Fall 2022 - Fall '22: This is a very easy class w/ a light workload of 4 listening assignments (about >20 songs w/ 2-3 sentences describing the song/how you felt), in-class midterm, and take-home final. They're all graded very nicely and I didn't even mention much of the readings/lecture in the assignments. Her midterm prompt was very simple and gave it to you before the exam. I knew I blanked on 1 tribe but I still got an A. She requires a course material ($82) which had some long readings, but it was very easy to skim through them to find the important information. She's an interesting, fun personality which keeps you attentive to her lectures which can get a bit dry (she doesn't share her PPTs). She is very considerate of the students; she cancelled a lot of the assignments and final and gave everyone As (as long as they did most of the work) in support of the strikers. Easiness aside, you'll learn a lot about Native American culture and their music.
