Reviews of professor Tyson Citerman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a VERY harsh grader, god knows why its an entry level music class. His assignments were not clear at all and he expected us to be experts on writing about music based little information he gave us. Would not recommend or take this class again. stay away

I don't know why this professor has a 2.9. I think the course can be difficult to understand because the lessons can be hard. But, he makes sure you get it and is very helpful. He is kind and a fun teacher. He knows how to make the class feel lively. Overall, I think he is a great professor. Just listen, engage and you will enjoy the class.

Professor Tyson is a really caring person. However I never liked his class because we had lots of homework that I could barely understand. He also goes really fast with his lectures so make sure you take advantage of office hours. Overall if you want to do well in this class do your homework on time, ask questions and do extra practice on your own.

He is a really chill guy. Although I feel like I didn't learn much from his lectures, the hw and his feedback were extremely helpful in understanding the material. Yes, there is hw every week, but it isn't too bad. He allows you to revise with his feedback. Hardest part about his class is midterm/final. You can def get an A if you just do the work

I have almost no background in music so the information was difficult for me but the professor had office hours and any time I needed an explanation he would go over it until I understood. He gives clear instructions on assignments and he lets you redo assignments and correct them. He wants you to do well. If you do the work youll do great.

He is a good professor but needs to be more specific when giving assignments. Also he grades our assignments unfairly. Other than that hes a descent professor but i wouldn't take his class again.

hes a nice person and doesnt care that youre on your phone during class but what he wants in his essays he is very unclear about. no tests or quizzes, just listening to music and writing about it

Good professor but the only thing was when he taught it was kinda boring at some times. When he gave us HW they were really hard and the textbook did not help me at all. Music1400 is a very interesting and very hard as well.

Tough for an intro level course. Journal entry prompts are vague, homework is tedious and while he gives the chance to submit corrections, the feedback is not helpful. He's not clear about what he's looking for esp. with written assignments. Even with some basic prior music knowledge, I felt lost in class.
