Comment:

Curriculum is poorly designed. Manages to take an interesting period in history (Beethoven, Liszt, Brahms, Wagner, Verdi, etc.) and make it intolerably boring through a combination of heavy reliance on a textbook and poor lecturing skills. Does not explore any historical connections outside of music.

Knows a great deal and is very enthusiastic about the subject matter. Unfortunately a very poor lecturer. Try counting the "um"s and "uh"s during any class...

Overall the class was a good experience. He is very knowledgable, and he cares about his students. However, the tests do not quite follow the material learned in class.

Comment:

486? Try 732 last week and 653 this morning! His lectures are AWFUL! His thought train is not connected and you can't follow him at all! Why was he talking about macaroons in Germany? Nothing to do with Music History. I'm sure he's smart but can't

Comment:

In this PhD course he expected a lot of reading and listening, but was clear in his objectives. He grades writing very hard but his tests are not as bad. He is articulate and detailed.
