Fall 2023 - Mr. Beamer's class was a fun class! He brought in a great variety of speakers (a couple are mentors of mine now) and he facilitated great discussions, and I loved the harvard simulations he incorporated into the course. He put in a lot of effort to make the material engaging. he was very understanding when I had to miss class due to scheduling conflicts, which was a big help. That said, I felt like there could have been more support from the music school in terms of resources and technology. It seemed like Mr. Beamer was doing his best with limited tools, and with more backing, the class could have been even better. Despite these challenges, he made the most of what was available and created a worthwhile learning environment. A kind soul!
