Comment:
Just don't. Super confusing and did not get anything out of this class. Had to write a 10-page paper on the history of rock music in Argentina, went to the writing center for help, and still got a 73. Then I b.s. another assignment and somehow get a 90.

Comment:
This was simply a class I used to fulfill a core and I really wish I picked anything else. If you're not a music major, you probably won't like the class. The exams seem easy but It's kinda tricky. I don't recommend this class for people that are not music majors or people that need this class to fulfill a core. I didn't like it at all

Must do all assignments or you're screwed. She clearly loves music and wants you to learn but learning is mainly what you do. This class you do not listen to music the whole time. Every class is a lecture. The tests are impossible if you don't study and even if you study, youre not guaranteed an A. Term paper at the end, 4 tests.

Took her TSEM class, she's a nice lady but sometimes unclear on expectations. I personally think TSEM is a pointless waste of time class in general, Prof. Magaldi wasn't too bad though, would recommend your look at all the tsems and pick one that REALLY interests you. 10 page paper at the end then another final exam paper:/

Comment:
This was absolutely ridiculous for a gen ed.. I'm a senior now in the Business School at Towson and in all my years I never experienced a gen ed or teacher like this. She acts like your a music major when it's a freaking gen ed. Hardest gen ed I've ever taken, she can be extremely rude, confusing, and her tests impossible for no reason.

She's a really nice lady but her class is so boring. The test are annoying even though its multiple choice she gives the choices "All of the above"&"None of the above"so its super tricky. you have to study pretty hard. She gives a FIVE PAGE paper writing a review for a CD which is impossible due final day and a final! dont take unless music major!

This was absolutely ridiculous for a gen ed. Absolutely do not take take this class, it is WAY too much work for a gen ed. The tests a ridiculously hard, and you have study for it for hours just to get a passing grade. She also just rambles on and on and on about nothing interesting the slightest bit. She should only be teaching music majors!!!

Super nice, I liked her. Class was very organized and posted all power points online. Probably would have gotten an A if I studied more and bought the book. She rambles a lot & her accent is thick, but she's very knowledgeable & passionate about music. Don't buy the CD, its online for free! Gives out study guides w/ everything you need for the test

For an introductory course this is a pretty hard class. She's very nice and helpful but the material is just so boring. You definitely have to work for an A or B and tests are very tricky.

Pretty terrible professor. She is so difficult to understand because she mumbles and her accent is thick. She tries to be funny, tells a lot of stories and rambles like crazy. The tests are long, about 6 pages each and you have to study for them because paying attention in class is so difficult. E reserves, used for studying material, rarely works

awful class. She rambles on about everything and anything pertaining to music history and has no organization in her lecture. Can't use your cell phone but she lets kids fall asleep and play on computers. I pass/failed the class so I wouldn't have to put effort into something that's not going to help me in the future. not recommended!

Her class was okay. Not my fave, but definitely easy. Three tests, one paper. Study ahead, it really helps. It was somewhat enjoyable because she actually interacted with us instead of lecturing. Nice woman, but still a dry class. Only take her if you need an easy GenEd.

Dr. Magaldi was a very good professor and she was very nice. The first two or three classes it may be hard to understand her, but you will adapt. Overall, this class was a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. Keep up the good work Dr. Magaldi.

This class is pretty easy. 3 tests that aren't too hard. She is cool and knows a lot about the music. There is one 3 page paper that is not too bad and you get to pick the topic. No textbook and no need to take notes, just pay attention. She does take attendance but its not bad going to class and listening to music.
