I absolutely loved prof. Massinon! He is so understanding if you have to miss class, and is easy to work with. You get to use flashcards with the answers on them for you midterm and final. If you have to take a music class of any kind, take him!

Super long and boring lectures. I have trouble staying awake. You do get to use notecards on the exams.

If you've ever read Tuesday's with Morrie? He's Morrie. He is my favorite professor because he is so entertaining and so understanding. He basically reads the test to you before you take it and you get to use notecards on them. He doesn't grade his 2 papers hard at all and honestly his class was the highlight of my Tuesday's and Thursday's.

Very nice guy. All you have to do is: go to 2 performances, write 2 papers (super easy and no format necessary), 2 tests, show up and not play on your phone during class.

Comment:

Massinon is a friendly old man who appreciates all different types of music. He literally reads his tests out loud to you the day before, and he is very understanding with absences. His outlook on life is beautiful, and I have never had a more mellow class or teacher. I would definitely recommend him to anyone because he gets along with everyone.

Mr. Massinon is great! He is very passionate about his job. Some people say he is confusing but honestly any theory class is confusing. It is necessary to buy the books for his classes.

Comment:

He might be a good teacher for other things but NOT for Theory. He makes things very complicated. He is a fun and lovable person outside of class but in class he'll make you pull your hair out. If you are the kind of person who needs things broken down simple, Massinon is NOT for you.

SUPER easy! You only have 2 exams and 2 short papers, so you must to well. However, he grades the papers easily, and he reads the exams to you the day before and you get to have a notecard to use on the test. Unexcused absenses mean you lose a letter grade, but just email him if you can't make it to class. Highly recommend!

This is a wonderful professor. I remember the first day we listened to Buckcherry to try and hear the different instruments. Attendance is mandatory. He accepts excuses-email him! 2 exams (midterm and final) and one short paper. He allows an index card and reads the test to you prior to. Requires attendance to 1 concert. Loved him. Highly recommend

Mr. Massinon is a wonderful teacher. He is too easy if you do not pass his class, apparently you're not attending it! That's basically what you're doing! As for mid-term too easy. I can't say about the final yet bc I'm currently enrolled in class but I love this guy and would recommend him to anyone! Easy A+!!!!!

the only bad thing about massinon is attendance is MANDATORY. he is SO EASY though. you just sit there and listen to him talk. you only have to go to 1 concert and you get a 100 just for going. he gives you the midterm/final questions before it and you can write the answers on a note card and bring it to the test.

this class is so easy. you lose a letter grade for not showing up, but if you email him he, he pretty much accepts anything as an excuse. he's nice, pretty chill, super random. easy class tells you everything that will be on the exam; and only requires one concert review, and an album review. thats it.

As long as you make an attempt to show up you'll be fine. He takes excuses so just e-mail him when you miss. It's an extremely easy class, he's a cool guy. Very sarcastic but his lectures are quite boring. But if you just want an easy credit and a pretty chill teacher take him, seriously.

He is the funniest teacher I have right now. Great humor. Easy class. The mid term was super easy, he tells you exactly what will be on the test, and let's you have a notecard. :) RECOMMENDED!

Take him for every music class you possibly can. He's completely insane, but in a good way. I loved being in his class.
