Comment:

Avoid!!! Useless and should not be teaching. How did he ever get hired with the attitude he has. Self absorbed and more interested in condemning rather than helping. No matter how hard you work he will still make fun of you. Who made him the music God?!?!

Comment:

Class was super slack, does not prepare you for the 200 level musicianship. Originally thought the prof was an easy going pothead, but he's bipolar. Junkie shouldn't be teaching. Avoid at all costs!

Gene is one of the nicest professors ever. He is extremely helpful, and genuinely wants students to do their best. Just be sure to speak up if you have a question, and don't be afraid to repeat yourself - he's a little deaf =).

Comment:

Nicest professor ever. I was worried about going into a singing class until I was in it and realized how nice and comfortable everyone was with him at the help. Supportive, innocent, caring. He made me want to work for a good mark just because it felt right. If you practice, you'll be fine. So much personality! Such a good prof!!!!!!

Eugene is probably the nicest guy I know. He creates such a comfortable and friendly atmosphere, which is really necessary for something like sight singing. I learned so much from this class. Excellent prof.

Eugene gives lots of in class practice time and minimal homework. He encourages quite a comraderie within the class by singing lots of songs about pirates.

Extremely polite and nice. Great professor. However, there's one problem: his jokes are truly horrible and he repeats them frequently!

Comment:

He is nice, and 115 is fairly easy, except for trying to stay awake. I thought this class would be fun and easy marks but noooooo. It will put you into a coma... seriously it is really hard to go to class at all, let alone stay awake once your there. Beware of Classical music.

Gene is a very generous marker and tells anecdotes, if you like that sort of thing (I do!) Also, he's super-nice... You can't go wrong with Gene!

Gene is the sweetest man alive and he knows his stuff. He's kind of easily distracted, but sometimes that can work to your advantage. If you know what I mean.

Comment:

best prof I had all year. You can't blame him for 115, I mean, listening to music? It's for non-music majors, and was INVENTED to be easy credit. No one can make that interesting. Learned lots from 170, more than I thought I would.

He stole 80 hours of my life and I want them back. The class is only hard because it's hard to be motivated to go. REALLY hard.

Gene-y is a TOP prof! one of the nicests at UVIC. If youve ever listened to a piece of music in your life youll ace this class. just read the text dont even bother with the class... it's pretty much a huge joke.
