Reviews of professor Abby Held

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I had to spend a majority of my time outside of class working for my grade. There were many times where the criteria for an assignment was changed under 12 hours before the assignment was due, and she would tell 1 student to tell the rest; she wouldn't even tell us herself. She cared more about shoving her time in Vienna at us instead of teaching.

Dr. Held is pretty nice. She knows her worth and holds herself to a high standard. Was pretty good at teaching Theory 1, but there were many things that didnt make sense to me even after I asked questions. Gave out homework from the book every week. She did treat the class like we were elementary school kids. Pretty okay teacher overall.

Hard Grader, very specific, does not accept late work - even if you have a valid excuse, quizzes over every chapter - majority of grade, a group project at the end of the semester and requires you attend 2 concerts at the SFA school of music and write a paper. The other music professors only require 1. There are listenings due every Monday.
