I enjoyed his technique of teaching. Great instructor! the best I ever had.
What I liked most about the course was the freedom to express my own opinion and thoughts without the fear of debasement.
I liked the exposure to so much new music and new ideas. Dr. Guthrie was always helpful in explaining ideas.
I have learned the most in this semester than I have in my entire college career. My relationship with Dr. Guthrie has not only helped theory, but has opened my mind to so many ideas. My perception has totally been enlightened. Super class!
The class was at 8:00 A.M., but I wanted this instructor. I enjoy being in his classes. He is an excellent teacher and has become a good friend.
He was very to-the-point, made his requirements very clear and followed through with his policies. He was very consistent.
I felt very well prepared for tests. They seemed easy after more difficult materials presented in class.
Even though this class is extremely hard for me - it has been very enjoyable and I have learned. Dr. Guthrie is a great professor.
