Comment:
YES, Dr. Ferrell is a tough grader, and she does interrupt you during your lecture, but there's a reason behind that. What wasn't mentioned was that she allows you to redo your papers until you get a grade YOU want, and she just asks you questions because she needs to know if you truly understand your material. She also apologizes for talking over.

she completely changed the way i listen to music! she knows what she is talking about and you could see the passion she puts toward what she teaches, it is refreshing. the course itself wasn't very hard, just dedicate alot of time to memorizing what she teaches and it's all good. very fun teacher and class overall!

Comment:
Dr. Ferrell gave me such a respect for music and she is such an inspiration. She's a fun teacher, easy to follow, and she makes sure that everyone understands the material. The assignments are not too hard and even though the tests are fill in the blank, they are still easy if you take good notes and study. I highly recommend her!!!

Dr. Ferrell is probably one of my most favorite teachers ever! She made the learning so fun and her class was not just lecture. We played games and sang songs. I felt like I really learned a lot from her, and by the end of the quarter, I really missed her.

After reading reviews I was dreading taking this course but Dr. Ferrell is the only music 310 teacher. The only word to describe her is AMAZING! She is a wonderful person and incredible teacher. There is quite a bit of information to learn but she makes it clear and easy. My most dreaded teacher ended up being a favorite!

If you do the work, take good notes, and study, you will get an A. There is a lot of information in a short amount of time, if you miss a day you miss a lot. Take really good notes. She comes off rude, but she really isn't. We are in college people! You actually have to work in this class, sorry!

Take good notes. Memorize them long enough to pass tests. Way too much information in small time. Can't miss more than 1 class or grade drops. Required to go to 5 events at night on campus. Lots of papers. Grades very HARD. Rude to students during ORAL presentation. I passed with a B+ and it was a miserable 10 weeks.

Comment:
Acts like a Texas doll but is really a nightmare. She treats you like a 1st grader and will give you an F- without even looking at your paper if you don't use Times New Roman font. She will look at you stupid if you try to validate answers you got wrong. She says she doesn't put emotion into her grading, but an F-!!!Might as well give me an E-.

Professor Ferrell is very knowledgable in her field but a little bit of a nazi! Overall, you could learn a lot from her because she knows a lot but the way she crams it down your throat is ridiculous! Just make sure you take a lot of notes!

She's very nice, I had a lot of fun in her class. Although her syllabus is thick enough to knock someone out if you hit them with it, she's still a great professor.

Comment:
Dr. Ferrell is extremely intelligent. She has a very difficult personality and can come across as self centered, arrogant, and insensitive to some of her selected students. If you desire a pleasant experience in this class, get flash cards, agree with everything she says, and make strong efforts to not react to her abrasive character.

She was okay. She's a nice person but she is very nitpickety with papers. I am not an English major or by any means the best writer but I have taken many writing classes and done very well. Until this class I had never had so many markings on a paper, which I thought was pretty extreme. Class cost me some money too(i.e. concerts,workshop,books)
