Reviews of professor Gabrielle Chou

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Such a sweet professor, and it very passionate about music. Her lectures can get boring but they are easy to comprehend. There are only 3 homework and a final essay where you write about a concert you went to. She is always willing to help and replies to emails fast.

Professor Chou has an eccentric personality for teaching despite having a dead class since most people are only there for the req. The content and quizzes are incredibly forgiving and easy to understand. Syllabus explains all you need to know and yes there are 2 concerts you must attend - you can attend many free, though after C19, she replaced it.

Professor Chou is super into what she does which ultimately reflects in her class, lectures are long, yes, but when you have a teacher as passionate as she is it's hard to call the class boring. She accepts drafts of your work and always gives you feedback so there's no reason you shouldn't get an A in this class. Attendance is 100% mandatory.

Professor Chou is extremely knowledgable about what she teaches and it is clear that she is passionate as well. Although the lectures were long, she makes sure to keep them interesting, and understands that not everybody in the class has prior knowledge of the course. There was 3 check ins, and a classical concert paper on your choosing.

Professor Chou is so sweet! You can really tell that she is very passionate when it comes to music. She lectures through Powerpoint pretty heavily but she talks through them. Although it does get a bit boring at times, she is very understanding. No tests, just 3 homeworks and a final paper which you have to attend a concert for.

I took her in the Fall semester of 2021. Three classes were in person. There was no final exam, just a final paper. The entire class consists of assignments based on her lectures and PowerPoint. I would recommend doing the assignments during her class because she gives you all of the answers during the class. There is no reason to procrastinate.

Professor Chou makes an effort to keep the class engaging. There were three check-ins, one concert paper and attendance counts as grade. I took her over the Winter. She was the only one who made me pay attention in class since I never do!!! I recommend it, she's interesting!!!
