Easy A. Only grading criteria is attendance (allowed to miss two classes and still get an A). Unfortunately attendance uses a ridiculous app called Tophat, which charges money from students to do what other apps do for free. Musical performances in class are mixed; some are just plain stupid while others are reasonably enjoyable.Rate My Professors ↗

Music 113 is the easiest class at UW, but he makes it harder than it should be with a vague grading policy and an unwillingness to answer questions. On the first day of class, he said "email me with questions", then a few weeks later threatened to lower grades for people emailing him questions. Also, scheduled class day before Thanksgiving.
