Reviews of professor Nicholas Akdag

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The class is graded on two lectures and a short quiz every week. This class introduced me to many new artists and bands. It covers many aspects and sub-genres of rock, not just metal or punk. The only requirement for this class is being a music lover with an open mind to new sounds.

Really great and easy-going professor, you can tell he genuinely knows and loves music! His lectures were super interesting to watch that it didn't even feel like work to me. Grade was based on a weekly discussion where you talked about rock songs and a quiz on the lecture. Seems really understanding and lowkey, would definitely recommend.

Professor Akdag's class was very easy. If you love listening to music and learning about new music, this is the class for you. He is a very easy grader, and he really cares about differing musical taste. Highly recommend if you need to take a required elective course. Some of my favorite Rock and Roll bands and artists were discovered in his class.

I gave an average for class work difficulty as there is reading, video's, and homework.  If you enjoy music and history, and do the class work, then you will be good to go; otherwise it might be a hard class.

Fun class to take, especially if you enjoy learning about music from back then. Overall his grading was clear just test, lectures and discussions. No final when I took him.

I am new to this college but this professor is an amazing one he had a fair amount of quizzes but if you watched the videos and watched his prerecorded zoom it was very easy. The work has to be done the day of but other than that I really enjoyed this class a lot!

Your grade is based on daily online quizzes, a concert report, a midterm and final exam. The quizzes are straightforward and simple. He posts the lecture online so you can use it during the quiz. The other big assignments are a bit more work but you should have no problem with them, especially if you're a good writer. Love this guy.
