MUSIC 113
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Grade consists of weekly 5 question quizzes that I think are more like attendance points (I don't think you lose points for incorrect answers.) The last class you take a 40 point final that is super easy if you look over the online study materials.

Basically show up to pass. You can take this class up to 3 times for credit as well which is nice. Each semester has different programs, so it can be hit or miss. Some weeks were super engaging, but others were hard to sit through. Studied off my phone walking to class for the final and got 100%.

SO EASY. TAKE IT. You don't even have to have the right answers every week, as long as you fill out the whole scantron you get the attendance points. The final is the easiest test I have taken since elementary school, no lie. You get ten wrong answers for free on the final. Take this class if you wanna help your GPA.

Clap for credit. Listen to music, clap, answer easy multiple-choice questions, get an A. You literally could not mess this up if you tried. The pieces of music are pretty diverse and generally interesting. If you're gonna take this, be a good listener and try not to talk during the performances.
