He's really passionate about India's culture and the classes he teaches but he's extremely unorganized and basically his 3 hr long class is just about his life in India also he was teaching us stuff that had nothing to do with music in India.

Easy A if you go to lecture and read the book. MUST OUTLINE ASSIGNED BOOK READING TO DO WELL IN CLASS. The majority of tests are from dense, book material. Lectures are easy and completely oral. He's very passionate. Concerts are annoying but sometimes interesting. He's extremely friendly and always there to help you.

Unless you really enjoy music history don't take him. He never has a set plan for the day so when you go to study for the midterm or the final you don't even know what to study. 6 required concerts which is ridiculous. If you miss unorganized high school teachers take him if not save you $ and take something else

One the most passionate, inspiring, and amazing professors I have had the privilege of learning under. Take the class as more of a learning experience, as the exams are simple. Write the paper on something you're genuinely interested, and take advantage of this incredibly interesting class with a remarkable professor. Couldn't recommend more.

I hated this class. Requires 6 concerts, book is ridiculously expensive, lectures are scattered and not on any particular material, he comes across as super arrogant and always picks on students, and always tests on random things. This class was such a waste of money and time. This was one of the worst classes I've ever had to take.

Goes off on tangents and has no clear set plan on what you are going to be talking about in lecture. The class over all isn't bad other than the fact that your confused on what your actually learning.
