Winter 2024 - Take this class. It's super fun, and an easy A, as long as you submit the assignments and put some effort in. This quarter she started an Iclicker thingy so a portion of your grade was attendance (you got to miss 2 lectures b4 it started to affect your grade but they had excused absences). My TA introduced me to a ton of cool music, and we kind of learn about the different ways of listening so it's kind of cool. The lectures are two hours so they can get kind of long (oh and they close the doors after 10 minutes so you can't come in if you are late), but other than that, this class was great. The professor was really nice. Most of your grade was attendance but 20% was from the concert reports (10% each) you go to (you can join the live and not go in person too). Another 20% was for the weekly response papers you wrote (8 total). and 20% for the final paper. One thing I didn't like was I felt like I didn't really understand how they were grading. In my first concert report I got a 95% but I felt like I had put in a ton of effort and my second concert report was written in haste the night before and i got a 100% (I'm aware I'm complaining about nothing, but I just felt like the grading was randomly assigned sometimes). I never got below a 90 on anything though so idk i guess it is what it is. The lectures also put me onto some great songs and songwriters. We had some phenomenal guest lecturers too.
