Fall 2025 - I wholeheartedly agree with the most recent review. Please take heed and just avoid this class altogether. I made the mistake of believing my NSA (who is an ethnomusicology major) to take this class and that it would be fun. It was nothing but hell. Attended every class, every discussion, and did every assignment to end with a B (which is by no means a terrible grade) that does not reflect how hard we worked. PLEASE TAKE HEED
