Richard Drehoff MUSC140 Expecting a B- Anonymous 12/18/2022	This course is not hard, however, it can get very confusing at times for someone who may not have taken a Music Theory course before. I do highly recommend the class as Prof. Drehoff is amazing. You should always stay on top of work, however, if you ever feel overwhelmed with the material he is willing to work with you to ensure that you do well in the class. The workload is very high and it is a majority of worksheets and pdfs (one is assigned every lecture). Other than that, try your best and your grades will show the result! Enjoyability A+++++++++++++
Richard Drehoff MUSC140 Expecting an A- HashedString 12/15/2022	Grades Prospectus: B Why a B rating despite me getting an A-? Simply put this class has a HIGH workload for an intro class. Certain assignments can take a few hours, and this is coming from someone who has previous music experience with piano. If you are someone who has 0 music experience before this course you will not do well at all. It is unrealistic and to be honest impossible to keep up with the pace if so. Workload is still high even if you have experience as it is majority busywork from the sheer length of your weekly / daily homework. Exams are not bad however, and Prof. Drehoff is very very lenient with late work (as in end of the semester lenient) so if you are dedicated enough to do every assignment, you can achieve an A/A+ albeit the time commitment is large. Enjoyability Prospectus: A+++ Prof. Drehoff is an absolutely phenomenal professor. Extremely knowledgably, crazy friendly, and just a general all around joy to have. I believe this is one of his first semesters here when I took this course and I certainly hope he continues teaching here. This guy is just one of the most fun and best experiences I've had while here so far. Overall this course was fantastic fun and enjoyable for anyone with interest in music, even those with experience, however the sheer homework workload and busywork drags the rating down a little. If you must take this course, try to aim for Prof. Drehoff. Absolutely phenomenal prof.
