Comment:

I took all of Gass' courses and can honestly say they changed my life (and my taste in music). He is easily the most engaging and passionate teacher I've had, teaching with a gripping, transformative emotion and impossibly deep knowledge of his subject matter. His classes are pure music appreciation and the most important education I'll ever have.

He's someone I'll never forget. Almost 20 years out of IU & I still speak of the vibrant way that he spoke about music. The world needs more professors like him.

The best professor I've ever had no question. Teaches many life lessons and is incredibly passionate about what he teaches. Gotta love Glen. Also a very easy class he tells you exactly what you have to know. He's not here to trick you. If you do bad on a test he allows you to take a cumulative final after the regular final to get a better grade.

Glen is one of those professors you always hope you'll have. You'll never meet anyone with more passion for what they teach than him. He has so much knowledge to share and so many stories to tell. He's taught me more about all of my favorite bands than I could ever hope to know and has significantly broadened my horizons, musically. 10/10 recommend

Fascinating lectures, but did not enjoy the class at all. Do not take this class unless you genuinely like rock and roll. You are given an insane amount of songs to listen to and memorize for the test. Don't think you can skip class. Whoever told you that was lying!!! Not a blow off class!!!!

Professor Glass is the best professor I've ever had! Class was taken for a GedEd Credit & VERY glad I took it. Only three exams (well four). There is a fourth exam on the day of the final. It is taken after the final and it is optional. It is cumulative & can be taken to make up an exam or to replace an exam if you did bad. Exam's are easy!!!

Absolutely the worst professor I have had thus far throughout my college career. He is very disorganized and his lectures barely cover what is on the exam. He does not hold any office hours and is very condescending when students asked questions. Left me and others unready for his exams.

Glen is a pretty cool dude and his classes are hilariously easy. Folks will probably drum up google doc pages for test studying, so you don't even have to attend class. Only problem is he's an opinionated codger and presents his thoughts as fact, which is pretty elitist and obnoxious if you happen to be on the wrong end of his hot opinions. So yeah

loved history of rock n roll. glen is an absolute G. going to class and paying attention means that you can skip reading the text book. listen to the assigned music as he goes over it so you won't have to cram. really, this isn't that hard of a class, as long as you do what he says to study.

I took this class for fun and was not disappointed. Glenn is the best. He love the subject matter and it shows. His enthusiasm is infectious! I learned so much about early rock & roll and yet never felt like I was in a lecture. I loved the class so much I'm taking Z202 next semester just because.

I love rock n roll and Prof Gass made me love it even more. He is hilarious, super passionate about what he does, and truly wants everybody in this class to succeed. Hands down one of my favorite professors at IU. If you pay attention in lecture and listen to the songs he provides, it's an easy A.

Glen Gass is without a doubt my favorite professor I have had at IU. He is so passionate about the material his class covers, and conveys the importance effectively to the class. If you have any interest in rock music, take this class. You will not regret it.

HIGHLY recommend taking one of Glenn's classes if you know/care about music even in the slightest bit. I took two of his classes and learned an immense amount! He's incredibly passionate and full of knowledge about almost any musician who has ever walked this earth. If you listen to the songs and take notes in class, the tests aren't very hard.

He's hilarious! He makes class super fun and he really knows what he's talking about. The information he has on this topic is never ending. He gets off on tangents a lot and can get a little boring but he always brings it back. If you can't appreciate music in any way you'll hate this class and waste your time. If you can then you'll love it!
