Music 2 Wisdom Wall by Michelle Coder https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp Please leave a helpful comment for next semester's students en-us 2021-12-11 06:19:22 UTC 2026-02-25 05:23:21 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1941616967 Turn in your assignments on time and do not procrastinate, it will be difficult to catch up if you fall behind. And be sure to spread your assignments out throughout the week because they can be time consuming. ]]> 2021-12-11 10:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1941616967 TIME MANAGEMENT! https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1943224040 Throughout this course the workload may seem overwhelming at times - keep progressing forward! The weekly modules are time consuming so make sure to set aside extra time every week to complete the assignments. Take advantage of the extra credit assignments - not many other courses offer this opportunity! ]]> 2021-12-12 21:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1943224040 Just Breathe! https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1943363674 Sometimes I felt like the assignments all came at once and were too much to handle. Just take a breath, read the course material/watch the videos and take the quizzes and exams when you are ready. If you put in the effort, it will show in your grade! Good Luck!]]> 2021-12-13 00:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1943363674 Take a Break https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1946068552 You should and need breaks away from the computer; for your eyes, your back and for your mind. Come back and finish and don't let your break take you completely away, but build in breaks.]]> 2021-12-14 03:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1946068552 Prioritize https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1946160282 Plan out your assignments and time as best as possible. This course can be overwhelming at time, so time prioritization is absolutely necessary. Put high point items at the front of your priority list and get them done first, then focus on the small assignments. Also, reach out to Michelle when you are stuck. She is able to help you!

]]> 2021-12-14 04:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1946160282 Ask questions https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1947590508 If you are ever confused or need a bit more help, always reach out to a peer or the professor for clarification. The more questions you have the better.]]> 2021-12-14 17:20:02 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1947590508 Manage your work load https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1950577064 While it is easy to enjoy the flexibility that the class has, don't let all your work pile up until the last second and then have everything to do. It's very hard, stressful, and on top of all your other finals it can be hard to manage.]]> 2021-12-15 23:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1950577064 Pace Yourself https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1954017421 Plan ahead and pace yourself so you don't get too overwhelmed late into the semester! It can be hard, but once you let things pile up it stresses you out more and makes you not want to do it (learned from experience). Do your best! You got this!]]> 2021-12-17 16:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/1954017421 Take your time, and use it wisely https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2187878688 You have the advantage of being able to see the modules at the beginning of every week, so use that to plan accordingly! Try and follow a schedule and stay consistent and you'll get through the course just fine. ]]> 2022-05-17 15:50:42 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2187878688 Pace Yourself and Focus! https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2188238212 Having modules opened entirely at the beginning of them can be both a blessing and a curse. Use them to pace yourself throughout the material but try to focus on one assignment at a time rather than working on bits and pieces of each assignment! Enjoy the material, it's very interesting. :) ]]> 2022-05-17 19:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2188238212 Make a schedule https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2193736414 It is super super important to make a schedule!!! The second I made mine it helped me out so much. You have to prioritize your big assignments first and then do the small ones. If you focus and take your time you will do great! You can also reach out for Michelle, she is super sweet and always ready to help.]]> 2022-05-21 06:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2193736414 Find joy https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2194127188 I think some great advice for any course is to try finding enjoyment out of the course and also to take immense pride in your work. When it comes to this class I had very little interest in music notation or analysis however I love history and stories so I tied that into the analysis and notation. When it comes to taking pride in your work I like to make every assignment a work of art. Even in my labs my friends will make fun of me because I spend 5 minutes picking the theme of my graph. Small things like this help shape your mindset into finding joy out of task. This helps a lot because tasks that you used to pray would just end become something you can cruise through.]]> 2022-05-21 20:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2194127188 Stay Organized and On time! as much as you can. Take those extra time in each day reading and watching lessons, little by little while gathering information (write it down). Don't overwhelm yourself! You will make it! https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2194297643 2022-05-22 05:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2194297643 By Parker https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2194933875 I would say the best way to improve your time here in this class is by keeping up with the work. If you do that the content will be easy and you will have a good time. Also, reflect on the material and compare it to yourself. Find the similarities in both the assignments and your life. If your take the content to heart, more than the vocab, but really stopping to appricate music, you will be better off because of it. Make this class your own and you will prosper. ]]> 2022-05-23 00:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2194933875 By Camdyn Johns https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2195136089 In order to be successful in this class you must stay organized and on top of completing the modules by the due dates. All the material I learned in this course is very interesting, which makes it fun to learn and study. There is a lot of material covered in this course, so I really recommend at least once a week to review the Quizlets. That is something I really appreciated that Professor Coder did, was make and publish Quizlets to study from before tests. Best of luck! ]]> 2022-05-23 03:23:44 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2195136089 Dear Future Music Student https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2196493694 After this course you will never listen to music or watch movies the same way again.  You will always be noticing new musical themes in movies and realizing how different musical choices effect you. Your eyes are going to be opened to a whole new world; the world of music. It can be confusing at times but I know that with persistence you will be able to figure it out. (Professor Coder is also GREAT at explaining some of the more complicated terms and ideas.) My advice to you would be to just embrace it; sometimes the work may seem boring but if you read each article and watch each lesson pretending like its the most interesting thing ever it will become just that. And not only will you learn a little more about this musical world that surrounds us all but you will also have little fun doing so! Good luck and remember YOU GOT THIS!!!!

