Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
A really easy class. Just have some quizzes to do. If you get most of the questions right in the quizzes, you will get an A. Extremely easy class. Take it!!!

Quality 4/5Difficulty 1/5
Clap for a credit was super fun. One word of advice before you take this class is research what instrument the professor plays. Prof Vallon plays bassoon so it was a very jazz and brass heavy class. Wish there was more classical/orchestral music. Otherwise, no complaints!
