Nicole Steinberg MUSC210 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/23/2025	An HONEST review from an AVERAGE student: This course was actually a pretty fun gen ed for me. The course has lectures (claimed to be mandatory but definitely were not), and covered a wide variety of topics. Discussions are mandatory but nothing difficult covered in them - if you can get Tai as your TA do that though, she was seriously amazing and easy going in class. The only drawback to the course was the amount of writing on discussions (wanting 750 words on very vague topics that could be covered in a few sentences). You also get to make a project on what you find interesting, which actually was fun rather than tedious. The lectures could be pretty boring in general, and I definitely did skip. I would take the course again, and would definitely recommend if you have gen eds you need to complete.

We had a few guest lectures, and all of the slides were posted, but not recorded. Quizzes were done on your own time and open note. Most of the work is the discussion board posts and module reflections which are long, but not difficult whatsoever. The final project was fun and did not take a lot of time, you present a portion of it in discussion and get feedback before you actually submit the final thing. The TA grades everything and mine was very nice, so overall a really easy gen-ed and honestly pretty interesting, so I highly recommend taking it!
Nicole Steinberg MUSC210 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/11/2025	Professor Steinberg is super nice and clearly passionate about what she teaches. Her class consists of lectures twice a week, and discussions once a week with a TA, who I also really liked. Throughout the semester many people stopped going to lectures, but I found them interesting and helpful when it came to writing discussion boards and unit reflections. If you give even the littlest bit of effort to pay attention and learn something, her lectures are really interesting and helped me to learn a lot of new things. I definitely recommend this class as a gen ed as it is pretty straightforward but also interesting. If you are interested in music and history, I would take this class where you learn about the impact of music on life both in the past and present. Assignments consisted of multiple choice at-home quizzes, discussion boards, and unit reflections. There are two larger assignments that are research based, but there is ample amount of time to complete them. This class made me broaden my views in relation to culture and music, and I enjoyed it as a general education class. Professor Steinberg was interesting, passionate, and engaging in her lectures.
