David Snable

David is very passionate about Music. He is also very knowledgeable about the history of music. He gives good feedback on assignments. He is also humorous in some ways. He uses a lot visual aids to make students remember the music and the name of the song(s) for upcoming tests/exams. Overall, great professor.

This course is great if you're in a busy program, such as myself, and cannot spare much time on your liberals. There were only 3 major evaluations (a precis and 2 tests) and were all very easy in my opinion -- IF you attend class (since there is no textbook required) and study/write based on HIS outlines. *Beware: the course was quite boring.

Peculiar. Teaches history of music, world music, progression of music. Writes key words on board & talks. Take own notes. Lots of youtube videos. Boring, pay attention! 2 tests, one 4 page essay. No exam. Each test study 7 instrumental pieces that sound the same & definitions,He'll play 5. Must write title, composer, answer any other q# there are.

Little peculiar. Teaches history/theory of music, different world music, how music started & progressed. Writes key words, some phrases on board. Take more notes on ur own. A lot of youtube videos (guy playing flute etc). Boring, easy if u pay attention. 2 tests,4 page essay. No exam. Test study everything he taught in lecture Hint: (definitions)

Although he doesn't have a lot of assignments or exams, the down side is, each are worth a lot. If you mess up one, you basically failed to reach that minimum 70% He is pretty funny but he can also be rude Overall, don't hate him, but hate the course

Prof Snable is one of the worst profs I've ever had. For an intro course, he thinks everyone has preliminary knowledge which sucks. Also, his tests are WAY too specific. He'll test you on something he may have only mentioned once. This was supposed to be a bird course, yet is the lowest mark I had in the term.

David Snable is the funniest professor at Ryerson! He's really witty, sarcastic, and passionate about music history. However, it is mandatory that you come to his class and copy his notes and memorize them for the tests, which will be easy if you it study hard. He also marks his essays/precis hard you cannot wing it.

My favourite prof I've ever had! He is hilarious, and loves what he teaches. He is very knowledgable and very clear. If you take good notes you will be fine for the tests. I did extremely well in the class by listening. The precis essay was of average difficulty, but if you follow his tips, you can get a great grade! Take this class!

One of my favourite professors and I've had many! Everything you need to know for the tests is written on the board when you come to class. The subject itself isn't extremely stimulating however his quirky sarcastic comments made me want to come to class even at 8 am. He's hilarious as long as you don't have a dry sense of humour and get sarcasm.
