TAKE IT WITH FRIENDS. Can take it for Comm B if needed. Content is interesting, but Prof. Potter can move a little slowly.

Easy A if you go to class and discussions because she makes it mandatory to attend. She canceled out exams for this semester which really saved me because the biggest problem would be that her lectures are all over the place, doesn't really seemed organized. But all the information is there still.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1454531","quality_rating":3.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:04:18.727759+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM2MDM1MTQz","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1454531","instructor_name":"Susan Cook","course_label":"MUSIC319","course_id":"MUSIC 319","course_uid":"course_ec64591a50d4c42fdc257d68","review_date":"2022-04-07 02:54:58 +0000 UTC","comment":"In all honesty, one of the worst professors I have ever had. Her grading methods are absolutely awful and treats the class as an advanced English class for assignments regarding grammar. She gives very little time for people to think of a response when she calls on you. If you do not respond quickly enough she will move on and mark you as absent.

However, her notes on the board are incredibly disorganized & she wings lectures. Also this class causes anxiety as she requires name tents and carries notecards with your image on them- calls on individuals randomly and expects you to know specific info from  long readings.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1454531","quality_rating":3.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:04:18.727759+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI2NTMxMjk4","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1454531","instructor_name":"Susan Cook","course_label":"MUSIC319","course_id":"MUSIC 319","course_uid":"course_ec64591a50d4c42fdc257d68","review_date":"2016-05-10 19:16:00 +0000 UTC","comment":"Terrible. Exams are in a 50 minute time slot, and the questions require you to write two essays plus short answer. There is no way you can finish in that amount of time. And when you think you did well on an exam, think again.

His knowledge is unparalleled, his teaching style is unmatched, and his genuine teaching style is unlike any other you will experience.

Highly recommend taking his classes.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2449902","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0}]
