Fall 2025 - This class was such a drag. The professor seems cool, but man is this class not really taught well. It's an easy A if you put in the effort and have some baseline knowledge of music, but the assignments and ESPECIALLY the midterm/final projects were soo much work mostly because of the lack of direction you have. Expect to spend alot of time researching super obscure topics that you don't really know how they connect to anything at all. nothing against the tas and prof and stuff though, they seem like good people and the class has a good message behind it at least. The "lecture" videos are funny as helllll to be honest you never know what to expect. but really don't bother to go through all the links and videos and whatever if you don't have to its just not worth stressing about.
