    "comment": "Pretty good professor, I don't really have any complaints. The class itself is very easy as long as you read. Quizzes focused on terms and concepts from the reading mostly, your discussion group does a good job at preparing you for those. The tests focus more on the listenings in class and in the reading as well as the timeline of the reading.",

Just read the material and memorize it a day or two before the test/quiz. Would not recommend b/c it is a bad class  but isn't that difficult. ",

You do listen to some music, and he tells you beforehand which ones he expects you to be able to identify upon hearing it. He doesn't always seem the nicest. I've heard him say some demeaning stuff. The TAs are pretty awesome.",
