Comment:

Disorganized. Required us to buy two readers, one at start of class and another later with readings she forgot to put in first. Surprise mandatory concert at end of week 0. Well-versed in Western musical traditions, not so sure about her knowledge of INDIAN ones. Lots of guests to compensate, would have preferred prof more familiar with material

Comment:

This class wasn't what I was looking for. Every class period seems somewhat disorganized. Furthermore, she makes us buy readers and supplemental readings from CalCopy off campus, and makes us make extra trips to concerts and to Geisel to complete many of the written assignments. The time it takes to finish this class isn't worth the learning

Comment:

DISORGANIZED. Lecture confusing. Talks all about her relationship with Ravi Shankar. Does not answer emails. Required us to buy Indian music CDs and use liner notes for assignment. My CD didn't have liner notes. Had to guess on assignment-got a B. 4 essays, 2 concert reports, exams are all Fill-In and essay questions. DO NOT TAKE.

Comment:

i had no problem following her lecture. there was no drama in my class, though she did state at the beginning of the quarter that she leaves her cell phone on in class in case her daughter needs her. never happened in my class. topics include: post colonial issues, globalization, race, gender, authenticity. she's well spoken, intelligent.

BEWARE - disorganized and talks to kid on phone in class. If you want a living soap opera, this class has it all - divorce, drama and unrequited love! If you want to learn something, stay away!

Comment:

Not at all helpfull. This class has an agenda of its own and does not correspond to what it says on the class schedule. If its not your major dont take it cause it requires a lot of reading and a commitment to attend performances throughout the quarter without really any guidelines on how to write the reports!

Not organized and does not respond to e-mails. Talks a lot about her divorce. Does have a bit of an accent but is still very understandable, just seems very disorganized.

Comment:

Clearly has mastery of her subject. She organizes her lectures very well and gives lots of extra credit. This course is a lot of work--most schools take two years to cover everything in UCSD's music 120, but she does a good job covering everything.

Comment:

Great Proff. A lot of assignments, but offers a lot of extra credit. This course is very interesting. A lot of material to cover for the midterm and final, doesn't give a study guide, but goes over the format. In class she goes over the reading.
