Comment:
Professor Yeager is very kind, accommodating, and responds quickly to emails. The class itself consists of a midterm, final (non-cumulative), one paper, and mainly weekly quizzes that contain questions from the reading, lecture, and around 20 song samples from various artist. Overall it is an easy A, and the material itself is pretty interesting.

Professor Yeager is one of the best music professor I've had. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about music knows so much and you can actually take a lot away from him from his lectures alone. Great music selection choices. Test weekly and then midterm and final. All doable and based from lectures and PDF materials. Not hard at all. Take him!

BEST CLASS FOR ART GE!!! Super duper easy and actually interesting! The class took very little effort, and Yeagers weekly lectures were usually under 20 minutes! Very easy to find resources to study from online that are exactly like the test. There were no stupid busy work assignments, instead just a weekly test which was short, and 1 paper due.

Comment:
Music151 was a very cool class, and I appreciated the opportunity to learn about the history of American music. The tests, midterm, final, and paper were easy enough, but you have to memorize the sound of 20 songs for each module (there were 14 modules). That means that for the midterm and final you had to be able to recognize 140 different songs.

Prof Yeager is very passionate about music and you can tell that through his lectures. While this class was an easy GE, Yeager made it very enjoyable to learn from him. There are weekly quizzes, a midterm, a final (not cumulative), and 2 papers. When there was a problem, Yeager was quick to fix it. I highly recommend his class!

Taken online (covid)Easiest GE I have taken and professor Yeager is caring and passionate about music. Weekly tests that are worth 2 points and 2 papers at the end of the semester that are each worth 11 points or 25% each. He doesn't take late work but I put minimal effort into the class, quizzes took me 10 min per week. Easy GE I highly recommend!

Music 151 online is a super-easy way to complete your GE requirement. Professor Yeager's lectures are great and he selects an awesome collection of music for students to listen to. All the weekly tests are online. The paper due at the end of the semester is very easy as well. I really enjoyed this class and encourage everyone to take it.

You can tell he cares about music and that's what makes him so great. The class wasn't too difficult. Weekly tests were a great opportunity to learn some new music. I highly recommend if you need a GE art credit!

Music 151 is an easy A to get your credits. There are only tests every Wednesday that are easy to cheat. There is 1 paper that is easy you just write about your favorite song. The concert review you just go to a concert at state (required) and then write about it.

Easiest online class ever. All the info/answers are online. The only in person requirement is attending a jazz concert and writing a review. The class is actually really interesting and super fun. Highly recommend for an easy A.

Very easy class. The only thing we had to do besides the weekly homework was to go to a concert recital that he conducted which was actually very fun. I loved learning about the different music of different decades, just make sure you have Shazam and Google available for the tests.

This class is an easy A if you keep up with the work. There's weekly 50 questions exams with 25 questions that are easy to find on Quizlet, & 25 questions that are 10 second samples of random songs from lecture. There's a required jazz concert you have to attend/ write an analytical essay about. There's also a final essay. Easy class if you keep up

Easy A class if you do the work. All you have to do is take notes on simply textbook pages and the lectures but the material is easily understood and interesting. There are quizzes with music identification and a midterm and final that follow the same format along with one final paper. Definitely take this class fully online if you get the chance.

All the module test are on Quizlet which is super easy to find. The midterm and final got changed to be taken at a testing center so make sure you study beforehand. There's 2 paper you need to write which is a Youtube review paper and a jazz concert review which are both super easy. He gives a lot of extra credit concerts for you to attend to.

Took this class the first semester where the midterm and exam were online, which was a little frustrating. The chapter tests are super easy and you get three attempts. Two easy papers. The questions and answers for all the exams and finals are online. You just have to put in a little work to learn the songs. Also there are free concerts for EC.

This class was okay. The class is made up of weekly modules w/quizzes, a jazz concert, midterm, and final. The class mainly focuses on rock, country, and jazz and less on music that is considered pop. His midterm and final exam have to be taken in the testing center and theyre pretty hard, theres too many artists/facts to memorize for the exams

I took this class expecting an insanely easy outcome, however I did have to work hard to get the grade I did. It's the first time he's had a midterm in the testing center, you CANNOT do well if you don't study beforehand (same goes for final). Professor Yeager genuinely loves what he does and it shows in the concert.

The quiz answers are on quizlet, SAVE THE QUIZLET YOU USE SO YOU CAN STUDY FOR THE MIDTERM&FINAL or MAKE YOUR OWN QUIZLET!! Yes the midterm and final are proctored now so you cannot cheat. As long as you receive A's on all the quizzes and both papers you can manage at least a C, study so you can get 50%+ on exams. He allows you to redo quizzes 3x.
