Comment:

He sent out music scores and messages thru email by names that he could think of thru his own Google account which led that I had never received any music scores and messages for the whole quarter after several essential emails at the beginning of the quarter eventually. The worst thing is he blamed that's my fault that I didn't his messages.

Comment:

This professor is a joke. Asked students to contact him only by email but provided a wrong email in the syllabus. Made changes to test dates but never made any announcements about the changes. The lessons he provided have no details about the things you need to learn to complete the assignments, and there is no textbook to use.

Comment:

Not a very tough class for me. Rarely any quizzes. Main assignments were two tests and a concert report based on a concert you attend. Tests were straight forward and you just answered questions with an essay so it was on your own time. Only issue I had was he took so long to grade things I hardy ever knew what my score was

Comment:

Tayerle posts lessons Monday - Friday on catalyst. He types the lessons himself and includes external links in his postings. It is a little difficult to understand what he is trying to say about a topic because he does not type very clear sentences. Do not take if you have no musical background, otherwise it will be very confusing.

Comment:

Every day there would be a lecture or reading/listening assignment, but graded quizes were less frequent (maybe once a week or once every 2 weeks). The 4 top assignments--2 tests, one report, and one final--were what mattered most. If you followed the class enough, you'll do well on the assignments.

Comment:

This class is an easy A if you do the work and stay tuned in. There are a few quizzes, two tests and one final. Overall easy class. For the final you will need to attend a symphony, I recommend seeing the De Anza Chamber Orchestra in which Professor Tayerle plays. Its a great performance and an easy A for your final if you take notes

Comment:

He expects you to make a commitment to attend rehearsals, be on time and stay for the entire duration. He gets frustrated if his students don't do what he simply asks, and may take it out on the entire orchestra. Overall, I enjoyed playing in this chamber orchestra, and look forward to another great quarter with it.

This class probably would have been interesting if he would have explained why most of the assignments wouldn't open up. He was very sarcastic when I asked him questions and was not helpful at all. I have never met a teacher so rude.

This professor is not student friendly. He is curses at you when you ask him a question that he could very quickly and easily answer. It was a horrible experience.

I don't know why people are complaining on here about him either? Well I took his class and did pretty good and I'm no genius. Just stay on top of the assignments and you'll be fine. No complaints here!

Anyone complaining about his online class, probably just do the work and is now complain about their lack of effort. Yes you have to check the site every day.. But this is an online class.. Get over it. I'm not a straight A student but I managed an A in his class. Good teacher.
