Reviews of professor Frank Dan DiPiero

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Several smaller essays leading up to one big essay. Readings are required for essays and pop-quizzes. Mandatory attendance, and a lot of group discussions. Really focuses on race in music in the past and now.

There are lots of readings. Usually I skim them. The only time you need deeper info from them is for the papers. This prof is a clear communicator and if you are into music and history, then this class might be for you. However, be mindful that one of the readings is the Communist Manifesto and there is an expectation for you to agree with it...

mandatory attendance, but gives you up to 3 absences without it effecting your grade. There is only 4 papers that the majority of your grade is based on and 5 short pop quizzes. A lot of reading, but he wont quiz on the super hard readings. he does a good job explaining all concepts which you will need to know to do good on the essays.
