Comment:

She is a super nice lady, but she expects too much out of you. From analyzing music and writing lab reports, to all the things we have to memorize in order to pass. Yes, she offers a ton of extra credit but it's a lot to memorize, especially with all your other classes. Take Visual Literacy.

Comment:

She is a great lady and is extremely respectful as long as you are. The class is probably one of the easiest you will take in college and requires almost no work. The exams are the same as the study guide so they can be an easy A. She definitely makes the class entertaining.

Comment:

Expects everyone to know everything about music and make this class a priority. Thinks we're all music majors. Test is study guide but there is alot of information. She talks about stuff that doesnt pertain to what we're learning. Gives bonus points. Critical with grammar. Expects attendance and participation for points. SIGN UP TO WATCH THE CLOCK!

Comment:

Her appreciation class is the easiest class I have taken. If you are willing to study, you will get an A no probelm. She gives tons of extra credit and follows the study guide exactly. She is passionate about what she teaches. Unless you are actually going to read what she suggests (not necessary) don't buy the book. I got over a 100% without it.

Comment:

This class was an utter joke. Quite possibly the worst class that I have taken. It was ridiculously easy and I came out learning nothing more about music than I already knew. I honestly think my life could have been better without this class.

She doesn't direct. She yells. She'll ask a question, then yell at you for talking when you answer. Avoid classes with her and your life will be more enjoyable.

She is losing it as she gets older. It needs to be done at her 3rd grade level of thinking. Frankly really annoying. Doesn't even know what she's talking about in an INTRO class.

Comment:

I could have passed her class in elementary school. It was really that easy and she teaches so you remember it and never have to study. Everybody loves music so take the class it's a piece of cake. I've heard don't take it with Bates though, just D'Arca.

Extremely easy! She tells you EXACTLY what is on the midterm and final. Literally hands you an exact copy to study from. She cancels class a lot too.

Comment:

Easiest class I've ever taken! If you listen to music, you'll get it and will never need to study. She's got more energy than the class combined though...and the class is huge. However it's REALLY easy and she's not a bad teacher at all, and she's very nice. Take it as a gen-ed, honestly. It's a piece of cake.

Comment:

I am a dual music major so I had no interest taking this class. Should be an easy A for anyone just because of the amount of extra credit. She gives you the mid-term and final before hand so there is no excuse not to know it, watch out for concert reports, satan grades them, I got a 14% on my first one. Boring class, boring material, easy A.

It was a mistake for me to take this class...her choice of music is rediculous and boring. She also shows no personality and cares little about making the choir class interesting.

Comment:

Easy teacher, but doesn't take much interest in helping people out. She gives extra credit, but not because she thinks it's appropriate, it's just stupid stuff. Also, she holds grudges like nobody's business. Plain and simple, annoying as hell.

So much extra credit, and you get the exact exams ahead of time. Anyone who doesn't get an A isn't trying very hard.
