Comment:
A really easy A. Don't take it if you're a serious music learner. Take it for relaxing your mind and having fun with music. He definitely has a real passion about music and his goal for this class is merely making you know how music can help cure our life. He's strict about using electronics and doesn't allow you to sit alone though.

Comment:
He is really sweet. Take this class if you would like an easy A. If you are someone, who doesn't have any music background, then the beginning classes might be a little annoying. He teaches the musical notation, and rythm during the beginning. If you don't know those, get help from the TA. After that, it's just listening to music.

Only 1 music theory test and 2 listening exams. Can skip final if you are happy with exam grades. Play piano first 5 minutes of class, but hates when students don't look at him while he play so he knows you're not on your phone. Puts too much effort in making sure people don't cheat. Easy class if you like listening to music. Gets boring sometimes.

Great professor. Everybody takes this for an easy FA1 and they are right to do so. It is simple to get an A; almost no work throughout the semester but you do need to show up. I would also recommend taking this course because it is interesting. I still listen to the music that we were tested on (classic music helps with studying). Take this class.

Professor Sapieyevski is extremely passionate, enthusiastic, and entertaining. Every class begins with him playing the piano (very nice for the first class of the day) and then goes to him playing music and talking about it. He makes everyone want to love music as much as he does. Just don't use your phone! He's great though, take his class :)

This class is almost 3 free Gen Ed credits. The entire grade is based in showing up to class, passing a very simple pass/fail test, and passing two very easy music matching tests that you get a month to prep for. If you need Area 1 Gen Ed credit, take this class!!

He's really passionate about music and loves to teach. Really easy class - as long as you show up, somewhat pay attention, and study the music pieces a little, you will get an A. No homework or textbook and just one pass/fail test along with 2 music listening tests. Take this class, it's an easy GenEd!

Take this class! If you can recognize different classical music pieces well, this will be an easy class for you. He's very laid back, knowledgeable and loves to teach! Grades are based on a music theory test and music listening tests. Make a playlist on your iPod and study that way. If you have an A in the class, you don't have to take the final!

TAKE THIS CLASS. Easiest class at American-especially if you have ANY (recorder in elementary school counts) music background. 2 listening tests on classics and optional final. Most of the class received an A- or above. No textbooks, no homework, no papers, no quizzes. Jerzy is talented and adorable, just don't sleep, text, or eat in class!!

This class was great! Learned a lot, and now I'm interested in classical music, something I hated before! This is a music appreciation class, super easy, pay attention, show up, easy A, plus he's hilarious. Towards the end of the semester you'll hate it because you could use that class time for your actual work, but it's a nice break from homework.

People might say that this is the easiest class ever, which it is if you give like a 50% effort, but I actually learned a lot from Jerzy. He gave me a different perspective on life and changed my views about classical music. Your final is 100% of your grade if you want it to be and all you have to do is listen to 20 songs and identify them. DO IT

The easiest A ever and that's the point. A total waste of time. Even if you want to do no work and steal an A, this is still ajoke. Made me feel bad that I did so little. He's also incoherent most of the time. Thinks he's hot stuff. Nope. A looser.

He's wonderful! Tests are easy but he's extremely engaging. He's very animated and always in a good mood, makes a lot of jokes. I loved that he played so much piano and acted out the pieces of music we were learning about. Only downside is that attendance is mandatory. Highly recommended!

Prof. is amazing and loves music. Great person and keeps the class alive. Tests are straight forward just make sure you go to class for attendance. No one ever fails unless you show up to NONE of the class or the tests. Great class! I recommend taking it.

Comment:
He's crazy, eccentric, but most of all interesting. Even if you don't like music, this is a good gen-ed class to take. Tests are pretty much all listening and identifying different musical compositions, so just pay attention in class and you'll come away with a good grade.
