Reviews of professor Christina Bartholomew

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I understand music might not be strong suit for everyone but she takes the time for you to understand the basics first so you should have no problem later. She's enthusiastic about what she does so that made the class wayyy more enjoyable. You HAVE to do the writing assignments or you won't pass!

Don't understand the negative reviews? Don't have to be a music theory expert prior, you'll learn a basic level of it over the semester. Courseload (weekly quizzes and online listening hw) was fair imo. Test questions were basically taken from the optional backboard quizzes. Writing the music reports, it's best to go with a friend to the concert!

Professor Bartholomew is amazing! She is extremely enthusiastic during lecture and her outline aand PowerPoints set you up for success on the test. If you do your inquizative homework and pay attention to the lecture you will do great on the test. I didn't know anything about music before the semester and I have a better appreciation for music.

This class is difficult for a 200 level class. She gives pop quizzes every week. You have 2 concert reports. The tests consists of mc questions and a listening portion. I would never take her again. She runs through the ppt quickly. We go over 3 or 4 chapters a day.

2 concert reports to pass they are super easy. She puts everything to weeks and they are do on Mondays at 11am. She is not a tough grader but she does give you great feedback on assignments and there is a chance to get extra credit at the end.

I thought music was going to be an interesting and easy class to take. In my freshman year I took this class and by the first week I hated it. She only reads off he PowerPoint, assigns us a bunch of homework with is called Inquizitve and we have to write two papers to write the class. I do not recommend taking this professor for music.

Didn't expect much from this class but I was pleasantly surprised. Bartholomew has a regal demeanor that I really admired. Learned key concepts and now I honestly hear music differently! MUST do concert reports to pass class. I feel she was fair with grading the reports. I did better on the second report thanks to her feedback from first.

Her teaching was just fine, but she is severely passive aggressive and rude. She has an "I am the law" personality and will remind you of that every class. She is not very helpful, but her class is easy enough. If you get stuck with her, don't worry you will do fine. However, I would never recommend choosing her class if given a choice.
