Reviews of professor Rebecca Plack

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Get ready to listen to a lot of music... and I mean a lot... I went to every lecture and never read the textbook (that they give for free) and I did ok. She's so nice and even through her class has over 120 students, she makes an effort to remember names. Grading for the class is easy. Quizzes got easier as she realized students arent musical gods

The nicest and most caring professor I've ever had. You can tell she genuinely wants students to do well. Study guides are given for all quizzes and exams. Not hard to do well if you study. She is very willing to help students who are struggling and cares about everyone in the class.

I was nervous to take a Music Literature class as I have little to no experience with music theory or history of music in general, but Professor Plack changed my mindset completely. She is an amazing professor who truly cares about her students. Lecture-wise, she explains everything incredibly well and makes sure not to confuse you. LOVE HER!

Prof Plack cares so much about her students and is a truly nice person which made this class so nice. It is an easy A if you attend the lectures and put in minimal effort. There is a "required" textbook but you don't need to buy it, everything you need for the tests are in the lectures. An easy 4 unit class for sure.

Structures the class very clearly so you know what to expect. Keeps the class very interesting, and I looked forward to going to lecture every week. Really knows how to connect with students on a personal level. Class wasn't bad - two projects and a multiple choice midterm and a multiple choice final. Quizzes were also easy if you put in the effort

I love this professor and the TAs are sooo amazing as well. I took this course due to my passion for music. I love mus 10 so much. Even though there are a lot of materials to read and to prepare for the quizzes, midterm, and final, I still enjoy taking this class. I've learned so much from this class. RECOMMENDED!!

Honestly one of the best classes I've taken, she structures the class so that you do have to work a little bit but also makes that work a lot of fun. She really cares about her students too, the class before the final we had a review session and Beatles singalong and she made it optional to go because she wanted us to relax before the final.

Dr. Plack was very prepared to transition to remote learning, and her well-done lectures prove that. There's a lot of listening and information to take in from this class, so you can't just use cruise control. The creative assignment for this class was a lot of fun to do. This class is best for people with interest in rock music, not just Beatles.
