Comment:

Anyone who goes to Wagner knows about this guy and to avoid him. But eventually, you may have to take him depending on your major. I had to do the most to get through his class. Its not hard, he makes it hard. Lecture is the worst, and doesnt teach what he is giving out. Extremely mind boggling, and very confusing. He doesnt care at all, AVOID

This is by far the worst professor Ive ever had. Im a transfer student, and hes making me wish I Didnt transfer. Wagner needs a new person to take from this guy. grades like your life really depends on it. Instead of giving pointers, he criticizes it! No help at all, syllabus is just disabled. I heavily consider not taking him! Save yourself!

This was the only class I had problems with. He is a very tough grader, very specific, very boring when he lectures, and he loves hearing himself talk. Would not recomend taking a class with him, if it's a choice.

Thank god I have a background in music because this class was a nightmare. Even if you do have a background in music I still say avoid at all costs unless you are literally Beethoven reincarnate bc this professor is a tough grader and will drag you. I studied constantly to get through this class.

I was in his LC and he was my advisor. He was condescending and rude. He has a bad reputation on campus. He tries for participation, but he's rude when giving feedback on student answers. My first advisor meeting with him was a traumatizing experience and I have brought my concerns to "higher-ups" here because he should not be a FY prof.

Schulenberg is a smart man and is very talented in the music field which is cool, but he does not understand that 99% of his students are there for a gen ed. his lectures are the full 1.5 hours and are boring as hell. his tests are SO hard compared to what he teaches. hes annoying & has a passive attitude that no one needs at 940am. dont take him

worst class i have ever taken. Don't be fooled with the title of the course, you have to have some musical conception before taking this class. if you don't know anything about music and have no interest in listening to Beethoven or Mozart blasting in your ear drums 9:40 in the morning then don't take this class. and btw he never lets you out early

Dr. Schulenberg is a very smart man. He knows his stuff. But I do not recommend him as a professor. Don't take his class. He is extremely condescending. No one even want to try in his class because of his attitude and all he does is lecture. B- is his favorite grade. Also, he has his own citation format that makes no sense for a college course.

Comment:

I learned a lot of stuff in this class and, while Dr. Schulenberg can be very condescending, his grading is very fair. His grades are set on a curve, so it is nearly impossible to fail if you have a good background in music prior to taking this class Also, like him or not, he is a world-class harpsichordist. We get to see him perform for free.

He is very self-absorbed and very hard to talk to. It's hard to be right in his class as he always has to be right/have the last word. I did not like the class at all, and we all shared an interest in disliking him throughout the course.

Comment:

he's a brilliant baroque scholar, which means you have to actually know about music to do well--you need a working knowledge of at least basic theory and music history. his lectures are dull but he usually chooses good music and if you have some classical training you should be fine. if you don't... maybe take Delfausse.

Oh, D. Schules...the person below me spits the truth. I had him last year, and waking up for a 9:40 with him was never fun. He does have a big ego and does wear the stupid fanny pack...just wait till he makes you listen to him play his harpsichord...twice. The way to survive the class: bring a laptop.

This professor wears a fanny pack to class every day. He CANNOT stand still and it is very distracting. His lectures are extremely boring and one day we're all going to be suffocated by his ego. He tends to rip people apart about their writing IN CLASS and he likes to tell everyone that they don't know anything about music. I HATE HIS CLASSES!!!

Oh my gosh. Don't get me wrong, he is a very educated man...but he is NOT a professor. I don't think he knows how to teach! Lecturing for and hour and a half without stopping is not teaching. He is so hard and SOOOOO BORING!

First of all his name is spelled Schulenburg, with a u not an e. He's a very smart man, but he's so very boring and teaches straight out of the book. He grades all over the place without a really concrete way of doing things. He appreciates good writers. Be careful about telling him your future, he has a tendency to shoot dreams down.

Not incredibly hard but kind of boring. Very knowledgable about music and taking his class gave me a new appreciation for classical music but like I said, Boring professor. If you can sit through it take it, it's a good grade.
