Leslie Hall

Leslie is a kind hearted woman. She's always apologizing about having her tests scheduled for weeks we had a lot of work in other classes. She would also ask us if the tests were fair or not. They are fair, just make sure you know ALL of the music examples and everything else she tells you to know. A little bit picky in her marking but a kind prof.

Passionate and eloquent. She is indeed a tough marker, but this course is an upper liberal, and thus has a lower threshold for spelling and grammar mistakes. As for the tests, all pertinent texts for study are outlined in the syllabus. They are also tough, and require very precise choice of words when describing a musical term for example.

Marking scheme is unspecific, and unusually tough

Professor Hall is passionate prof. The course itself is diverse, so you are sure to enjoy it! She doesn't post anything on blackboard so class attendance is mandatory. Her marking scheme is very hard to understand, as you get marks for nothing and lose marks for nothing. If you have a keen interest in music around the world, you will do fine!

Leslie Hall unfortunately fails to provide students with a comfortable learning environment. She is a self-proclaimed hard marker in order to 'combat grade inflation'. Instruction is dodgy and generally unclear, when questions arise, they are usually swept under the rug or the student questioning is made to feel (for a lack of better words) stupid

Dr. Hall is extremely passionate about music. However, she's very impersonal and is very difficult to talk to about any class work. She doesn't use blackboard therefore attendance is required. Her midterms are somewhat challenging plus she's very picky with her answers, especially when it comes to the essay. Overall, she's not wonderful

Pretty interesting course. But weird marking. I got 80% on a test I never studied for and 70% on the final tests which I put hours of effort into. Weird marker and does not give credit or gives false credit where it is due

attendance to every class is mandatory. doesn't post any notes on blackboard. a lot of content to know for exams "I dont teach bird courses"

Really great course. Fairly light and straightforward assesments no "make work" assignments. If you'd like a high mark for the effort you need to put in take this course!

She is very passionate about teaching music. She does require attendance to class as the tests reflect material done in class. I think that's great since it is a music class so learning and listening in class is important. Overall she is a great teacher and will help you with tests and the essay if you ask for her assistance.
