Reviews of professor Christopher Borders

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Borders is a great teacher and is very knowledgeable on what he lectures about. However he does grade attendance so its important that you show up to class on time whether by zoom or in person. There a 3-4 audio exams in which you must name the song and relevant artist as well as weekly homework each unit from folk-rock n roll.

Prof. Borders is terrific. He explains concepts in a concise way. You do have to take the course seriously and practice to gain the skills. Everything that you learn builds upon itself. If you do the work, this class will change you for the better! I highly recommend Prof. Borders.

Great instructor & great class. Prof is enthusiastic about the subject & straightforward. You'll need to create a playlist and know popular songs that are listened to in class. For audio exams all you have to do is listen to a cover version of a song and name the original title & band. I learned a lot about the history of pop music in this class.

Just rocked the final audio exam! :p I took the class on the new Wylie campus but we did more classes on zoom, due to COVID. Great class for experiencing pop music through the 1800s & 1900s. Professor Borders is great and has a lot of positive energy. He loves pop music. Take the class if you do too! Awesome learning experience!

Due to COVID outbreaks, most classes were on zoom. Audio exam days were in class. Textbook is online. You read and take practice quizzes as many times as you want. Practice quizzes get you ready for final quiz. Very clear expectations & weekly deadlines. Very fast responses from instructor.
