He knows what he's talking about and knows the narrative he would like to cast, from a history perspective. He cares about his students and doesn't care is he's known as an easier grader. Happy Retirement Professor Dill!

Charles Dill is great. He has passion for his work and it shows during his lectures, which manage to make Opera quite intriguing even to those with little or no interest. I got a "C" but only because I slacked hard and missed the generous extra-credit opportunity. Go to class, take notes, do the listening assignments and you'll be set.

I took this class for credit at first and did not expect it to be this fun and inspiring. Professor Dill is a awesome person. His knowledge about operas is astonishing and he lectures them in a very interesting way! The tests are fair, mostly come from his lectures so don't skip them! You will learn a lot from this class.

Chuck Dill is a great professor. The exams/ quizzes are very easy and there are so many extra credit points available that anyone can get an A. You need to go to lectures though because he writes everything on the board.

He seemed like a very knowledgeable person, and he was passionate about the material. However, often times the way he would present things in lecture did not make sense. If you have Andrea as a TA you will be fine! She explains everything so well, and is honestly one of the best TA I have ever had.
