Comment:
I highly recommend Dr. Braus to any student who wants to learn something truly useful in a lifetime. I took several courses from him. Frankly speaking, his course is one of the most difficult courses in all the schools I have attended. However, you can indeed learn useful things for yourself. If you cherish your tuition in Hartt, take his course.

Comment:
This is by far one of the best professor I ever had. Even though he is disorganized in how he assembles all of the materials necessary for the class, this is a minor detail in his teaching. He is very engaging, and brilliant but not condescending. I think of his class often and the impact that it had on me. Highly recommend him!

A friendly, highly intelligent man. I thoroughly enjoyed his class and learned a lot from him. His grading system is very straightforward; if you do the work, show up, and pay attention, you can get an A. "Three gold stars" for Prof. Braus!

Comment:
I think Braus was an excellent teacher. A bit tangential at times, but extremely brilliant. He genuinely wishes to convey his enthusiasm for the wrk to his students, and if people cannot see past his crooked glasses and messy hair, they've got to re-assess their standards of perception. Bravo for Dr. Braus!

Contrary to the rest of these comments, I thought Ira was a kick-ass teacher. For real, yo. The second semester of music history sophomore year, the semester where we talked about Debussy and Stravinksy-- that class was the ****ing bomb! What more could one ask for than to have a class where all you do is listen to and talk about music? I remember taking the final exam at 8 am on a Saturday morning, still **** off my ass from the night before, and I aced it! I really learned a lot from that class.

The guy would come into class with his shoes untied, hair a mess, crooked glasses, etc. Hes a total MESS. His appearance is laughable and his teaching is deplorable.

He's a FOOL! And his class is tragic. Don't bother going to class, just get the homework sheets and take the tests. It is not worth waking up for the class...and he does not take attendence...ever

So boring. I have started a collection of drawings I make of him in class. They are getting pretty good. For the year and a half I will have him, I will see how many drawings I can come up with in the end. He is so boring. Did I mention you bore me Ira
