"Not an effective program at all.  While concepts are introduced, the many examples necessary to demonstrate the differences and distinctions of within the concepts taught is lacking.  Reference links to musictheory.net are nice, but equally superficial.  Time signature pedagogy is, bluntly, awful.  It is one thing to state a signature and explain them at the most superficial level,  and then a terrible failing when there is no robust discussion of how to read those signatures within the note pattern (as opposed to from the explicit signature.)  This is not a course appropriate for one without meaningful (e.g., not beginner) training.  Money wasted is one thing, having one's time wasted is clearly another as time is the one commodity we cannot replace and never have enough of. \nThere are some errors in the exam questions too.  Awkward word choice leads to ambiguity and occasionally, simply, none of the answers are correct (nor do they score correctly).  Lastly, wrong exercise/test answers should be marked with what the correct choice was and WHY, given the example or question, it is the correct answer.  Indeed, more work for the instructor, but that is why we are hear, non?"
