Comment:

I had Dr. Adams for the music history sequence about ten years ago.Take advantage of his knowlede now while you can! He's great!! He prepared me for graduate school more than anyone else. And now that I've experienced other music history professors, I rank him on the top of the pile!

Comment:

If you read your book and take notes in class - plus actually listen to the selections, you'll do fine - he's an AWESOME teacher - but he's hard. You earn what you get in this class - and he's more than willing to help those who aren't looking for an easy

Comment:

He was a really nice man. I learned a lot. But I think it was mainly because I am interested in music, even if it is classical music. Otherwise, I think I would've been bored out of my mind!

I loved his class! He made me genuinely laugh, and was extremely approachable with questions, and always ready to admit his goof-ups and laugh at himself. I would def. choose this over any other music course

lectures were scattered and vaguely organized. he knows the material well but doesn't convey it to the students well. study guides nice but don't really prepare one for the test. prob. the hardest tests i've taken in a while and a hard class, for a gen. ed.

Very difficult prof. Doesn't teach well, but loves the material. Fun to have in class, but it will most likely be one of the hardest gened type courses you can take at Bridgewater.

Comment:

As much as he wants to be a sleep therapist or insurance salesman, this guy is definitely in his prime field. Definitely the hardest classes I've taken, but I know that the grades I earned mean something. Papa Smurf is the coolest.

Comment:

One of the hardest classes I have ever taken. He is a really nice man and is incredibly smart when it comes to music, but for someone who knows nothing about music, the class is extremely hard. I only recommend it, if you have a good music background.

He's a nice man and very smart, but he just isn't very good at teaching people who know nothing. Be prepared for some frustration with unclear test questions and such if you take his courses.

Dr. Adams is a really cool guy. I will tell you this...he really knows his stuff when it comes to music. He is very into what he does. He simply loves music. If you take his class, go into it ready and interested about music history.
