Comment:
Dr. Carol is resistant to questions, especially if it was something you were supposed to know prior to the class. She will answer questions by saying "you are supposed to know that" or "well that is in the textbook" which I think really detracted students from asking questions. Overall she is very nice and an easy grader.

Comment:
Dr. Carol talks very quietly but if you listen, she will tell you everything you need to know. She is a fine musician, theorist, and composer and knows exactly what she's talking about. The more advanced class it is, the more fun it is. Definitely difficult, but if you work hard, you'll be fine.

Comment:
Dr. Carol is AMAZING. She will always help you if you need it. Yes, she is extremely soft spoken, and her class requires you to listen, but if I do, I promise you will learn something. After you have taken a few of her classes, they will become even more fun. She's a great lady and she REALLY knows her stuff!

Comment:
Dr. Carol is an excellent theorist and composer, so she's kind of hard to follow sometimes. ALWAYS TAKE NOTES IN HER CLASS!!!! Read the material before you discuss it in class, chances are there WILL be a reading quiz. She's hard and expects intelligent thought but knows when you're properly applying theory and will credit you for that.

knows her theory and is really helpful. just don't take her class if passive agressive is a problem for you...this is not a teacher who will push you, but she will mark you down if you don't push yourself.

One of the nicest teachers i've ever had! VERY kind. She's a brilliant musician and is really helpful. I've learned so much from her, and i've never heard a negative comment from her. Just be on time for class, do the work and you're good to go.

She is VERY kind. Do all the assignments (on time) and you'll be fine. Tests are not difficult if some effort is put into them. Read what she wants you to read and all her helpful instruction will be easily understood. You'll learn a lot!