Just breathe. Some modules will make you feel defeated. Just breathe. Take a break when you need. Too much at once is overkill. Pace yourself. Create a plan and try to stick to it. But most importantly, if you're facing challenges from life, then don't be afraid to communicate with the professor. She is very understanding. You're in good hands with her!]]> 2022-05-24 00:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2196705103 Pace Yourself & Ask For Help https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2196915622 Music 2 has a lot of information in each module, so it requires you to be on top of everything. Take breaks when needed & don't fall behind. Reach out to Ms. Coder if help is needed. Have fun in this course! You'll learn a lot of new things!]]> 2022-05-24 03:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2196915622 Do not procrastinate! https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2253699833 My biggest mistake this semester was procrastinating my assignments. I would say it is easier to plan out when you have time to do all the assignments each week, so you do not have to do all of them at the end of the week like I did some weeks. Good Luck!]]> 2022-08-02 23:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2253699833 Pay Attention! https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2255116927 Make sure you pay attention to the lectures and readings. It will come in handy when you write your concert report! Along with that, pay attention during the films so you can answer the threaded discussions fully and actually take in the information. ]]> 2022-08-04 23:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2255116927 Do the Readings! https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2255181048 It is super important to do the readings in this course because a heavy emphasis is put on the analyses talked about in the textbook. The textbook is free and online so there should be no reason for you to not be able to access the weekly readings. ]]> 2022-08-05 01:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2255181048 Do not procrastinate! https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2256277525 This course is a lot of work. There are quizzes every week and lots of homework. I made the mistake of waiting till the day it was all due to begin working and I would not suggest. It caused lots of stress and made for a day full of trying to get work done. I highly highly suggest making a schedule and writing out what to get done each day. It helped me tremendously and helped me understand the enjoy the course much more! Greatest of luck!]]> 2022-08-08 00:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2256277525 Use your Resources! https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2256884215 Take advantage if all the great resources that Professor coder makes available to you. The lecture videos, the overviews, the study guides and especially the textbook are very helpful when completing assignments. Also don't be afraid to reach out to Professor Coder or attend her office hours when you need help. -Layla]]> 2022-08-08 19:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2256884215 Have good time management https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2257930093 In a summer class time management is key. There is a lot of material in a summer class so build a daily schedule for your class so you can finish all of your assignments on time while breaking up the load. Doing this will help you be engaged with the information and be less stressed because you won't procrastinate. Last thing, make sure you get enough sleep.]]> 2022-08-10 04:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2257930093 Do Not Procrastinate https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2257934507 Make sure you do not wait the last minute to learn a new topic and submit the homework. It is better to take your time and fully devote yourself, rather than doing it all last minute.]]> 2022-08-10 04:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2257934507 Take your time with the material https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2259556283 Don't procrastinate and wait until the last minute, especially if you are taking this course during the summer. Take advantage of the many resources and materials you are provided with. You can gain a deeper appreciation for music from this course. You've got to put the work in, but it can be fun! Try to get the musical terminology down early on, and familiarize yourself with the music selections in the book and modules. Don't skip out on any early music analysis assignments. Those will be good practice for your larger ones.]]> 2022-08-12 03:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2259556283 Don't lose light of the end of the tunnel https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2409543996 I felt like a lot of the time I would not be able to get things done, but I found that once I really started doing it that it was not actually too difficult. Don't give in on how much you don't like the assignment, instead find something that you like about it and focus on that.]]> 2022-12-05 17:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2409543996 Don't Wait Until The Last Minute https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2409836230 With the flexible due dates, it is really easy to wait to do your assignments, but this is not a good idea.

