Reviews of professor Kyle Shaw

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Overall, I really liked this class and this professor because it was always fairly easy. Just be prepared to complete a lot of homework and quizzes, and never expect to get out of class early because he is so passionate about music that he tends to lecture longer than the class is supposed to last.

This is a class that you should be flexible with and take when your schedule is light. Dr. Shaw assigns listening, score reading, and text reading as well as homework. He also assigns a term paper and PowerPoint presentation, so youll need more than limited time to do those. He grades very strictly, and youll have to work really hard for an A.

A class that is far harder than it needs to be. It is clear that he is passionate about his subject, but that passion is saved for other music classes, as can be seen by his monotonous cookie cutter assignments. I would only take this professor if you are a passionate music major, as his lectures are ok, but do not vary much from the book itself.

Theres tons of quizzes, but they are easy. He only grades hard on concert reports and thats about it.
