Fall 2017 - Professor Roberson is AMAZING!! Super chill class! Literally just singing gospel music. Perfect class for anyone with any level of musical experience. No sheet music, just listen and learn. Professor Roberson does a great job on engaging the class by encouraging everyone to sing out to the fullest. Attendance is crucial to get an "A" in the class. The only writing required is one short, two-paged, double-spaced paper. I really enjoyed this class and will definitely be taking it again! Great way to earn extra units! HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Winter 2024 - The best class I have taken at UCLA. Not only did I learn so much about how to actually sing, but I learned more about African American Culture than I did in my diversity credit writing class. Dr. Dee is simply the best person on the planet, the most kind, helpful, and caring professor on UCLA's Campus. I HIGHLY recommend that everyone take this class regardless of their interest in Music. It is fun, it is easy, and I always left smiling.
