Comment:
Dr. Aloisio is by far one of the best professors I have ever had at MNSU. The textbook isn't necessary, but you do need to go to class for notes or have someone else get them to you. You'll have the opportunity to get 66 extra credit points, so even if you do somewhat bad on an exam, you can still get an A or even an A+.

Comment:
Concerts were kind of a pain, they're cheap but just need to get tickets ahead of time. He made lecture very fun and interesting, I wasn't one for music history but I actually really enjoyed the class. Exams weren't difficult, read what he doesn't talk about in lecture, because it will be on exam. He reminds you several times what will be on exam.

The class is only based on 3 tests and 3 concerts you have to attend. I got a 60% on each of my tests but I got 66 points of extra credit just by attending 3 more concerts. Attend the extra concerts and you'll get an A! Easy A.

Comment:
Gerard is the most passionate professor I ever had. The trick to getting an A+ in pop music is write down every single word he says in his lectures. Never had to read out of the book once and his test questions are word-for-word of what he talks about in lecture. Very fun teaching style and never a dull moment with my favorite professor.

I'm wasn't into music, but that changed after Dr. Aloisio. The exams are based on lecture, but he makes them fun and interesting. He truly wants students to pass and often mentions meeting with him if you are struggling. I wholeheartedly recommend Aloisio whether you need the class or not. A class I was dreading turned into a class I loved!

Good class, great professor. I would recommend taking this class in person because Dr. Aloisio's lectures make it way easier to remember content, whereas in the online class, you're basically on your own with the textbook. (I took both Pop Musics, one in person, one online)

Aloisio is a nice teacher overall, but a super hard class. Your grade is based on tests and only tests (four). He makes you attend three concerts throughout the semester that you have to pay for that don't help your grade, but affect it if you don't attend. Although, if you attend 2 extra concerts bumps you a whole letter grade. Hard class!!

AMAZING PROFESSOR!!! He made Pop Music so fun and one of my favorite classes. However his tests are very hard and I studied a lot for them. It covers 3 goal areas so I think it is worth taking. He also offers an easy extra credit opportunity. I recommend this class

Honestly the worst class I have ever taken at MNSU. The tests are so difficult and completely unrelated to his boring lectures. Class is pointless. I'll give him props he is kinda funny. Class sucked

Aloisio is a gosh dang delight. I genuinely enjoyed every minute of pop music with him, and I would love to take the class again if I could. You do have to read the book if you want an A, but the book is really interesting, so you should be reading it anyway.

he might be a good teacher for american student, but as an international student, he gave me a hard time concentrating about what he is teaching us during the lecture, he does not use a projector to help us understanding better or any other stuff, he just talk, for me, it was so hard to keep up with him.

Even though the lectures are a little boring, I'd take another class with him again. He'll play the music for you and makes the material easy to understand.

His lectures are specific and easy to take notes from but his tests are very difficult. Such terrible format and he always has none of the above or all of the above as a choice on every one and it tricks you so bad.

Took him for a pop music class, was not disappointed. While the class was not what I was expecting, he's a lively and passionate teacher and he makes it easy to pay attention to material. The grading scale is reasonable, the content is interesting and he's good at communicating, especially considering the class size. Would take again.
