Wow! All these reviews are way too positive for me! Whoever said he was pompous is right on the dot (lectures and office hours). No doubt he loves the subject matter, but he loves himself a lot more. I didn't learn anything relevant in Music 10. I attended every single lecture, stayed awake (pretty impressive), aced the midterm, aced the paper, and thought I did pretty well on the final. Ended up getting a C+ in the class. Tried inquiring what I may have done wrong but he gave me some sarcastic remark and that was that. No discussion. He did all the talking as well during office hours. Oh, and don't walk in late or fall asleep or he'll draw attention to you, as I've noticed w/ classmates. Music is my passion. I love the creativity; love the technicial aspect. Looking into it as a future career, in fact. I give this guy credit for being able to make me despise music for a whole 10 wks.
