MUSIC 113

This course is "clap for credit" you show up each week listen to music and the quiz answers are posted on the board. Last class is for extra credit if you missed one. Super easy A

Johanna is so sweet! She really loves music, and by the end of this class, you will to. Class is a super easy A - just show up, listen to the pieces, and then take a quick quiz and write a short paragraph afterwards to earn your points.

Good professor. Clap for credit! Canvas quizzes occasionally had questions that could not reasonably be answered even after attending the lecture.
