Reviews of professor Michael Gayle

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Great teacher and wonderful class. Easy A very considerate professor and friendly. Make you show up to every class though. Make sure you have a note for an absence 2 unexcused will result in a deduction of grade.

Amazing professor. Watched great movies and the papers, group projects, quizzes were easy and fun to do. Its a bit hard if you know nothing about music but after a bit you will be able to pick up what's going on.

Easy and fun class. Professor Gayle really cares about the class and he teaches you what you need to succeed. The course is two review papers, a group midterm and final. Theres also homeworks but its just watching movies with notes. If you have the opportunity to take his class dont hesitate because I doubt youll find a better music professor.

As a person who is not a music major this class was a bit hard to understand in the beginning but then I got the hand of it. So many movies to watch and "Spot" basically annotate every second of the music in the movie. Sounds chill but its so much work. You have to work for the A. Overall not bad but you gotta put In the work.

This class is just watching movies and taking notes on important themes of the movies. Much of the work for this class is group work, which was not too bad. You are only graded on a quiz, midterm, final, movie reviews, and attendance, which is an absolute must if you want to get a high grade. He kept the class engaged and had a fun personality.

Do whatever you can to take this man. He is very chill and clearly cares about what he is teaching. He plays the piano for the class. You will have to spot movies, which is the most difficult thing in his class only because it is time-consuming. Other than that it's one very easy exam and two group projects.

Prof. Gayle is nice but kind of throws assignments at us out of nowhere. In the beginning he said this class would be an easy a but after the drop period ended he got strict on attendance and gave us movie reviews and spotting assignments more often. He's extremely nice and pretty chill but he seemed to be a bit misleading at first.

Professor Gayle is absolutely awesome. You can tell he really cares about the course material and does his best to make everyone feel involved and capable. As long as you keep up with the viewing assignments and show up, youll do fine. He makes class tons of fun and really gets into the movies he shows. Cant the class recommend high enough.

He is amazing. Take him if you can! Easy A and the class is exciting. I learned a lot just by watching movies. Also, he will even play his songs for you in class! Super fun!
