Spring 2020 - I absolutely love this man! He is so passionate about history and his students. I took this class as a GE, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. He said on the first day that he wanted everyone to get an A. If you did the readings, you were set to do well. He was super entertaining during lecture, and I want to take more of his classes. Highly recommend.

Winter 2020 - Although sometimes Professor Brown can be vague, his lecture was always so interesting, and it was easy to see that he was enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge. He's a fantastic lecturer, and honestly has the voice of a motivational speaker. He keeps your attention throughout the entire lecture, and is very helpful when questions are asked during class.

Dr.Brown is a pretty nice guy. The seminar class consisted of weekly assignments (1page long), a presentation, and finally the BIG paper. The cool part was that the research paper for the 99 class was not that big of a deal. All the reasearch was the material that we read throughout the quarter and that material was not in a CR but online so you could just print it out (He didn't want us to spend our $ on course readers). Overall, he's a pretty understanding person. RECOMMENDED? Definitely. He's really nice and not a bad grader at all! If your looking to take him for the upper division seminars he said that he'll be alittle tougher on you. So Good Luck!

A very fun & informative class! Professor Brown is one of the best lecturers on campus. He makes so many insightful points about a broad spectrum of American life that surrounded the music, which really brings a deeper level of analysis than most music history classes have. Like the review below said, there's 2 Midterm tests & a final paper. For the midterm ID's, make sure you write down as much information as you remember, regardless of what the recommended page length is, and you'll get a great grade. The final paper is easy to write because it's on a music topic that YOU choose. Make a strong thesis argument, then use lyrical analysis and/or sound analysis to back it up.
