For music History 68 Beatles

Loved the class!! She was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the Beatles and their music. Breakdown of the class is one midterm, 8 page paper, and final. The midterm and final are pretty easy. They consist of listening to the songs and identifying them, name, band, album and date released and two sentences significant to the song. then there are essay questions that if you go to lecture you are bound to know. the paper is not hard and for a non-music major it was easy to do; basically you pick a Beatle song and analyze it. She will show various examples of how it is done.
There are two texts required but only one really needed for the essay. Gould's Can't Buy Me Love. If you need a copy I have it email me *************
read it for she makes constant references to it and may appear on the midterm and final as "gould said this what do you think about it?" and the pages add up so keep up with the reading. overall recommend the class!!

Take this class! Not only will you have a chill and amazing time, you will learn so so much about art, history, and just pop culture. I didn't really care about the beatles before this class and now i'm a huge fan. I see beatles references everywhere. This class is truly life changing

Professor Upton is truly the sweetest, most caring professor I have ever had. She deserves a 6 on bruinwalk. Upton was so accommodating with online schooling - we got 10 minute breaks during lecture, the midterm was cancelled and we were given full credit, the final was given as a 1-3 page reflection paper, and the analysis paper deadlines were often pushed a week to give us extra time. Professor Upton was very clear that she intended for this class to give us as little stress as possible and she delivered. The class material was SO engaging, and the analysis essay gave us room to pick a niche topic of interest which made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. The homework for this class is listening to the Beatles albums, movies and short readings on the Beatles. While it is not necessary to complete the readings and homework to do well in this course, I completed them all simply because they were interesting and I truly enjoyed this course. I feel so grateful to Professor Upton for making this quarter easy and enjoyable in such difficult global times.

I would highly recommend this class to anyone. It is so easy and the material is, for the most part, interesting. It is so easy to get an A and the required writing/essays are very manageable. Discussion is required but it is very easy. The lectures are in person, on zoom, or recorded, whichever you prefer, however, I found that attendance was not necessary. It is both an interesting and easy class that's based on "required" readings/listenings and writing assignments.

Professor Upton was AMAZING! The Beatles were definitely a subject I didn't expect to become so invested in. Class was online, but the TAs and other students made it fun chatting and reacting to her lecture. She shows a good amount of music videos and documentaries so the slides aren't boring. Our grade consisted of weekly discussion posts with one reply, quizzes corresponding to each lecture, a research paper, and a final reflection in place of an actual final. Overall, I'd highly recommend this class as a GE. Also, Alex was the best TA I've had. Super funny and understanding when it came to deadlines!

I absolutely loved this class. It was super easy, just a lot of memorization, but if you like the Beatles or just music in general you'll actually want to remember everything! also I'm selling the book she assigns for $10 (it's like $18 on Amazon)! text me if you're interested ********** :)

FOR MUSIC HISTORY 68: THE BEATLES. I am selling the two required books for $20 total. The Beatles: Paperback Writer and Can't Buy Me Love. Text me if you are interested: **********

Just as a class on the Beatles should be, this class was engaging, fun, and informative. Professor Upton knows the Beatles like the back of her hand and getting to learn more about their backstories, careers, and music was incredibly intriguing. The workload was very minimal as the readings were not really essential to the course. No midterm or final, just two final papers. Definitely recommend taking this course.
