Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Ian is a very good professor. He is straight forward, easy to follow and entertaining. His lectures are very interesting and engaging. I took the course online and I enjoyed the reading materials, videos and podcasts. This class didn't feel like work. It felt like fun because I am very interested in all types of music.

I am in Professor Ian's guitar ensemble. The class is very much fun. He is a great guitar player himself and is insightful with tips on how to improve. He also has great jokes every class!

I only took this class for the units, it was very easy! He lets you take the quizzes twice. There is a lot of reading, but he honestly does all the work for you because there is no need to go looking for other resources. We only had to write 2 essays total with a minimum of 500 words. You learn about Classical, Romanticism, Electronic music, etc.

Prof Bassett presented a very interesting course that used good information sources to connect music, art and society. I learned a lot. It was thought provoking and showed how modern issues are related to historical developments.
