Comment:

The textbook is online and she posts homework assignments on the textbook. I would recommend buying the textbook because the homework assignments are 25 points of your grade. She does take attendance but the class is not that hard just got to know your music history, two exams are online and the other two exams are listening exmas in class.

This class is fun. You learn to play the piano by taking it, but she wasn't a great prof at times. She's nice but she definitely could get to know her students better. She told me I never went to class during my solo when I was there everyday and then said no you missed a lot when I proceeded to say otherwise. Got A- instead of A because of it.

Overall she is a nice women. Although ,I struggled throughout the course. She was unorganized and disoriented. Almost every class we sat and listened to music, that is if the she was even able to get the computer to work.

Comment:

I would say that she is funny not in the way of like humor, but just in the sense of it being funny, in my opinion to watch her try to figure out the tech things while in class or even have another student help her get things set up...

This class was an easy A. Pretty much just show up and do the handouts and you'll be fine. The tests aren't too hard if you pay attention. Learning how to play the recorder is a must for this class.

If you don't have a slight music background, then not sure if this is the class for you. All assignments are online and most of them are listening activities. Overall, its a pretty easy class.

Comment:

We barely made it through half the syllabus. Her grading system made no sense. She is not good with technology and that interfered a lot. She spent a lot of class time complaining about the room, and blaming its set-up for her inability to keep us engaged. She did not convey information clearly, including what she wanted us to be doing in class.

Comment:

This woman has no idea what she's doing. We waste so much class time doing busy work, its ridiculous. If you have even the slightest musical background at all don't waste your time with this class. Don't bother trying to ask her questions because she won't know the answer or get frazzled and just won't answer you. Avoid this professor at all costs.

Comment:

Only took her class because it had the Diversity requirement, which didn't make any sense. You would think after 3/4 years or so that she would have technology figured out, still has no idea how to work the SMART board. Her lectures are very disorganized and she spends a long time on the concepts she teaches, so don't worry if you miss it at first.

Comment:

Everyone bags on Dr. Darmiento because she isn't good with technology but if you looked past that aspect of her she is so knowledgeable about music. And it is hard to connect with students when my Music and Culture class had about 150 kids in it. She knows her stuff just not technology, get over it.

Comment:

dr darmiento is usually ripped on for not knowing how to use technology..this is true but it's sometimes funny. She is passionate about what she does and is helpful when you have a question. She is pretty busy, though, so do not count on her getting things done in a timely manner. very nice person, easy class.

Comment:

Awful professor. She just plays music in class and expects you to teach yourself the material in the textbook outside of class. YouTube is a foreign concept to her as you will spend at least 20 min of class while she tries to figure out her computer or any piece of technology. VERY easy class if you have a music background

Not a fan. Not good with technology, and whenever listening exercises were played in class, she talked over them constantly. Repeats everything like a broken record.

Terribly boring to listen to. Tests are easy if you study. Like others have said, she's terrible with technology. Don't take her if you don't have to.

Good professor who knows her stuff. Very approachable and understanding. Is passionate about music. Unfortunately there are some very immature students in the class.

Comment:

This professor is extremely disorganized. Most of the classes are spent watching videos or waiting for her to figure out to work her computer. Attendance isn't mandatory, but she has students randomly write journal entries at the end of class for a grade. Homework is easy, but she is unclear on what needs to be done for the class. Avoid this class.

Comment:

This lady couldn't use technology if her life depended on it. She says that you don't have to know music to take the class, but she assumes everyone knows certain things that everyone might not know. She drives me nuts.

Loved the class! Very fun. She is very passionate about music. You do have to study to pass her tests, but the material is nothing one can't learn. Professor Darmiento is very funny and a little quirky, and that makes the class more enjoyable. I recommend taking her class.

Comment:

Horrible professor! Does'nt know how to work with technology and will spend the first half of class trying to get things work. Does'nt know how to control a class and does'nt make anything interesting. She tries to teach a lecture hall like a small classroom. She is always shushing the class and very irritable. I love music and hate this class!!