If you ever feel overwhelmed, reach out! I have taken 18 units during the Fall and Spring Semesters and have had some scary experiences with deadlines; however most to all professors are very understanding and have been in our place at one point in time. Professor Coder is an awesome person and I am sure her knowledge extends beyond being our online proctor, so never feel you cannot communicate with others in your class, and especially your educator. Remember to stay on track! derailment is not an easy fix though remedies are available. ]]> 2022-12-12 17:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2418126814 Do what works https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2418499740 I know pretty much everyone is gonna say something about managing time and not procrastinating so I'm gonna say something that isn't that. I think that a good way to get through this course and similar ones is first to obviously learn the material, but with the assignments simply know what they entail and when they are due. As someone who had several difficult STEM classes along with this one, you sometimes need to have a triage system to get all of the work done. I'm not saying that you should ignore any work but if you have at least an idea of what you need to get done then you can plan when to start it and then maybe focus on other classes before then. ]]> 2022-12-13 00:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2418499740 time management https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2418818583 Time management is key throughout this course if you feel like you're struggling or get behind make sure to contact your professor.

I did and I fell behind, struggled to catch up, and despite catching up missed out on some of the really beneficial projects because I didn't give myself enough time to get them done. As long as you keep yourself motivated and pace yourself you'll do amazing in this class and learn some awesome stuff along the way.]]> 2022-12-15 02:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2421307814 Work Hard! https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2582834474
  • Did you have musical training before taking this course?
    • No, I did not have any musical training before this class.
    1. How would you rate the difficulty of the course?
    If you stick with your studying and stay on task week in and week out, it isn’t hard. Definitely a bit challenging week to week, but if you study and manage your time well it’s not hard to do well in the class.
    1. Have you ever taken an online college course before this semester? If not, will you enroll in one again? Why or why not?
    I have taken online classes before this semester, and I think this is an example of a good online class that would make me want to take one again.
    1. Would you have preferred that I lock the modules each week or did you like the flexible due dates? Were you able to self-pace? What is your preference?
    I liked being able to have flexible due dates. I am not much of a person who has a lot of time each day, it just depends on the schedule from week to week so self-pacing is a must. Overall I liked the flexibility.

    1. Did you like the thematic approach? Did you feel more engaged or less engaged in the course because it was thematic? Did this organization make sense to you?
    I liked the thematic approach. It not only made more sense each week as we got closer to the end, but also it just made it more clear and simple on what we were working on instead of it being sporadic.
    1. Did you find value in the cross-cultural analysis? How did you feel about the inclusion of marginalized voices and a decolonized perspective as they relate to the evolution of classical music and popular music genres in the West? Should I include more of this material in the course?
    Cross-cultural analysis will always provide better insight into anything but especially in this course I think it helped a lot to understand things better.
    1. Do you feel the course materials adequately prepared you to write your Concert Report? Why or why not? What additional instruction or materials would have been helpful?
    Yes, if you did your work beforehand it definitely prepared you to write a good concert report.
    1. Did the quizzes and exams seem too easy, just right or too difficult? How long did it take you to complete the Canvas exams and listening quizzes? 
    I think each week some were more difficult than others but I think that it wasn't all that hard to get down to business and focus to get the quizzes/ exams done. Just takes a but of work.
    1. Did you download the free textbook, watch the weekly video assignments and lectures or use the text summaries to complete the Threaded Discussion questions? If you didn't read the textbook or watch the videos, please share why you chose not to or were unable to access this digital material.
    Yes, I used the textbook quite frequently and it helped a lot. It made it a lot easier to complete the weekly activities and assignments.
    1. Did you think I was adequately present in the course? Would you have liked to see more teacher made videos or attend live Zoom lectures rather than curated videos and narrated Powerpoint lecture videos covering the eras each week?
    You were definitely present, I think the weekly check-ins, plus sending emails every so often regarding how you are doing in the course was done quite nicely.
    1. What did you like best about the course? If you could change the course in any way to better meet your needs what would you change? I'm open to suggestions and creative solutions.
    I liked the discussions seeing everyone’s approach to things, and also getting another way of looking at someone’s perspective was really cool. Overall just learning about the types of music was pretty interesting to me.

