Comment:
Dr. Ward was not the best lecturer...monotone, uhmms,etc. BUT I've never met a person more in love with his subject nor one more knowledgable in their chosen profession. He expects students to be present (in mind and body), to know the listening sections, and able write proficiently, succinctly and accurately. On top of that I hear he is a great racquetball player and well rounded person in most subjects. He's so cute too! and his mustache and hair look so debonair!

Comment:
One of the worst professors for one of the hardest classes an undergrad has to take. He knows what he's talking about, but he's a terrible speaker. I once counted 168 "um's" in the first 30 minutes of lecture. His exam questions are on the most obscure facts. Forget trying to learn the timeline of history - You purely need to memorize names to pass

Comment:
This class made me dread stepping foot into the music school every day. He's obviously a brilliant man, but he should NOT be in front of a class, nor should he be designing a curriculum for undergrads. He's completely monotone - so you have NO idea what's important, tangents are a'plenty, & tests are so ridiculous that TA's have to curve on the sly

Comment:
"If you don't hear this piece in F major you should... you should find another career!" Ignoring the fact that "F major" wouldn't be defined for another 200 years. And that is just the beginning of the insight Wardy brings to the lectern. In addition he shows up late and holds us late and his tests only have the most irrelevant info from the book.

Even when he was excited about the topic he had a monotone voice.
