Professor Watts is fantastic! His lectures are always very intriguing and engaging and are just overall very enjoyable. He is a very fair grader and is clear about his criteria. I found all of his assignments to be very intriguing, fun, and helpful in learning the content. Overall a very fun class and a great professor!

Andrew is an amazing professor, incredibly fair grader and class is always an (educational) blast. He gives breaks halfway through, shows cool movies, and always leads great discussions. Creativity is rewarded. Homework and midterms/finals are super manageable, but still interesting.

The class was graded on weekly assignments and biweekly meetings, along with a short final paper and composition for the guitar. Andrew Watts is super friendly and engaging, all smiles and lenient with deadlines. As long as you put effort into your work, you should be fine!
