He is the type of professor you dread. You never want to step the worng way with this guy or he'll hold it agiant you the whole smester. The class was confusing, pop quizzes were a pain and even you did the reading you would still gets F's. His teaching is more about his ego than the student and learning.
Terrible class set up. Makes you study every last thing he ever said in class and every minute detail from the readings only to be tested on small parts of it. Even if you put direct quotes and several examples, you will get marked down. Never makes it clear what he wants from you. Somehow he's a pretty good lecturer but wow, unnecessarily strict.
Siegel has a very serious demeanor, but really, he isn't. He is very knowledgable and passionate about music, and it shows in his lectures. His lectures were always interesting and fun to go to. He gives review sheets for the midterm and final which practically hand feeds you the answers.
This class was great. We watched a lot of television shows. The class was very informative and wonderful. I thought professor Siegel did a great job. He made the class informative and fun.
