Reviews of professor George Murer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Murer is extremely understanding and very knowledgeable. This intro level class is a great beginning for people who are interested about world music or ethno-musiology. I love the YouTube selections as well as the real instruments that Professor Murer played for the class, and I appreciate the anti-colonist efforts in the teaching process

I recommend anyone take this class if they really want to learn about music history. Every week, we were exposed to different parts of music history from many parts of the world. The class was made up of weekly discussion board posts, a written assignment, a small group assignment, and a final.

The textbook was hard to find for free. In my opinion it's really hard to get through without the textbook, I got mine a couple weeks in but I was lost and confused for the weeks that I didn't have it. You do not need to attend all classes

Professor Murer is great! I had an asynchronous class for him and the workload was more than manageable. He's always willing to help and is a very nice guy. Take him! Your grade is based on discussion board posts and a few other assignments. As long as you put some effort into the assignments, you should ace the class.

Prof Murer is really passionate about music. His lectures are a little heavy since there are many information is in each chapter. He makes class fun by playing instruments and he also likes students to participate by chat. We were graded on 2 quizzes and 2 essays. He grades really generously. I recommend him. Easy A.

Professor Murer is very knowledgeable, however, his lectures were hard to get through. He mumbles often and goes on about things that have nothing to do with music or with the material at hand. Some of the readings are unbearably long, he teaches by the textbook though so you'd need to read. Overall a fair grader. Not many tests/quizzes, one paper.

Very caring and extremely knowledgable. I only attended lecture for 3 times and submitted in papers late but he gave ample time and always extended the deadline. Even during the last day when grades were due, he sent an email to me to urge me to submit and accepted it when there were only a few hours left. 2 writing assignments + open book final.

He is so far the best Professor I had after coming to Hunter. Two writing assignments and the final is open book and the assignments are easy and fun. I had a lot of fun doing them. He is very understanding about deadlines and will not overwhelm you at all. He is very chill and has extreme knowledge about music all over the world.

He is very understanding, especially during times like these. He gives 2 quizzes and 2 (3 page papers). They were not hard. As long as you try and show up to lectures, you will be fine!
