To the poster below: let's be more respectful with our criticism. There was some disorganization within her chronologically organized course plan. She points out some interesting things about them music business. Very nice professor, really does not want to fail you but there is a lot of reading she assigns. Both midterm and final are multiple choice but she does curve to the highest score so hopefully you score near the top. There is extra credit and an essay where everyone gets 100 (worth 30% of grade). So overall it's ok
