This is a fun class. Attendance is mandatory because of all the listening done in class. I'm taking him again this semester because I like him so much.

Comment:
Had him for Music Appre: He is hysterical. He has a quirky sense of humor but after you learn it- you'll love him. He laughs at his own stories and jokes which sometimes can be funny. Material is ridiculously hard but if you get to know him and he knows your name outside of class then you'll get an A. He wants you to pass. I recommend him!

Literally the coolest teacher I have ever meant. He is a world renown piano player and he plays often in class. Would help me change my tire if I asked him. Great guy if you dont take him your missing out. Plus the class is not hard at all, i took the 100 and now i am taking the next one.

Prof. Ashley is amazing. He is such a sweet guy and I highly recommend taking him for music appreciation and whatever else you can.. he is really funny in a rather dry way and his class is really easy. He goes over everything you should know the day before the test =) he is wonderful

Prof. Ashley is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He really wants to get to know students and make class fun and easy. The course is very loosely structured, few assignments and grading is easy. His class is actually relaxing, everyone looks forward to it. His stories are great and so are his plaid shirts.

Comment:
He is such a nice and funny man!! Classes are boring and dont really matter if you go because you dont really miss anything because he gives a review the day before the test and tells you everything you need to know. His tests are usually 25 questions long and they are very basic questions. The only hard part is the listening questions.

Doc Ashley is an awesome teacher who is very compassionate about music literature. His tests are in-class essays and he also has 2 listening exams. Use the book to study for exams and you should do well. Dr. Ashely is a world renowned musican and a pretty awesome guy to be around.

Professor Ashley is the most genuine teacher I have ever had. He cares about his students and has a passion for both his students and music. The class isn't that bad as long as you listen to what the man has to say, and he's a really great guy so you should definitely take him!

One of the best professors I've ever had! Class can be boring at times if you don't like music, but you shouldn't take the class if thats the case. Take him!

Dr. Ashley is the sweetest man! (He is also a fabulous piano player if you get the chance to hear him.) His exams can be tough but if you listen in class he basically gives away the exact questions to be on the tests. The listening portions are a little tricky.. there's not much you can do about that though. Its all practice!

Dr. Ashley is hilarious. He is such a nice man, and his music aprreciation class was relatively easy. He always made class intersting with his funny anecdotes about random things. Sometimes his tests were a little hard, but go to class and take notes, and you should be fine. I recommend him to everyone.

Dr.Ashley's class is so fun. You just listen to good music and he tells funny little anecdotes. He's very straightforward about the tests(2 essay tests and 2 listening)both are easy if you pay attention and go to class.

He is soooo incredibly boring. But very easy!!! I went to class MAYBE once a week and still got an A in the class. He has no attendance policy and only two exams and a final. All are very easy!!! If you don't care anything about music app. take him cause its an easy A.

An easy A, but you have to come to class and take notes. The class can get boring, but come see him before the test and he will practically go over it question for question. He is a brilliant man with great stories, but he gets annoyed when people only show up for the test.

His class is super easy. You never have to show up for class except to take the tests and for review day. On review day, he tells you exactly what is going to be on the test. Some of the tests have some listening exercises you have to study for, but other than that it is an easy "A".

Comment:
For those who only come to class to take the tests...he only takes off for spelling when he suspects a student has cheated...and he is not as clueless as suggested. Knows the whole class by name and where students sit by the end of the second week of class.
