Reviews of professor Allison Fairbairn

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
VERY easy class. Took it over the summer and only logged in to do weekly quizzes and blog posts. I am NOT musically inclined and this course was a breeze. Do not hesitate to take this as an elective. Easy 85++

Allison is wonderful. She has a great sense of humour. The weekly readings and quizzes are engaging and full of interesting content. There are a couple assignments - they are time consuming so do not leave until the last minute. Super easy elective though!

Allison made what could have been a very difficult semester manageable. The class was incredibly easy, and it came as a result of Allison wanting everyone to succeed. She was very lenient with dates and understood that things can happen that are out of our control, and helped accommodate us. Would highly recommend.

I don't have much to say as MUS 101 had no lecture time with Allison, but I thoroughly enjoyed the class and was able to succeed quite easily. MUS 101 is a great grade booster and I would HIGHLY recommend the course as an elective.

Alison's compassion for her students is evident, but the final project guidelines (spanning 3-4 pages of rules and suggestions, were really confusing. Overall, the class is well-organized and Alison provides great feedback, but grading is slow. Unfortunately, final project grades weren't given before the exam, making it hard to gauge performance.

Dr. Fairbairn added humour and personality to the course, but lacked organization. The two major paper/blog assignments took weeks/a month to return and topics were posted only two weeks before their deadlines. Grading criteria is vague. Course consists of textbook readings only. It is an easy class but it has lots of reading.

Allison has been a favourite prof of mine so far. She is really chill, hilarious and caring. She reminds you to take breaks at different times, and appreciate it if you participate in the discussions or including music memes in your writing assignments. 10/10, hope to take her again!

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS AS AN ELECTIVE, on the same level of difficulty as my mandatory class. Prof is pretty good but damn after module 1 things got hard real fast

Very kind prof! The mark breakdown is great with weekly quizzes, so it helps you stay on top of things. One big assignment that was graded very fairly. The final had some difficult short answer questions, but the mc section was good. She is a caring and understanding prof, would recommend her to anyone! Be sure to stay on top of all the modules.
