Comment:
Professor Shay is so nice and very dedicated to music appreciation. His class was definitely easy the follow. The only problem with him was he sometimes struggles with doing stuff online, so please take it easy on him. This class does group work and gives extra points for those who turn on their camera. I actually made some friends and it was great

Comment:
Prof. Shay is a really sweet man. There's a paper for each topic and they don't really have concrete prompts. He values your interpretation of the music over anything. He really cares about other people's thoughts/lives and how they can incorporate that into the music. Really interesting and awkwardly funny guy. Pretty lenient with some things too!

This class has recently been reworked to cut down on tests. This has caused for an increase in papers. You will have one paper 8 page per chapter, as well as a listening test. He is a pretty easy grader. If you go to class, you should do well.

Comment:
This class was interesting. Professor Shay definitely has a unique personality. The quizzes are difficult if you don't have the book and the listening tests can be brutal. When he tries to explain something he's all over the place. If he sees you not taking notes he will call you out. Can be confusing as to what he wants. Papers are difficult too.

LOVED HIM! Such a fun class! It probably helps to have an interest in classical music, but even if you don't, he makes it interesting. The tests are wicked easy, and the papers were right down my alley. Really, such a fun, intriguing class.
