Unless you're doing music theory II/III tier shit, then you should be at an A
Honestly the intro to music theory I took was pretty hard. Lots of theory and detail to learn along with having to be able to distinguish various eras of music and explain in great detail how they differ. It's definitely not a course like sociology that you can sleep through.

STEM students stereotype those classes as "easy A's" so the professors tend to artificially increase the difficulty just to haze their students/make them take it seriously.

Literally, that's it.
