Winter 2025 - I enjoyed learning about how much music has affected our lives subconsciously, such as through advertising, which I used to never pay attention to. Now I always listen to advertisements and think about the effects the music had on the overall vibe. I loved the class, and although I wish the professor had given me practice tests because my studying was useless, I hope I have prepared enough for the final exam.

Fall 2025 - This class is extremely unrelated to music and media even though that's what it's supposed to be about. We have assignments related to AI which makes no sense. The lectures are not helpful at all and really boring. It is an easy GE but if you want to learn about music, don't take this class. This feels like a psych class but add in concepts about advertisement and other unrelated stuff.
