Reviews of professor Daniela Ahlbin

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took the class as part of my learning community and I wish I had chosen another schedule instead. The homework was ok, but the exams were hard to review for. I wouldn't recommend this class unless you are good at memorizing terms and names of composers. *The textbook isn't necessary for the class.

Nice professor. Very good at explaining concepts and helping those that have no music background. Be prepared to participate and sing. Easy A since most of the grade comes from the homework, which is not hard. She did great for her first year teaching at hunter.

Do not take this class if you care about your GPA. I took this class as a requirement for Hunter and I honestly wished I took a different class. She acts like shes caring but shes not. The tests are so hard even if you study. There is no extra credit and literally in my class was on pins and needles the whole semester about their final grade.

boring lectures. She automatically assumes everyone knows what she's talking about because she has an extensive background in music. Doesn't explain concepts. her exams are impossible

There's a lot of words to remember in the course which could be difficult for non-music majors. Also has reading + homework every week. Also a group project

she had the audacity to tell everyone that she is disappointed in the class because only one person got an A. that should tell her something about her teaching

I found this class pretty difficult and thought I would get a much better grade than I did. There is A LOT to remember and countless terms to understand, which, as a non-music major, was very difficult for me memorize. As a new professor, she was good but should make exams a little easier, given that there is a heavy amount of things to remember.
