is amazing, he was caring even though it was a large class. He conveys the content in an interesting way, and everything he chooses to include is important or fascinating, but usually both. He had everyone laughing every week without fail. This class was over too soon. 10/10 would take again.

Simon is one of the best profs I've ever had. He's hilarious, and he has a lot of knowledge about music. He's always willing to help and give you feedback on your tests if you feel you didn't do as well as you hoped. I don't think I've ever not laughed in his class. Definitely recommend!

Lectures were interesting, he was able to keep the classes attention throughout the 3 hours. Just have to make sure you take some kind of notes, as he doesn't post anything online.

Amazing prof, able to keep your attention for the full 3 hours at night. You must attend or have a reliable friend as he doesn't post any course notes. Learned a lot in this class especially given my limited knowledge on the topic, very interesting! Personally had to study very hard and memorize a lot of specific dates to do well on M/C tests.

Professors like Simon only come around once in a while. He is an exceptional professor and is very passionate about the subject. Being a 3 hour night class, he was able to keep the entire class fully engaged, especially with his humour. The class was a ton of fun and I would highly recommend it!

Extremely fun class, prof was so cool, wasn't a chore to just pay attention which could be attributed to the course content but the I'd sit through Simon explaining CS 245.

Simons Music 140 class basically saved my 1A term. His class is one you look forward to every week, regardless of how long the lecture is or the time it's at. The class is easy to follow and you'll do great as long as you show up. P.s. no homework, ever.

Comment:
This guy is pretty interesting and is quite eccentric. However, his lectures went rather quickly for a 3 hour night class, and is very entertaining. He doesn't post any lectures online so you have to come to class to take notes (or have a friend). I very much enjoyed Music in Film, I've learned a lot and would take it again.

a good prof, but multiple choice term tests are hard if you dont study. Makes sure to do the readings as most of the material from the textbook will be included on the tests.

He's extremely engaging and most classes don't feel as long as they are ! You learn a lot of really cool and interesting things about music and how it has developed. I missed one class and definitely regretted it, so GO TO CLASS! It's definitely worth it!
