Awesome professor, very understanding and willing to work with you.

There's multiple quizzes due each week, but you get three attempts and correct and wrong answers are given, so its not hard to get an 100. Lectures are mostly him talking and showing a few audio clips, but it's not too boring. Pretty easy class with a few tests and concert assignments that make up most of the grade.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
It's just quizzes and tests and going to concerts. If you forget to do a quiz that's your loss since he won't open it back up for you to take. The concerts are a hassle so do it ASAP and his tests are difficult but the study guides are a good help if you do them.

Dr. Thrower is a good professor but the class itself isn't that interesting unless you genuinely are looking at music for a career. It is very easy and the only reason I got a B was because I lost focus at the end of the semester.

This class was boring if you're not into music and the material can be a bit tedious, but he dropped one out of the 5 tests we took, so that was cool. Sean takes attendance randomly. The tests are detail-oriented, but the study guides he puts out well prepare you for it. You are required to go to 3 concerts in total. Overall, not a bad choice.

I took this class as an elective and I had to work harder for this class than my core classes. The tests are extremely difficult and webcam/lockdown browser. If you are taking this class as an elective I highly do not recommend it.

Professor Thrower is a great teacher but he is very lecture heavy. Attendance is a MUST, he passes an attendance sheet around. Everything that is in the powerpoints are on the quizzes and tests. He does require the lockdown browser for tests but does not require the webcam. He sometimes gives free points on tests or makes the answer very obvious.

Sean is very, VERY interested in music. DO NOT take this class hoping to get an easy A. You'd need a BA in music to understand him, and his tests. This is NOT a "read the text and pass the test" class, you're graded on musical pieces by your ability pick them out by hearing them. Lockdown browser is also used, so good luck cheating. DO NOT TAKE HIM

Lecture heavy but he is very knowledgeable about what he's talking about. 2-3 weekly quizzes with multiple attempts available if you want to improve your grade. Class was subjectively boring but as long as you take the notes this is an easy A. Open note and open book for all tests and quizzes

He was a pretty good professor and the class was pretty easy! His tests are lockdown (not the camera ones) and are based off the PowerPoints. For quizzes he gives you 3 attempts. The lowest test grade is dropped. You have to attend 3 concerts (professional ones not like ur favorite artist) but over all pretty easy and a good class!
