Reviews of professor John Schmergel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is a really inspirational professor and taught me so much about music and different activities I can do with students. He taught us how to play the ukulele and even made a whole youtube channel just teach us. His youtube channel is John Schmergel and he has videos. You can watch it to get an idea of how he teaches.

Great professor! Just participate and show you are interested and you will pass. There are assignments given throughout the semester but they are not hard and he helps you with every assignment.

He wants detailed lessons plans but at the end he gives a good grade.

Do yourself a favor and do not take his class for music 210. His lectures are a drag and he will give you work that he does not explain in class and you have to figure it out on your own. Also, grades harshly and expects you to play the ukelele by watching his videos. A music class that is barely related to a edu major should not be this intense.

Even though this class is music for teachers he teaches us like we are majoring in music and about to be musicians. It makes the class so frustrating to get by because as a lecture class its more of an online class. He post assignments on blackboard he does not explain clearly so youre left tryna google all the information.

You have to buy a ukelele, which he makes you bring and then you dont even use it most of the time. Treats the class like a music class barely anything to do about teaching. More about making music. So uninteresting when you are not a musician and just want to pass. He also sometimes forget we are in college treats like 4 th graders.

This class is so tough, he gives so many papers and lectures is very heavy and makes you buy the ukelele which is not used in every class at all,,,every week literally their is 3 assignments I work my bud off to get an A. Don't take him you will regret.

not recommending this professor to anyone. hes too hard and gives too much hw. there are lesson plans for hw and for final you need to present and actually do the lesson plan. plus you need to buy ukelele which is waste of $

I loved this class! He was so laid back and made the class fun, he didn't assign much homework and when he did it was so simple. If you take this class you won't regret it.

The most annoying class ever, he gives wierd lectures that are so boring and difficult, the ukulele is a burden that you have to bring with you to each class which is barely used in class and he expects you to know how to play it
