Reviews of professor Susan Neimoyer

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is so passionate and kind. I only wish she was better at preparing students for tests. I never knew exactly what I was supposed to study since her lesson objectives were never made clear. By having written objectives, that would help students a lot!

Her lectures are incredibly fast-paced, and taking notes is difficult unless you're a fast typer. The material covered in the book, lectures, and the review sheets for tests are all inconsistent. You are graded on weekly quizzes, a couple writing assignments, and the big tests. There is 16 weeks of material in just 13 weeks.

I love sister neimoyer so much and I love that she is so passionate about the composers but I had the hardest time in her class. Its all lectures and PowerPoints. I was just really hard for me to focus in. My advice is to just study with the listen text book because she pulls almost all of her info out of that and tests on it.

She is sweet and cares about teaching and is very knowledgeable about her subject. She is also very lenient with due dates, which is nice. But in terms of due dates, expectations for grading, she was confusing and did not post things on canvas in a very timely manner. She also uses Proctorio for tests, which is a good and a bad thing.

She is very passionate about music history and makes her lectures very interesting to listen to. She also allows the students to participate and doesnt make anybody feel stupid. Her tests are difficult, but she always gives you a review sheet with what to study/listen to about a week before. The class is hard but she teaches it well.

Sister Neimoyer made class very engaging, but she taught purely using PowerPoints and went through them FAST, so get ready to type your notes very quickly! She was hard to contact outside of class, but she always got back at some point. All exams were through procterio which wasn't fun, but as long as you do the reading/listening you'll be fine!

If you struggle with Neimoyers teaching style, too bad. Shes the only one who teaches this class & teaches a MusLit course. If youre a music major, youll have her twice. She doesnt allow time for discussions, she speeds through power point slides and reads them to the class. Test heavy, and didnt have assignments graded till end of semester.

I love the way she structures music literature! She is passionate about the subject and knows what she is talking about. She knows the course is hard and tries to make things straightforward. Gives good study guides before the tests.

Sister Neimoyer is an amazing person and has a passion for what she teaches. But she teaches purely from power points and goes through the material REALLY FAST! There is a lot of reading needed and there are questions on the exams that she will not go over in class. DO THE LISTENING! Constantly go over the slides and listen to the pieces often!
