Reviews of professor John Adler

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Not even close to being considered a good professor. They are always passive-aggressive, making communication challenging and almost impossible to have mature, adult conversations with them. After taking the class, I also found out they were on administrative leave for Title IX violations. I do not recommend taking this course.

MUS 140 is pretty boring. There is an easy online quiz due at the beginning of each class and a couple boring projects. I suggest saving all the quiz questions and answers on a word doc to use for a study guide. In class, you don't need to listen to the music. Just write down what he says about each piece. It's an easy A, but you don't learn much.

Dr. Adler was put on administrative leave in 2017 for a reason. I would not recommend him to anyone who is serious about playing the trumpet. Title IX violations should be fireable offenses.
