Students in this course praised their instructor’s hilarious and interesting teaching style which she deployed in this course that examined the history of popular music in the United States. Perceived issues in this course varied. Multiple students found that identifying the distinction between genres was difficult. Students had few suggestions for improving the course. However, one student asked that the course examine fewer songs while another asked that the instructor provide students with a list of features of each respective genre covered in the course. Prospective students should know that students found the course required them to be good at listening exercises and that the overall course was good for anyone interested in learning about the history of popular music.
