Masterpieces of Western Music (Music Humanities) · Columbia College Core
A few discussion posts, 1 like really short creative writing short essay thing, final opera project (super chill grader).
3 take-home quizzes, 3 essays. No trick questions, and he gives out all the questions in his review sessions.
Participation (25%), Concert Report (35% of class grade), Two Discussion Board Posts on Courseworks (20%), Final Project (20%) Concert report is just your thoughts on two classical/jazz/etc. concerts during the semester and the final is a slideshow timeline about 3-4 composers with any theme you want.
Take Home Quiz per two weeks. (not difficult) Several Reading Responses. (very lIght) Concert Paper. (can choose whatever concert) Final Paper. No midterm or final exam.
Not too bad. Maybe a little more than other sections but probably not the heaviest one out there.
Not bad at all. Come to class, enjoy, and then go to 5 concerts and write about them in your journal. The final wasn't too hard, but it was worth studying for.
2 papers, a couple concert reports, and in your free time you should stop into his office hours. He's a really cool guy, actually.
Six 2 response papers over the course of the semester, 1 midterm and a final (consisting of multiple choice, listening ID's, and an essay), and one final paper on a live performance (ours was La Traviata). Mild amount of reading.
3 exams (final is non-cumulative). 1 paper. I think I spent 20 hours this semester on this course (4 hours per exam, 8 hours on the paper) and landed me an A-.
Weekly listening and reading assignments, which you don’t need to do obsessively for the class, but you’ll definitely make up for by the time the next quiz/midterm rolls around. A midterm (in-class listening, multiple choice, extended answer section and take-home essays) and a final (much like the midterm, but essays are in-class and pre-prepared). A concert report (attend a concert, write 5 pages response with research) and a writing assignment (an 8 page research paper). 4 listening quizzes, in which you identify pieces you’ve studied. The midterm and final listening involves identifying pieces you HAVEN’T listened to before, based on distinguishing characteristics. Tricky for some.
