Comment:
He's extremely rude. He chooses favorites and makes them quite obvious. If you're not one of them, you don't really benefit from the class. You read A LOT and learn very little. He's super attractive but doesn't appreciate any opinion other than his own. It sucks that for certain tracks, he's unavoidable.

Super nice and approachable, intelligent beyond words, and eager to help or explain anything you might not understand. The class is tough, but it'll be your favorite class of the semester.

Comment:
He clearly knows what he's talking about and will never hesitate to answer a question fully. I feel humbled whenever we meet to talk about projects. He is a very strict grader as well as attendance taker. If you miss class three times all semester, you fail--no excuses. But you absolutely shouldn't miss it, as it's the hardest and best class ever.

Comment:
This guy is a real jerk. He yells at people for no reason, and tells people not to play pianos in practice rooms (isn't that what they're there for? practicing!!)

Comment:
You love him, then hate him, then love him again. He is a very smart man who loves his job, but his lectures can be boring and the copious articles he assigns are almost always completely useless. Very tough grader, but improves writing markedly.

I loved his class. He's a genius and has a great sense of humor. I loved listening to his lectures and to him talking about music. It's obvious that it's his passion. Not an easy prof. but fair. I would definitely take a class with him!

Extremely snobby, with no respect for people with different opinions. It's his way or none at all.

One of the best professors I've had, and one of the most encouraging and challenging. Knows his stuff. Expects you to know yours. You'll work hard but you won't regret it.

Pound is one of the smartest professors I have met here. He makes you work, but on the other hand he really whipped my writting into shape.
