Comment:
Began with optimism for my first semester with online classes, took 2 in fact. Dropped this one after the first week. Professor's instructions were all over the map and I could not figure out what she wanted. She was good about getting back to those with questions but answers did little to clarify. Think she would be great in a classroom setting.

MU 107 - Online. I took this class accelerated, online. It was a hard for me but I am able to read sheet music. It got easier. Not that much work. I didn't put forth that much effot. Open book, fairly easy tests. Not sure how I pulled off an A. With a little effort, its not a problem class at all. Teacher is nice.

She is one of the greatest professor I've ever had. I took CO169 with her several years ago without any music theory and I got a A through hard work. She made what's impossible possible for me and I greatly appreciate her. I am hoping to have the privilage to be her students again some day after finishing my current MU100.

I took the online class and it was tough! This is not an easy class in any way and you will have to do work in order to get a good grade. The tests were very hard and I it is hard to get a good grade on them!(She is a hard grader)Sometimes her instructions were not clear. I learned a lot about music but I don't recommend taking the online class.

Comment:
She was a little scary in the morning with her happy energy but I honestly liked her as a person and the class in general. However she can be very rude and critical about your work and almost expects perfection without any real direction. I'm honestly not sure if I would take her class again.

What are all these people talking about? I took this class online, and it was GREAT! Hello kids, this is a college course so it is WORK! Online courses have and should have just as much work as a classroom course. This professor is VERY KIND, KNOWLEDGEABLE, and FAIR. Do your work, turn it in on time, and you'll enjoy AND do well in this class.

Comment:
WORST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD! She's so incompetent I had to drop the class. She expects you to instantly play, sightread, and COMPOSE by the SECOND CLASS, even if you never touched a piano before. Her idea of teaching is making you play along with a CD, while complaining about weak knuckles. DO NOT TAKE HER PIANO CLASS IF YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED BEFORE!

Grace is a knowledgeable teacher and she requires a lot of work, but it was a great course because I was able to learn and appreciate new music, and if you did the work you get a good grade. I would recomend this course.

Although she gave you second chances on your papers, she was snippy. If you don't need this class, don't take it. Even if it is online, you are pulling full time work behind you.

Not a good teacher. Most of our assignments were online discussions and listening logs, a total waste of time, it felt like a lot of busy work. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS, you're graded on participation and attendance, you also have to attend the GR syphony, there's a lot of outside work to do.

This Class was ok at the begining, but towards the middle and end of class everything had to be her way. there are many different ways to play the piano that is positioning. she was very unhelpful and discoraging. i would not recomend this class to anyone who does not have to take it for credit.

She was very hard at grading, it's almost impossible to get a perfect score. Your grade is based on class presentations that you have to do. When the students did their reports it was a fun class otherwise it was boring.
