Reviews of professor James Minton

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Ike is super cool. His passion for music is undeniable and he really knows his stuff. I appreciated that he didn't make this class unnecessarily hard. The midterm and final were extremely straight forward and he allowed a notecard on both. He also offered a ton on extra credit. 2 short papers but they are super simple, basically just a song review.

Class consisted of weekly assignments that were about a page and a half long, very easy. Final was making your own playlist of 25 songs. And a test of 80 questions. Easy class to take to boost gpa. This was all taken online so it was very easy. Good teacher highly recommended

Very chill class. Also took his 81A class and it's the easiest GE you'll ever take. If you need the ER GE, definitely take 81A if it's available. 81H is nice too for extra units. Short weekly assignments, easy project and final for his class. Class consists of mostly listening to songs and participating in discussions on Canvas.

Ike is an amazing and caring guy, very passionate about rap and music in general. This class has only been offered a few times now, so he's still getting used to teaching in a lecture-hall format, which definitely needs some work. His syllabus and very clear and often times he'll help you directly to ensure you get an A+

Ike was a good guy, but the class was kind of boring. There were some entertaining discussions but most of it was just him talking about different songs. Very easy class, homework was short reading and one final paper, he would take attendance by giving a non-graded pop quiz at the start of class. If you love rap then definitely take this class.

Ike is a cool guy and just wants to see you showing effort in his class. Pretty easy class if you have even some interest in hip hop music from the 80s and 90s. Recommend if you need some extra credits.
