There are 3 tests that cover material covered in the lectures. During the lectures various songs are played and historical facts discussed that relate to these artists and their music. You can be tested on any of these facts so it is imperative that notes be taken during the lectures. These tests are listening tests where songs are played in their entirety and you are required to write data about the songs on pre-printed examination sheets. TEST NOTES
