Really enjoying this course (nearly done).

The subject is perfect for my age (about 50) as I grew on much of this music and play guitar.

Wish there was a way to incorporate the music.

I am pausing, going to youtube and back constantly but it is worth it.

It was a great course. I love the professor's explanations and it was quite well organized. It would be good to have a document with all the links to songs and albums on Youtube or whatever, so you don't have to manually search for each track.

this course i great if you want to increase your knowledge about rock music,it has helped me a lot to understand different genres of music and how it came into picture of music.

very helpful course with lots of examples to understand perfectly

Enjoyed class. Got a little weary of watching videos toward the end. Definitely will consider future classes. More time on The Beatles and Rolling Stones would make the course more interesting.

Thanks for

Could be improved using musical videos or complementary material. Is a little be boring just listening to lectures. :(

Instructor is very articulate. The layouts for all of the lessons are very simple and easy to maneuver.

Thank you for the course. It's really interesting! I enjoy it so much, especially the quizzes :)

Good course, but I was disappointed that clips of some of the music weren't played.

lástima que no esté en castellano 100%. Me ha parecido muy útil. Muchas gracias

Buen curso! Muchos datos importantes sintetizados y bien explicados.

Everything perfect, but quizzes sometimes dig really deep in dates

Well done. Lot of material covered. I enjoyed it.

A lot of great info and it was easy to understand.

Engaging and an overall very informative course.

Great course! Well presented. Very informative.

Good overview of the birth of Rock

overall fab....

nice ponytail

Very good

As a standard overview, the course is fine. However, the lecturer skirts around or hand waves away controversial or difficult subjects, and he's apparently afraid of offending anyone by getting too close to saying "fuck" or "sex" even in an academic setting. Additionally, this course won't introduce anyone to forgotten and erased artists of the past - women are largely absent from his history of rock, even though Janis Joplin and The Supremes didn't come out of nowhere. The quizzes are also too heavy on the trivia - "who published what when" questions rather than critical thinking questions about why or how.

better than my other courses

Sorry but although I found the topic of interest I found the delivery very dull. Yes, Prof Covach knows his stuff but basically what we got here was little more than a reading of text from his book. I know he explained why the actual music was not included but think he could have done more to provide links and stimulate listening. I eventually just started reading the transcribed text of the lectures as I did not find looking at Prof Covach's talking head at all stimulating. Prof Covach did nothing to stimulate discussion in the forums and although I posted a few things there was very little going on in the forums. I bought the book on the basis of being interested in the topic but it is not at all necessary for the course.

No use for me. No music examples because copyrights did not allow, so the course is pretty boring.

Sorry, not for me.

Wish I could give negative stars
