She's really passionate about opera and also has a lot of interesting discussions with students in class. Overall the class was well-organized and had fair tests. Lecture atttendance is not mandatory but you really should go because a lot of the material in lecture could come up on quizzes.

Really great professor who is super passionate about opera. Large portion of grade were quizzes which weren't bad if you engaged in lecture. Didn't like or know much about opera coming in but this class made it aight coming out

I was never interested in Chinese opera until now; I thought it was a strange art form. But since Professor Guy has incorporated the art along with Chinese history, I've come to appreciate it and what it stands for.

I really like this opera course! It inspires me a lot on classical music! Her exams have many extra credit so do not worry, lecture is interesting (and I personally like the lecture's length) discussion is mandatory.

Comment:

There are readings but you don't have to do them. Just go to class and she'll tell you what will be on the exams. There were 3 quizzes and no final. The quizzes are easy if you review the listening list and just again, go to class and pay attention. She occasionally speaks Chinese which is funny because Chinese Internationals get surprised lol.

She is wonderful, I've never seen a professor that really loves their subject so much and it really makes the class so much more enjoyable. She tells fun stories and clearly explains the material so that you never feel left behind or confused (as long as you go to class). I went in not really liking opera but will now make the effort to go see one

Fantastic instructor with a passion for her material. Even if the course material weren't interesting (which it is) Professor Guy alone is enough reason to take the course.

I like music, but I wasn't expecting to get so into opera just from this class. Prof. Guy is really passionate & knowledgeable about the subject & her enthusiasm is contagious. There were only 3 quizzes but they aren't difficult, she explicitly states that she doesn't want them to be difficult. She's really just focused on students' learning

Comment:

Prof Guy is very knowledgeable about Chinese opera (of course) and is also quite entertaining at times, referencing pop culture or making other slight tangents. She's definitely very strict about classroom etiquette (and not without reason).

Extremely passionate and awesome professor! I entered the without the realization that it was going to be solely on Chinese Opera. Definitely not my favorite music form, but it was truly a good learning experience and Professor Guy present the material so that you always stay intrigued.

Prof Guy is passionate about music, especially opera. She got us through 150 years of music history in one quarter which wasn't easy. I enjoyed going to lecture and am glad to have had a chance to write a music research paper. She walked us through the research and writing process.
