Reviews of professor Michael Gayle

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
All around great professor, made the assignments very straightforward, clear and easy. The class was really just watching movies and spotting the music on them. We had to do 2 1-page film reviews on our own, and 2 group presentation film reviews for midterm and final. Overrall very understanding professor, just show up to class, but you'll want to!

Loved this class. Professor Gayle is a very talented musician and played music for us in class everyday. If you are not a musician but need a music credit take this course because you barely need any musical knowledge. Easy assignments and group projects. I would recommend to everyone

Such an amazing class-literally watched movies and talked about the music. It was helpful to know a little bit about music, but he was super helpful even if you didn't. Group projects for midterm and final but easy enough. Easy A. One of the most caring professors I've ever met

Prof Gayle is nice, but it's a lot of work for a music class. Midterm and final group projects. Doesn't respond to emails ever. Gives way too much homework and doesn't grade until finals week. Very nice and funny guy, but disorganized and confusing.

He's excellent. Definitely take this class! It's straightforward and engaging, offering insights just from watching films. He adds to the fun by playing music during class. The workload is light, with group assessments analyzing music. Prof. Gayle is both humorous and skilled, sharing personal talents in class. It's a definite must for everyone.

One of the best professors available at SJU. He is amazing. Cares for his students. The whole class is graded on group projects. No exams. You watch movies and write papers on them. 2 papers total. Very easy. A little effort and B. Full effort for easy class and a A.
