Reviews of professor Peter Askim

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
One of the best professors I have ever had. There is homework before every lecture but its completion based and usually pretty interesting. The biggest thing is that Askim is very approachable and will work with you He genuinely cares for his students. You really do not have to worry about grades so you can just focus on enjoying the discussions.

Dr. Askim was an amazing host for this seminar course on changes in contemporary music history in the 20th and 21st century. He gave us about 2-4 hours of music to look at and listen to a week and we discussed it during class time. Very informative, Dr. Askim cares much more about students' comfort in engaging and learning the material than grades.

Mr. Askim is great, he is so clearly passionate about what he is teaching and really supports and encourages students to engage, no matter their level of knowledge, and he's hilarious of course. A lot of grading is just listening journals, which are easy, and for the tests, as long as you just study the lecture notes you'll do fine. Great Teacher.

As a long-time violinist and engineering major, MUS 121 (the Raleigh Civic Symphony) is a great class to take to continue musical learning, experience modern composers, and make a fairly easy A.
