Reviews of professor Abby Held

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had to take her for oboe. Prepare yourself for a pretentious, rude, stuck-up, professor.

I wouldn't say Dr. Held is a bad professor, but the worst I had this semester. She expects a lot from students, but is extremely unspecific about her criteria, resulting in overly harsh grading. Twice this semester she sent out unexpected assignment changes the night before it was due. She is also a little too politically correct, which is annoying

(pandemic - on zoom). She can't handle when students have other things going on in their own home around them, which is out of their control. She unprofessionally calls it out and blames students for the distraction instead of being empathetic & understanding. She also always holds you after time and gets mad if you leave bc you have another class

Took this class for a fine art credit, huge mistake. Unless you have an in depth musical background this class will be hard. I did more work for this than my other classes for my major. Take appreciation of theatre or rock instead.
