Comment:

This class is one of the easiest classes you can take at SDSU. Only 2 Exams worth 100 points each. Quizzes every week but they are literally around 11 Q each and he gives you 1 hour to do them, which is more than enough time. Also concerts every week, 50 min each, show up to them and that's 25 points for each.

Took this class to fill the GE. Have to pay for the concert series and you get attendance credit. Quiz and concert every week. Few blog posts that are easy. If you do well enough throughout the semester, you don't have to take the final.

To be honest I just took this class because I assumed it would be an easy choice for a GE fulfillment. I was pleasantly surprised by how interesting it turned out to be. Delgado does a good job of incorporating different types of instruments, and music into his lectures. Tests are very easy. No textbook needed! Fun class overall!

You get HUM and Cultural Div. credits for this one class. How awesome is that! All you do is watch cool interesting online lectures, take the quizs, then go to weekly concerts. Midterm, final, 2 easy opinion blogs that's it. If you have an A b4 the final u don't need to take it. Easy A. Lots of EC. Idk how one can't get an A in this class.

I was worried taking this class bec some reviewed him as hard esp. the listening exam. I studied hard for the 1st exam & perfected it! It wasn't hard at all. Watching the weekly modules is fun & will help the exams. Concerts are so cool. You're a fool not to take this class. I got an A so I didn't need to take the final. Kind Prof. Lots of EC.

Great professor and fun class. Attendance is not mandatory but I loved going to lectures because of how passionate Delgado is. Easy A if you do all the work.

Professor Delgado is very passionate about disco, and teaches very well; his lectures were great. I admit I didn't want to take the class at first because I didn't really like disco, but music 351 ended up converting me. Thank you Professor Delgado for Love Hangover by Diana Ross.

Took his disco class, easy class and interesting subject. Although he doesnt take attendance I recommend showing up to class because the quizzes rely heavily on lecture material that he doesnt post online.

EASIEST A OF ALL TIME. Online quizzes that have questions that are directly from his lecture, you can speed up a 30 minute lecture x2. Attend concerts, and take the online quizzes. Too easy. Meet to take the midterm and final. Failed both still had 96% because of all the extra credit. 100% WOULD RECOMMEND.

Comment:

He is a very nice guy and very passionate about music. He is also incredibly accommodating and willing to help. The lectures and reading are kind of boring with lots of info about the culture of the 70s. I wish it was more about the music and not mainly on the history and culture. The tests are kind of hard so you really have to study. Lots of hw.

Professor Delgado is a really nice guy who is very passionate about music. He loves teaching and is very kind, helpful, and accommodating. There are journals, discussions, quizzes, a creative project, along with a midterm and final. It is a decent amount of work for a ge and not a super easy A. Overall I'm glad I took the class.

Delgado is a sweetheart. He cares about your success in his class as well as in all your academic endeavors, and goes out of his way to show it: library tour for freshmen, promoting campus resources, encouraging feedback on practically every assignment. Caters to all different learners. Most assignments over Blackboard, and grade always up to date.

For this class, I have to say it is a lot of work but it can be an easy A. He is very straightforward with everything so there are no surprises. There are also plenty of chances for extra credit on quizzes and tests. I would definitely recommend taking the class. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what he teaches and it shows!

Absolutely loved his class! The way he lectured really engaged me in the topic. I was never bored during his lectures and always sat at the first row to really give my undivided attention. Quizzes and discussions were online- really easy. Tests weren't too bad, just a little time-consuming having to know the songs for the listening portion.

Perfect GE class! As a business major, I was somewhat worried about taking music as a GE, but Delgado explains the terms multiple times. I found the modules very interesting and enjoyed learning about various cultures. This class is not difficult if you are willing to do the readings and listen to the lectures. Expectations are clear.

Comment:

Like music? It's not about what you like. It's learning a new language and it's many different countries and continents you'd not be ready to read about. It's not only a new language, but you have to put the style from notes to what you hear and there are TOO MANY. It's too broad of a spectrum. A thousand words of new language. Not easy. I get A's.

Did not put in the syllabus when our quizzes and blog assingments were due. 3 exams (non cumulative). The first exam was easy, however the second exam was a fat joke and was ridiculously hard. Make sure you put in the hours of studying. The quizzes are very very specific. Mandatory concerts every monday night- easy part of grade. Interesting class

Comment:

He was a helpful teacher overall but his tests were sometimes too much. You have to basically learn 60 foreign terms for each test and memorize 12 songs. Also have to pay $110 for concerts for grade points. Nice class but it seemed like it was a foreign language course on top of already having to take a music class...

This class was my favorite of the semester!The professor is really enthusiastic & knowledgable about music. Is a one day lecture that consists of: 2 hrs of lecture followed by 1 hr of concert(the concert is about the lecture that you just had, it makes you retain information better!)STUDY A LOT for the tests! and you'll get an A. extra credit:DO IT
