Comment:
She is a very sweet professor who is looking out for the best in everyone and always wants to help if she can. Sometimes, it does feel like we are treated as if we aren't in college, but these introductory music classes also have that sense to begin with. She provides a lot of help and gives a lot of feedback on quizzes. She is a great professor!

She is VERY enthusiastic, but that's what makes the learning exciting as it's through a computer. Her grading isn't always the most clear so it's helpful to email before a quiz is due to clarify if you have questions. There's always extra credit available and she is always willing to set up an appointment for extra help. I'd recommend her though!

Comment:
She's way too enthusiastic for it to feel genuine. Students do improve under her, but not as much as they probably would under another teacher. This class has everyone from freshman to senior in it, so you would expect differing levels of difficulty for each student, but she really doesn't push anyone past a freshman level.

Very very nice woman, show up and work on the curriculum and you'll pass, but make sure you practice the chord progressions or you'll fail for sure. She is a great pianist ... go see her during a recital and you'll be amazed. Accompanies for her clarinet playing hubby quite often, and he is amazing as well.

Comment:
A very succesful teacher, but not a personable one. Behind her "kind" smile is a hidden agenda. She is not a genuine teacher and uses her position to make students feel insecure and inferior.
