I once had a Music History professor who did nothing but talk about Wagner. Now that wouldn't have been so bad, except that he talked about him in Medieval and Renaissance Music History...the history of music that was written hundreds of years before Wagner was even born! This continued for four semesters, through Baroque, Classical, and Romantic Music History (thank the good Lord I got a different professor for Twentieth-Century).
On top of that, he liked to give us about eight ninety-minute tapes worth of music, including entire symphonies, for listening, and then he would play "Name that Tune" on our tests.
It was truly awful. Too bad. He was really a very nice and incredibly knowledgeable man, he just couldn't teach worth anything.
