A rather boring class, with a surprising amount of work considering its widespread reputation as an easy GE. It's not challenging, just a bit annoying.

Attendance is required for both lecture and section. Three 650 word papers and eight weekly short responses. She'll bring in guests for interviews and live demos of music. Hope you are involved in some way with music if you're taking this course.

She is such a SWEETHEART. She loves what she does, and I think she maximizes the material in terms of how she teaches it. Even as a musician thou, I did find it to be boring after the first unit, but she at least made it somewhat enjoyable. Def a good GE to take for fine arts credit, and I think is non-musician friendly.

Professor Sprigge is one of the kindest professors I've ever met. As an international student, I felt truly seen and supported. She's warm, patient, and always willing to help. Her class is thoughtful and well-organized, and she creates such a safe, welcoming space.I feel so lucky to have met her and will always be grateful.

For her first time teaching MUS15, she did a phenomenal job. Super passionate and is great at explaining concepts/themes. Grade is composed of weekly responses, attendance, 1 performance attendance, and 3 short papers: however, they're simple as long as you attend the (mandatory) lectures. Lots of great guests along the way as well.

Prof Sprigge is definitely my highlight of remote learning. Her lectures and sections are always so fun to participate, and she is passionate, and knowledgeable, in what she is teaching. Very manageable workload (1 response each week, 2-3 short paper, and midterm & final), clear syllabus and grading contract, give goofed feedback. I enjoyed a lot.
