At UW, the equivalent class is nicknamed "Clapping for Credit." It has I think ten class sessions, you talk about basic structures of music and so on, and you have to provide proof that you've gone to at least 4 performances of live music during the quarter. Class comes with free or discounted tickets to some on-campus classical performances to make sure people can get to 4.
But while I'm glad they're making ethnomusicology accessible, this leads to awful cluelessness. I'm sorry the teacher didn't know how to shut her down.
