Her class is very interesting and addressed overlooked concepts of film and music. Her homework consisted of watching weekly movies and one overall essay. Her lectures were a little long but we watched clips in class. Overall, the information was presented in an interesting and clear way that was also interactive and entertaining.

TAKE THIS CLASS ESPECIALLY WITH DR. REPLOGLE!!!!

Dr. Replogle is an awesome professor! I thoroughly enjoyed this class and took it for my Visual and Performing Arts GE. The way this class is graded is by these parameters (at least for my quarter):

35% Final Paper (10% thesis, 25% content)
25% Final
20% Midterm
20% Discussion (10% Participation, 10% Writing Prompts based off readings and lectures)

Near the end of the quarter, the professor also offers an E.C assignment that can boost your overall final grade in the class a total of 2% max depending on how well you do it.

In class, progessor Replogle would give an overview of the content and each week we are also responsible for a number of listenings and readings. These readings and listenings are VERY important as they are utilized on both midterm and final! The lectures themselves are also very important as the exams require you to recall IMPORTANT facts about each song (so you can't just B.S your way out of this).

It might sound somewhat overwhelming but the class is truely enjoyable. It really doesn't even feel like a class because the readings are easy, the songs are pretty fun to listen to (especially songs after the midterm!), and the professor is obviously very passionate about the History of Rock n' Roll! You grow to have an appreciation of music and see just how much gender, race, sexuality, technology, and a multitude of other factors transform music into what it is today especially in regards to Rock N' Roll.

Also, special shout out to Candance for being such an amazing T.A!!!! Definitely try to get her if you can.

Easy class. For the midterm and final, you have to memorize ~50 song titles, as well as the artist, year of recording, and three significant facts about each one. That was the hardest part. One 6 page paper at the end of the quarter, which was super easy to write (I just did it about my favorite band). If I didn't completely bomb the midterm, I would've gotten an A in the class. My TA was a homie and was incredibly helpful. Shoutout to Wade Dean Fulton, you tha man!

Quarter: Fall 2017
Grade: A+

Fun class, but lots of material. You start rock 'n' roll history in the 1920's, learning about blues and country, and move forward all the way until the 90's ending with alternative. In between, you learn almost everything there is to learn about rock 'n' roll (or as much as is possible in 10 weeks). In terms of assignments, there are both weekly readings of ~30-40 pages (so buying the book is mandatory) and Spotify playlists of ~20 songs to listen to per week.

The midterm and final are basically memorization; the first section is listening to a 1-minute excerpt of a song and stating the name, artist, date, and 3 salient facts about it. The second section is a short answer portion based only on lectures. The third section is an essay, for which you cannot get full credit for unless you use information from the weekly readings. However, Dr. Replogle gives you the prompts ahead of time, and selects 2-3 to put on the exam. That means you can outline the prompts as a way to study and pick out which sections of the reading to cite, so the readings are really only mandatory to do on time for the quizzes in the first few discussions (which are also far too easy; I didn't read for one of them and still got full points by making stuff up).

The prompt for the paper is vague, but that means you can basically pick your topic. The TA's are all music fans who love reading about that kind of stuff, so as long as you make it interesting you'll be fine.

Overall, easy class with fun material and you get to learn a lot about music and artists such as the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Elvis, and basically anyone else who was famous in the 20th century rock scene.

The class overall is fun and the TAs are all passionate about different aspects of music. The midterm and final require a lot of memorization of dates, song titles, and artist names but its pretty easy to get an A with some effort, especially with the paper (where you get to choose the topic).

I am a first year and took Music History 7 with prof Replogle fall 2013. She's elegant, knowledgeable, and concerned. Her lecture is very organized and interesting. I learnt a lot about film and film music industry that can be told from nowhere else! She doesn't put her slides online, but you can view them during her office hour. If you don't understand something, just go asking her and she'll explain it to you very well. Definitely take the class!

Grade breakdown:

50% paper (throughout the quarter)
20% midterm (MC)
30% final (MC+essay)

I took MH 7 with Replogle and thought it was a great class. It was an easy A if you did all of the exam study guides (meaning you went to lecture or had someone give you notes/fill you in). She doesn't post her Powerpoint slides online so keeping up with her lectures was super important. I really enjoyed this class. It was basically watching movies (on your own time) and then going to lecture where she talked about scenes and how the music adds to the film.

There are 3 short exams, and we didn't have a final (though I guess you can say 2 of the short exams are midterms and the last exams is the "final") but they were all pretty easy if you studied, even just a little bit.
The class consists of a paper that you work on throughout the quarter. My T.A graded pretty easily and I ended up getting an A on the paper without really trying or stressing out about it.
I didn't watch half of the movies but still did well by going to lecture or having someone from the class explain what happened in lecture to me for the lectures I missed.

It was a great class and sort of an easy A. I definitely recommend it!

I found most of the lectures and readings were pretty interesting! The only nagging part of the class was probably watching the weekly film. Overall, the workload was very manageable and make sure to take good notes. Also I highly recommend taking a discussion with TA Ramona Gonzalez, she was extremely helpful, sharp, and quick to respond to emails.

Initially, I was turned off from taking this class because Professor Repologle-Wong had an overall 2.7 rating on BruinWalk (I really don't know how), but after looking at the grade distributions for her other classes and my love of musicals, I decided it was worth the risk. It was such a good idea!! I do not know if this is going to be one of my favorite classes at UCLA, but it is definitely up there. I personally love how unique and different the experience is as I am a STEM major, so normally would not take any class of this sort. Professor Repologle-Wong really knows her material though and occasionally will even bust out some notes on the piano like it is no big deal.
The format of the class is one midterm that has some short answer and then one essay. She provided us with all the prompts beforehand though, so if you had at least kind of prepared, it was very doable. Then there was just a final paper and a take-home final exam that was due end of week 10 and finals week, respectively. That was about the only time that I did a ton of work in the class though. There are weekly reflections that are due on CCLE, but they did not have to be long and I found them a nice break from tedious math problems.
A lot of people stopped showing up to lecture after awhile, but I found the content interesting and kept going. The Professor is not scared of bringing up criticism of some of the most popular and well-loved musicals, and I really found my eyes being opened as I approached music and its plot in ways that I had never previously considered. Where else would I have learned that Hamilton is problematic due to its erasure of African American history? Overall, I highly recommend this class if you are a musical fan or want an easy GE!
