The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Rock history and online theory are easy As with show-up or assignment work, while classical guitar grades still need consistent practice.
Online MUSA100 is explicitly an easy A; in-person guitar grades depend more on practice and sheet-music skill.
Is the course easy?
History and online courses are light conceptually, but classical guitar content can feel advanced without prior technique.
Online content is straightforward; in-person guitar difficulty rises for serious classical sections.
Is attendance flexible?
One recent guitar review says attendance was mandatory, while the online course listed attendance as not mandatory.
Online evidence points to optional attendance; some in-person guitar evidence points to mandatory attendance.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students praise his teaching and would take him again, with the main hesitation limited to high classical-guitar standards.
The sole online review is strongly positive; in-person views are mostly positive with a few beginner warnings.

Course format
Classroom format
High confidence · Best fit for Effort For Reward
In-person guitar and music classes praise patience and skill, but serious classical guitar sections expect practice, sheet music, and solid technique.
Main concern
Beginners who rely on tabs or skip practice can find standards too high.
What students said
“Super easy class. You don't even need to take notes; if you just show up and listen to lecture, you'll ace all the tests.”
“I would not recommend taking this class... If you're a tab user like me, you are screwed because you are required to read sheet music.”
“Great teacher, patient and informative. Makes it accessible to beginners and challenging to serious students.”
Remote format
Low confidence · Best fit for Easy A Hunter
Fully online MUSA100 is described as an easy A with textbook-based homework, short writing, and no final.
Main concern
Only one online review, so format evidence is thin.
What students said
“It was an easy A as long as you do the assignments. I HIGHLY recommend it!”
Exam style
easy lecture tests in rock history, but stricter technique and notation standards in classical guitar.
Assessment risk
Standard
62/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person rock history uses a few easy exams, while classical guitar evaluates sight-reading and performance form more strictly.
“No homework, just 4 exams.”
“He requires you to sight read in standard notation and judges you harshly on exams.”
Online MUSA100 has no final and relies on homework plus a few writing portions.
“There is no final, maybe 3 essays or writing portions.”
