Absolutely love Professor Rhyneer! MU 125 is an A but since I dont have a musical background I actually learned more than I expected. Lec's are easy and fun when she brings in instruments. Test are all online and she takes the questions right from the study guide. Its very easy to get above 100%.

Dr. Rhyneer is a great professor! She is very passionate about the material. Plays her violin, plays piano, and sings as examples. Exams are easy to pass as long as you go to class. Would definitely recommend her in the future!

Dr. Rhyneer is probably one of the best professors that I've had at NMU. She would always make funny remarks and talk about pulling pranks with the class. I also learned a lot from her class.

I have had her for 3 classes. Not only does Dr. Rhyneer go above and beyond to help students, she's a lot of fun. She is so open and so willing to talk to students. She cares a great deal about her students and she's real with them because she wants to see them succeed. I look forward to being her student during the rest of my time at NMU.

I LOVED her! I have a strong background in music, so it was a very, very easy. If you don't, don't fret. Just read the book and listen in class, which isn't hard. Her energy keeps you interested. She quickly became my favorite professor. However, don't talk during her lectures. She haaaates it. If you want to stay on her good side, participate in class but don't talk to others while she's doing her lecture.

Great teacher and very fun. her style of teaching makes you want to learn. She is very energetic and funny, before every test she does a review which covers all the material on the tests. Any time you need help she is always there to help!!

She is very friendly and obviously knows her stuff. The note outlines and daily review questions are crystal clear and make this a very easy class. She provides lots of musical examples in class (both on CD and played on the piano/violin)... overall, there's no reason to not show up (even though attendance is optional) and no reason not to get an A

Comment:
This is one of the liberal studies classes everyone ends up having to take, but she made it worth crawling out of bed in the morning for. Partly cause she's a good teacher, and also cause she had us doing presentations on music we like, so it really covered all kinds of music by the end, not just classical or whatever. Easy & fun way to get an "A"

She is a very real person, and wonderfully nice to most people. I'd seen her shoot some glares at people who talk non-stop in class, and especially those that do the whole "drop off my assignment and leave class" thing. Rightfully so, people can be very disrespectful in her class. I learned a lot, the exams really grade on knowledge, not luck.

A very cheerful lady who does her best to improve the orchestra. She's an excellent violinist and also extremely humble. A great private lesson teacher as well.

Comment:
This is a basic music appreciation class. What was sweet was she let the students kick in a lot and share our music, not just hers. She was into classical but other stuff too, open to new ideas. Some of the tests were a little hard if I didn't read or show up for the review, but she really pretty much told us what was on the tests so can't complain
