Quality 3/5Difficulty 2/5

The class is really easy but Darien moves really quickly. It is hard to follow his slides and when critiqued on it he said it was our responsibility to get it all down or weed out what is important. He's knowledgeable about the subject but doesn't know how to teach it to others in a way that isn't condescending.

Darien is a great professor! He makes class engaging and fun. We did a few workshops in this class, which were really interesting. He is obviously very passionate and talented when it comes to music. He gets the whole class involved and is always willing to meet for appointments. Not too hard of a class but make sure to go!
