Such a great prof. Extremely helpful with assignments and tests. No problems with availability and she actually responds to your emails the same month that you send them (other profs...). I would absolutely recommend her, probably the best prof I've had.

Extremely nice lady, awesome prof. I took the course in Winter 2013, absolutely loved it. Encouraged participation, was very reasonable (I dropped in some assignments late or emailed them, she accepted). Lectures were actually fun, and she gave a lot of directions for the final essay (had a huge Beatles essay prepared, helped me narrow down a lot)

Best prof and course ever. She really brings education back to its roots: for the joy of learning. If you get nothing else out of your time at UW, take a course with her. 332 is amazing. Laura is great at guiding you through the course and making it even more fascinating. Least useful course I took that term but the only one I never wanted to miss.

An amazing prof who is always smiling and loves music! Her passion for opera is clear and I learned so much from her. Extremely accomodating and so long as you attend class and take notes her exams are easy-peasy! I'm actually going to miss the weekly opera discussions. :(

Really great prof! Makes students feel more than just numbers within the university system. She's clear in her guidelines, and wants her students to do well. Incredibly approachable - if you need help, she's very willing to offer it. Hard to do well if you don't go to class. She knows her stuff!

Laura is seriously one of the nicest people in the world. She takes a genuine interest in students, and makes a point of learning everyone's name, even in large classes. Some of her classes I found a little bit slow (easy), but still ended up learning quite a bit. World Music is one of the best!!

Laura Gray is a fantastic Professor that is able to present musical material in such a way that non-music students can understand. She also expresses great interest in the course and music that she is teaching, which helps the class to feel excited too.

I love Dr. Gray. She obviously enjoys her job. All profs should aspire to be like her. She is very flexible too. If you have religoious issues about exam dates, she is happy and willing to accomodate. She also listens to alternative ideas you have about assignments. She rules. Period.

I met Dr. Gray during the March Break program. She is very prompt about returning emails too. I emailed her about something; I had a response within an hour and a half. I'm registered for World Music during the autumn term due to interest and because she's teaching. She treats you like you're an actual human being rather than a number.

Definitely the best prof I've had since coming to UW! I took the course for enjoyment & to fulfill A/B Requirements. It's so refreshing to have a prof that really cares about what she is teaching and is so passionate about it. She's really helpful if you need to see her outside of class and really wants everyone to succeed. She is extremely fair.

I'm terrible at history so I was unsure about this class. One of the best decisions I've ever made. Laura's passionate about her work, knows what she's talking about, and is able to teach it to others. A great lady!

I haven't taken a course by her yet, but when one comes up, I will. She knows me by name, and we've only talked a couple of times. Her office is always open, and she drops everything just to talk you through a problem. She is great! Makes University feel like someone actually cares about the individual for who they are.
