Love this course! Very easy and interesting material. Took it online, had m/c quizzes, listening and general information ones. Name that song, band, genre etc. Goes through the beginning of rock to present day, hits up prog rock, grunge, electronica, rap, pop, acid rock, shock metal etc. Read the text & you will do fine. It was an interesting book to read to get an inside look at rock and the business.

5 quizzes = 50% 3 listening = easy = at leastt 90% 2 written = harder = round 80ish exam isnt hard but its worth 50.... definately an easy course but not as easy as people make it out to be. its very hard to take seriously... still recommend it though

Fun class to attend. If you are not a music major and taking this class as an elective, you might feel dumb. Lots of musically talented people who seem like they could teach the class just as well as the prof. Very interesting textbook. Two midterms, both listening. Name the song, artist, and date released. Final is a content based exam. Prof can be dull at times but you get to listen to music throughout class.
