Reviews of professor Jeryl Johnston

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I do not recommend this class especially if you're doing as an elective. She gives way too much work and is a tough grader with no leeway. You have to be in class before the actual time, if your literally a minute late or you miss your name when she called you, you get half credit. It's too much for the type of class it is

Teacher who takes her course way too seriously. Gives a ridiculous amount of work for a three credit class and expects everyone to be in love with music as if they want to study it for the rest of their lives. She has no consideration for her students unless you kiss up to her and will go out of her way to be mean if she can.

She's cool and all but takes her class way too seriously, like it's really not that deep. She gives a lot of homework, which seem unnecessary at times, and she kinda expects you to have some knowledge about music.

she's so nice it's such an easy intro course even though I literally had no idea what she was teaching all the work was easy. She gives multiple attempts for the homework, her midterm is a little difficult but doable, final is easy too since she's an easy grader. Superrr easy A (j do the work) if you need to take it for pathways like me

The class is very boring but she tries her best to encourage class participation. The homework is fairly simple and easy. There are 1-2 listening quizzes, a concert report, and a final paper(700-1000wrds). Not a class I would take again but if you need it for Pathways it's not a bad choice. Familiarity with music beforehand is definitely helpful!

She is a great teacher and her assynchrous class is amazing.

Once she realized I had a music background she started treating me differently and grading me harder than everyone else. I have been playing piano my whole life and yet got a B in this class...completely unfair.

This was the first class that i ever took and immediately decided to swap, shes really hardcore about music almost everyone in the entire class had previously played an instrument. I truly felt lost had no idea what i was doing, the first H.W took me at least 5 hours I knew i had to swap, if music is not your major then don't take.

Take her only if it is an online class. She does not have any live lecture which I like since I had not interest in music and I took it because it was a pathway course. She hw that are based of readings that you can skim through. She gives multiple attempts on hw. She gives a midterm that is hard but doable and short. There is also a final. Easy A

Professor J is a very nice person and replies to emails extremly quick. The work is not extremely hard but there is a very large work load for a music class.
