Reviews of professor William Cratty

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I took the World Music class online. It's nice because so little is expected of us. I feel like I get to enjoy and read about music without really having to go above and beyond. I'm a CS major and I needed this class for gen ed. Only was the book rental is expensive. Luckily I was able to buy it using covid vaccine incentive money.

Dr. Cratty is a highly personable, eccentric and compassionate musical prodigy. He writes the music textbooks, and is himself the encyclopedia of music. Whats most amazing is the level of concern he shows for each students advancement. If you send him a question Sunday morning at 7am, he responds by 8am. No one works harder then he does.

Dr Cratty gives the lecture from different perspective to take the different POV of the different performers, composers, music ed majors, etc. He is very passionate of what he does, and it does show during class. He is very understanding, and the only think he really cares about is music and your progress in your musical education. great teacher.

Professor Cratty, is a kind teacher who writes detailed instructions for all assignments. This gave me a peace of mind and confidence when submitting my work. His lectures are also well structured, and he is always open to questions. He will stay after class to clarify any concept for as long as you need. He has been a wonderful professor!

Dr. Cratty is a great professor. We were all at different levels and he is very patient with students of all levels. He goes over new topics making sure everyone understands. I have certainly learnt a lot in his class and I was never scared to ask if I didn't understand something.

Professor Cratty is honestly one of the worst teachers I have ever had. He is disorganized, gets off topic too much and is unclear about what the assignment is or when it is due.

Great professor!  Really good music selection as part of the modules.  Allows more than one attempt for tests/exam.  Grades assignments timely.

Professor Cratty is a decent professor. He was not very involved in the class, but the material was easy enough that you didn't need his help. You can take quizzes three times and I found it impossible to not get an A in written assignments, so passing the class is no problem. Class structure is all over the place, so beware.
