Loved this class, I never thought I would've enjoyed this! The assignments are super clear and can do it without a sweat. So if you need a class to give you less stress, then this is the class! You also get to make 2 music projects that are short and have one paper to do halfway into the semester. Highly recommend this professor for beginners!

Fully online class. LOADS of extra point opportunities. 1 midterm and 1 final; both are easy and contain Q's from weekly quizzes. Weekly quizzes are extremely easy. Three major music projects from hooktheory/hookpad. There is no reason to fail this class. If you fail this class, start applying to McDonald's ASAP.

Super easy GE course it took me about 30mins to an hour to complete the weekly work. I didn't buy the textbook and I did not need it because quiz questions are available online. There is a 1k word paper which isn't too bad, and two music projects that are pretty easy. If you have over an A, you don't need to take final. Take this class for easy A!!

This was a very easy and solid GE class. There is a 1000-1400 word essay which you do a month or two in the semester. You do 2 projects which are not so bad, they are really easy. If you have over 900 points in the class before the final, you don't have to take it. I highly recommend this course for anyone wishing for an easy GE course.

This is one of the most easiest classes you're going to have to take. There are weekly assignments that are incredibly simple and quick. You need to buy the online book but you hardly ever use it. All of the answers for the quizzes are online. There are a lot of super easy extra credit assignments too, so there's no excuse for failing this class.

This is an awesome online class. I have taken many online classes and they are usually lots of work. Not this one. I don't know a thing about music, was taking it for a GE scared I would fail. The expectations are clear and there is lots of extra credit? Highly recommend.

I say there is a lot of homework but its just busy work. You have a discussion board you do every week and one essay. He is really reflective and will comment and leave feedback in the announcement sections.

Easiest GE course I've taken. I took the class online. I heard he's changed the way he does things slightly, but the assignments are pretty much the same. The modules each week should only take about 30 minutes, and you only have one essay that you need to write throughout the semester.

The book doesn't cost much, and is needed for the quizzes. You take a quiz and do a journal entry almost each week. There is an easy midterm and final. You have to do an analysis paper, but everything is graded for full credit if you just follow the criteria. If you have 90+ points you don't have to take the final. Easy online class.

Provides tons of extra credit. There are 1-3 journals due every week consisting of opinions on music videos, readings, hookpad/hooktheory, etc. There is major writing assignment of 1k words about one music article and identifying the audience, tone, rhetoric, etc. Accepts late assignments for half points. Grading is weird; 93 points A not a 93%!!!

Hands down the worst studio professor on the planet. All the clarinetist hate him. Hes sexist, racist, and only likes his talented students. If you play a secondary instrument, heavily consider switching to it

Easiest class ever! Only spent hour or less each week, do the work and you will get credit easily. Do not have to do final if you already have 90 points in the class.

Easiest class I have taken by far. Quizzes every week, but they are open book and you can repeat them as many times as needed till you get them all right. Also one article analysis with two music projects that are fairly easy if you have a ear for music. (which who doesn't really) Would highly suggest taking this class.

Easiest online class I've taken. You have to purchase an online textbook, which I never really used. There are weekly journals and quizzes (answers are online), a music project , an essay, and a midterm and final. He posts modules in advance so you can get ahead. Many extra credit opportunities. Easy A if you complete the work on time.

Since this is an online course, it is required to do all of the work. If you do all the work then you'll pass with an A. There are quizzes and discussion board. 3 music projects. I recommend taking him.
