Comment:
I took this course for the winter three weeks session. While working for six days straight I completed the course with an A. There are 24 lessons, each with one easy quiz attached. The reading was easy as well as the lectures(put on the closed caption when watching). Four exams (3 worth 31% of grade and lowest worth 7%). Easy A as long as you work.

Pretty easy class. 4 exams which are really easy to study for. Each exam has 25 questions of regular questions and 25 in which you listen to music and pinpoint certain aspects of each song. Lectures are a bit dry, clicker questions help a lot though. Definitely take the class if you need an art gen ed or are into music.

Pretty easy to get through. It's pretty low effort to pass, takes more to do well. You know what's going to be on the tests and he scales your lowest scoring test to 7%. The remaining 3 are 31% of your grade. The topic seems bland if you aren't into music, but you'll be able to recognize most of the songs. It was quite interesting, in retrospect.

This is a great class to take for a music credit. There are only 4 exams the whole semester and he helps you prepare for those exams using clicker questions at the end of each lecture. This is also how attendance is taken so you cannot miss class. This is the easiest class to get an A in if you just show up to class.

Great guy, really passionate about the music. Its a lot of the music weve all heard before but couldnt put a name to. Notes and the textbook arent really necessary, just pay attention as most exam questions are taken straight from the clicker questions. Had a B test average, but he bumped the overall grade to an A.

Anatole has a true passion for music, and this has a way of emanating throughout the class. He made me appreciate and enjoy a topic I thought I disliked, and he made the class fairly interesting. Easy A if you pay attention in class.

Comment:
This was quite literally the worst class I have ever taken. You can tell he cares and is very knowledgeable of the subject, but his style is outdated. He requires you to buy a $35 clicker, but you don't get credit for attendance. His lectures are boring, and very disorganized (no slides, just random examples). I should've taken a different gen ed.

So incredibly nice and funny! Attendance isn't necessary but it can definitely boost your grade! Exams are basically made up of the iclicker questions that he has at the end of classes so as long as your remember those you're good to go! I wouldn't even bother buying the textbook btw

Anything that could help you boost your gpa, its this class. The online class is very very straight forward and even though Anatole has a hard accent, for the most part he is easy to understand. Expect the lecture videos to be at least 40+ mins each but if you take basic notes, you'll pass the exams. The music is music we've heard as kids.

Comment:
I recommend going on Yik Yak during this class, as it became the place to discuss what we thought was possibly happening. His lectures don't make very much sense, in part due to his thick accent. However, he's a wonderful man and is very willing to help students who ask for it.

He is such a talented person, and his passion for his subject translates into his lectures. He has lots of real life experiances that make him able to explain not just the information but also the history and art behind the music; he tries to get you to look past the academic. Also, he is very kind and willing to answer any questions you have.

Anatole is such a rare person to have as a professor. No matter what he is always there for you and he always tries his hardest to make his students' experiences with him as enjoyable as he can. He is the most passionate teacher I have ever had; he loves everything about what he does and he spreads this to his students. An incredible person.

Comment:
Super easy, and very interesting class. It was oddly refreshing to take a music history class as a senior year engineering student. Tests are very similar to old tests, which are posted online. You will learn a lot about things you think you already know a lot about. If you're not artistically inclined and need a fine arts credit, look no further!

Wieck knows his stuff but embodies an excellent example of how even if you love something to death, making it your life's work can suck the passion right out of you.

If you do your work, like most 100 level courses, then this course is NOT difficult. Weick is engaging and passionate about what he teaches. Youtube videos are uses to enhance the materials frequently, a great addition. Despite what some say he isn't hard to understand at all. I think some people just don't like he because he is foreign. Grow up!

Horrible teacher, doesn't even speak clear english. All you do all class is watch youtube videos that he rambles on about for an hour and 15 minutes. Class was so boring. Don't take class
