Spring 2023 - Great class! Very interesting and knowledgeable professor who worked with some members of the Beatles. While the number of hours in documentaries to watch can be taxing, the class itself is great (especially if you're a big Beatles and music fan). A lot of guests are brought in who knew or worked with the Beatles.
