Reviews of professor Ian Bassett

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
All but 2 video lectures just outright give you the answers to the quizzes.1 Discussion and quiz each week, 3, 5-paragraph papers, and a final 5-paragraph paper at the end. Interesting material. I learned a lot from this class.

Professor Bassett is very passionate about music and it is very clearly shown through the course. He gives you many chances throughout the course to make up / turn in missing work. I highly recommend music 125 it was by far my favorite course I have taken!

This class was awesome! I did the three week course and it was pretty chill a few discussions but they were all pretty small but with a lot of material that could you help you write them. The professor was super nice and seemed to be very understanding! Definitely take this class.

No matter what level your guitar playing is at he gives special attention to you so that you advance. If you think you are not ready for the ensemble yet you are wrong! Jump in and enjoy it! You will advance much faster if you just take the class as apposed to waiting and practicing more till you think you are ready.

A truly inspiring and amazing lecturer and teacher who shows that he cares about students developing a deep understanding of music. He is open-minded, with a sense of humor, learning about the full context of music, fair grading, and lectures guide you to know what you will be tested on.

Professor Bassett, Is probably my favorite professor in the entire Mesa Music Department. He is kind and caring towards his students. His lectures are clear and concise, and he keeps you engaged with his whit and humor. Grading is easy to follow, he is an amazing professor, you wont regret taking his course.

Material was a mix of excerpts, articles, songs, podcasts, and/or a lecture video; no textbook.
Each module had a discussion (post + reply) and multiple-choice quiz (2 attempts).
Two short essays (500 words) for the summer session.
Don't expect personalized feedback, but as long as you submit something, you'll pass.

I took professor Bassett in a 4-week course online through Mesa College and was a great decision. Weekly quiz and discussion posts (3 of each per week because it was a short course so you are taught at a faster pace) Still very manageable. Given 2 attempts at each quiz. Take this class !

Professor Bassett was a great teacher in music 125, I took a winter intersession course of his so it was roughly 4 weeks long. He did a great job at making the material interesting and very doable! It was organized and clear. I would recommend this class to anyone! It does require some reading and watching but it is not too heavy and is interesting
