This woman is all over the place. The beginning of the semester was fine and I was learning a lot, but over the course of the semester, this course felt like a high school class. There's little to no work and she's incredibly scatter-brained and will ramble on about absolutely nothing. Worst teacher in the MIRT MajorMinor here.

She kept things interesting and I learned a lot in this class. If you're ever unclear about any assignment, she's always willing to help. She offers a lot of opportunities for extra credit also.

Comment:
She is all over the place when she is teaching. You have to attend the class before the test so that you will know what to study. The class consists of a powerpoint, concert critique, and 8 quizzes. She is really nice and ask about extra credit. This class is not about POPULAR music it is the history of American music.

Maybe her teaching style just isn't for me but I can not stand this class. I was expecting a history of rock and roll class to be a nice break from my other classes but I think I'd rather be in system modeling than in this class

She does not know how to teach! everyday she puts on a dvd and then you sit and watch. Everyday watch dvd and she talks over it. This class is of no value to anyone. The tests are outrageous because she does not teach so be ready to read the entire textbook. I got an A, but i got lucky and guessed well on the tests. I do not recommend this teacher.

This is my favorite class that I have taken so far. Lectures are enjoyable, and Prof. Knisely is extremely helpful and cares about her students. Would recommend to another student in a second.

She is such an awesome teacher, does her best to get everyone involved in the class at someone point, and the projects actually aren't useless, you really do learn something about the music industry world.

She is awesome-very enthusiastic!! She lectures, shows pertinent vidoes and we listened to music. She kept an interesting pace. The tests were a little challenging but if you read the chapters and notes, they were easier. She is truly a nice person and compassionate and friendly with the students. I'd recommend her.

Very nice lady, shows a lot of videos, do the extra credit and you are good. Do well on the listening quizzes and you'll make it easier on yourself. don't take her if you have a class right after in grantley hall or mckay because she does let you out a few minutes late.

Kind of flakey. Kind of pointless. Not bad though. You watch a lot of movies. Just go over your notes/bolded words in the book and you will do fine on written tests. But focus mainly on listening its a lot easier that way. Do the extra credit and you have an A if you get 70s on all the tests (did the math). Lets you out a few min late though.

Chaos reigns, but she is a musician. Give respect and participate in class for a good grade and plenty of extra credit ops. Tests are RIGHT out of the book, usually from the boxed/highlighted areas at that. <3 a Music Industry Minor...
