Comment:

This was my favorite class taken at Cornell BY FAR. Even if you aren't a huge Beatles fan but enjoy their music, this class is extremely interesting and informative. I not only learned some very interesting facts about the Beatles, but I also learned a lot about history/culture of the 1960s. Dr. Peraino is a great lecturer, and the class is a must!

Comment:

This class is for everyone from the ultimate Beatles fangirl to anyone needing an interesting elective. Professor Peraino gives great lectures and teaches a very thorough history of The Beatles and the 60's. She sometimes brings out an electric guitar to show how The Beatles (or Rolling Stones) made their music. Peraino teaches the coolest classes.

Comment:

The class was entirely discussion based. Prof. Peraino did a great job facilitating discussions, while still allowing students to direct them. The workload was fair. Sometimes the reading was a lot, but the essays were fun and not terribly long. I took the class for its first semester. It was an unusual combination of topics, but interesting.

Comment:

Assuming you come into the course with some familiarity with rock music, all you need to do to get a good grade is review your lecture notes and copy down powerpoints from section. You also need to memorize random song info. Course is interesting but it gets boring when covering an artist or style you don't enjoy listening to.

Comment:

Parts of the class, such as analyzing song influences that was interesting. Being able to identify specific musical elements was very difficult. For each test, required to memorize 50 song titles, authors, dates, and unique musical characteristics. Lecture-optional, section-mandatory. Take it pass/fail as senior. Not worth the headache as a grade.

Comment:

Excellent class, definitely take it. Section is required, lecture is not, but notes from each are verbatim on tests. Very easy to do well if you go to class and take notes and memorize, but not if you blow it off. Very interesting. Best class I took in 4 years

Comment:

fantastic professor. i took history of rock and loved it. easy and interesting. i had absolutely no musical background and didnt even like classic rock before peraino's class, but that didn't matter, and i gained an appreciation for it because of the class btw, while lecture isnt mandatory, section is and the material covered in section is separate
