Professor Ilic taught Music History 70 on the life and works of Beethoven. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and now have a new appreciation for classical music. I went into the class blind since there were on reviews on her, and would like to give other students the opportunity to know what a great class Music History 70 truly was. There was a midterm, paper and final, with minimal outside reading and want other students to know how amazing this class was. I took it as a GE and LOVED it!!!

Fall 2021 - I would disagree with other reviews of this class. It was really hard, but ultimately I learned a lot and have a greater appreciation for the music and life of Beethoven. Even though the lectures were not super engaging because they were in a huge lecture hall with only about 50 people in it, I know that the professor cares a lot about the content and about his students. The content of the class was often really interesting and I loved the readings. My TA was super helpful and engaging which made me like the class a lot more. I definitley wouldn't recommend taking this class if you do not have a background in music/music theory, as the listening quizzes require having a good ear. Overall I am glad I took this course and feel like I gained something from it, despite the challenge.

Spring 2016 - Class is very straightforward and easy to understand. Professor Rowen does a great job of explaining concepts. There is a lot of reading, but not very many assignments. Well structured class that should definitely be taken if you are in need of an Arts GE. Would highly recommend!
