    MUS5A . 6 Years Ago

    Janet is so nice and a great professor. As homework you ask questions and she answers them in class. The in-class worksheets are fun because they include popular music examples and you work with a classmate on them. She can also sing really well.

    MUS160A . 3 Years Ago

    She's really nice and for the most part she hands out a lot of worksheets and u work on them alongside her. Majority of class is her reading off or guiding thru the papers. If u are clearly sick extensions are freely given. As long as you can defend your analysis well, it's not worrying if u r unsure of an answer. Can always talk or mail her.
