Music and Global Politics: From Beethoven to Beyoncé and Beyond

Grading is somewhat generous; many students mention getting A's despite challenges like quizzes and reading-heavy content.

The workload varies, ranging from light with weekly logbooks to heavier with group projects or active tutorial participation. Quizzes are frequent but can be managed by attending classes regularly.

Assessments include in-class multiple-choice quizzes, a midterm essay, and a final GPA (Group Project) or logbook. Group project options include designing learning tools, musical boxed sets, podcasts, or tour plans.

Teaching quality is mixed; some students find the professor engaging and knowledgeable, while others feel the content is too advanced or tangential. Tutors are generally helpful but can be inconsistent in their support.

Participate regularly in tutorials to improve understanding and grades. Form a good group for the project if choosing that option. Review readings thoroughly as they provide context for quizzes and lectures.