This isn’t a memorization-regurgitation class. I highly recommend that you have strong comprehension of the concepts in order to excel on the tests. It’s not difficult, it’s not overwhelming, but prioritizing your education and your approach to learning will help you with this class significantly!]]> 2023-05-10 16:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2585819281 Pace Well <3 https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2585880081 I'm very happy and very grateful that the lessons were all released at the same time, and if you have a personality like me, it's a lot easier to get work done when the week isn't a big surprise. An issue that could come up is doing all the work at once (I tend to do it all ASAP). If I were to do over it all, I'd try to pace myself throughput the week better. Besides personal training, this class is amazing, and you'll love your professor! You've got this, and I hope you have an awesome day!]]> 2023-05-10 17:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2585880081 https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2585898757 Did you have musical training before taking this course? Yes, I was in band class in middle school, and I took piano lessons.
    How would you rate the difficulty of the course? I would say 7/10, it was easy to understand, but the videos took up a lot of time.
    Have you ever taken an online college course before this semester? If not, will you enroll in one again? Why or why not? I took a personal development class and took a Japanese language class.
    Would you have preferred that I lock the modules each week or did you like the flexible due dates? Were you able to self-pace? What is your preference? I liked the modules being open because that meant that when I was sick, I could come back and do what I missed.
    Did you like the thematic approach? Did you feel more engaged or less engaged in the course because it was thematic? Did this organization make sense to you? I liked the thematic part of this course because it meant I didn't have to change my learning habits a lot.
    Did you find value in the cross-cultural analysis? How did you feel about the inclusion of marginalized voices and a decolonized perspective as they relate to the evolution of classical music and popular music genres in the West? Should I include more of this material in the course? I enjoyed learning about how music affected other cultures to see how it compared to how music affects me.
    Do you feel the course materials adequately prepared you to write your Concert Report? Why or why not? What additional instruction or materials would have been helpful? I think the course provided me with everything I needed to complete the assignments.
    Did the quizzes and exams seem too easy, just right, or too difficult? How long did it take you to complete the Canvas exams and listening quizzes? I think the quizzes and exams were just right in difficulty level.
    Did you download the free textbook, watch the weekly video assignments and lectures or use the text summaries to complete the Threaded Discussion questions? If you didn't read the textbook or watch the videos, please share why you chose not to or were unable to access this digital material. I watched the videos and read the textbook, but it was a lot of information, so I had trouble remembering everything, or where things were to find information.
    Did you think I was adequately present in the course? Would you have liked to see more teacher-made videos or attend live Zoom lectures rather than curated videos and narrated PowerPoint lecture videos covering the eras each week? I think you had the perfect amount of participation in the course.
    What did you like best about the course? If you could change the course in any way to better meet your needs, what would you change? I'm open to suggestions and creative solutions. I liked how this course was serious, but also fun at the same time. I think if there were fewer videos that were shorter, I would better be able to complete the course with a higher grade.

They will really help you in the long run and should be taken seriously. The amount of stress I had about the quizzes vanished instantly when I saw that it was all about the readings and the lectures.

It can get a bit stressful if you do not manage your workload though. My advice would be to make sure you balance your assignments so that way it won't seem overwhelming and you can enjoy the class! Professor Michelle is super supportive! So with that being said, she is there to answer any questions you have!]]> 2023-05-18 17:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2596545707 Have fun and don't stress out https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2596746289 We have so many classes in college and each of us know how much we are juggling. So my biggest advice is that you will get where you want to go, you will achieve what you want to achieve, just take a step back and remind yourself that you have your studies to look our for but more that that, you have yourself to look out for. Breathe when necessary, cry when necessary and watch Netflix when necessary. We all need that! Manage your time with your goal in mind and grind till the time you want to. Take a break and grind. You can do this. You can overcome challenges in any class. Good luck guys and have a great year ahead. ]]> 2023-05-18 20:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2596746289 Stay on track! https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2600880124 I suggest that you do the extra credit work as its assigned and stay on track at all times. Ask the teacher if you need help or have any questions. She is very helpful and patient. Enjoy the class. ]]> 2023-05-23 02:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2600880124 Pace your learning throughout the week. https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2601070797 The class is interesting in the blend of music history and appreciation of the art. It becomes harder to understand and enjoy the material if you cram the module and contents in one weekend or day. It'll make you not have fun learning and doing the projects. I found it helpful to spread my learning throughout the weekdays by listening to the audio content while reading or doing something else. The listening part helped me not get frustrated at looking through all the resonance readings and videos in one or two study sessions. That helped me review the contents on Fridays and take the quizzes/exams. And if life is getting too hectic, don't be afraid to message the professor for help. She's fast with her responses and reasonable with extensions. :>]]> 2023-05-23 04:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2601070797 Music 0002 https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2602868976 Try not to overwork yourself, but also remember your professor is there to help when you need it]]> 2023-05-24 06:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2602868976 Plan Ahead and Don't Fall Behind. -By Sean P. https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2605848060 If you can do your best to do all assignments on time or even before they are due, then you will be in the best position moving forward and won't have to stress about cramming before the midterm or final. If I had to start the course over, I would try and get ahead in the course earlier to accommodate for things I had going on. Just read all the materials provided, take the time, learn about music, and apply the knowledge into the short assignments and assessments. ]]> 2023-05-26 06:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/michellecoder/qz1a9xy932mv7lp/wish/2605848060
