Reviews of professor William Robin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I had the most terrible experience with this professor. He grades so tough for an ELECTIVE class. This class is no easy A in any ways. The homework is about 4-5 assignments per week and a 2-3 paragraph assignment attached each week also. There's a SIX PAGE ESSAY due after every module (there's 5 modules). English didn't even do that. Please RUN.

Professor Robin is truly awesome. Dont take this class if youre not interested in music, but if you are, I would highly recommend. He is so helpful and accommodating and the TAs are awesome as well. Not a ton of work for the class, just show up to the lectures and put in a little bit of effort and youll do great.

he's passionate about music. very accommodating. the class was one of the easiest gen-eds at umd. weekly assignments take less than 20min to do, and he is a very easy grader.

You don't need the textbook and you have to take notes in class. Papers are long and pretty useless. Lecture is boring. Only fun part was listening to music and learning different kinds of it. Exams were fairly easy, but you have to memorize vocab, songs by ear, and write 2 essays on things gone over in class (They are pretty ez).
