Quality 2/5Difficulty 5/5

Her teaching style is terrible. It is all over the place. Very nice outside of class, but her exams are very unrelenting!

Too much work for little credit. All over the place... Makes you memorize a lot of nonsense for exams...

Quality 2/5Difficulty 3/5

This class has all the potential in the world. If you are looking for a fun class to learn about music this is not it. If you want to memorize songs and artists and years that have no ties together at all then this is for you.
