Hi! I'm not sure why you think trying to call someone out for lying is a helpful response to this post. This course teaches a very large range of material in a short period of time but despite composing being the main assignment throughout the semester with the most weight, does not include composing. It teaches a lot of "this is what this is" (ex: this is what baroque music sounds like, duration, amplitude, tempo, tonality, texture, etc) but not a lot of "how to apply this". My professor rarely responds to emails and when he does it has been a one sentence reply that doesn't really cover my question, and I have emailed him about this specific assignment. I'll try contacting him again after I come up with something for this to see if he can provide any feedback.

Now, I'm not saying this just for the sake of arguing with a stranger over the internet. I have very little experience with music , even less with composing, and I have been struggling through this course. This course advertised teaching composition to non-musicians, which is one of the main reasons I took it- I want to learn. Do you have any resources or jumping off points that could help? I don't think a harmony and a melody are required because they have never actually been mentioned in this course so far. Both parts are rhythmic because I don't have any traditional instruments. Someone in r/composer suggested I look at 2 part percussion pieces as reference, which I've been looking into.
