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 - The class was pass or fail and it wasn't difficult to pass it. Attendance at lectures isn't mandatory which is nice because the lectures are very long. The midterm and final are open note but also have very specific questions but if you have good enough notes you should do fine. The projects aren't difficult they are all using AI which seemed a little unrelated to the class but I didn't mind them.
