Professor Mueller is very nice and knowledgeable about the topic. All of the assignments are very structured, and the entire semester's worth of work is scheduled out from the first day, so he makes it easy to succeed. Highly recommend if you're interested in music or if you like discussion-based classes. There are 3 papers throughout - all of them are very self-directed in regards to what you write about, so you can really take them on a personal path and get creative with it. Homework is a weekly discussion post and reading.
