Intro to Music, I

Prof. Archer is great. She's extremely enthusiastic about the subject, and will keep you awake even through the more boring parts of music history. Her lectures are full of facts but you don't really need to know that much for the final.
DO go to class, though, because that's where all of the information is coming from. Don't bother buying the textbook, because you'll never need it. She's a very fair grader, but the listening quizzes are TERRIBLE.
Some advice: only take the spring semester- unless Gregorian chants fascinate you, you won't like the fall semester.

I found the subject to be extremely boring, but Prof Archer's great. She's very enthusiastic and LOVES what she teaches.
The papers are OK, but the listening tests are pretty difficult, so make sure you don't leave them till the last minute like I did. Overall, if music before 1750 interests you, definitely take this class with her.

Gail Archer is such a passionate and well educated woman. If you give a little, she will give back a lot. The material isn't the most interesting (even for Music Majors, such as myself) but listening to her lecture makes the class that much better because of her enthusiasm. She's infectious!
