Reviews of professor Erik Unsworth

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He does a good job at teaching you the history of Jazz, but it's a lot of info too. There are four papers, two requires you to visit a Jazz concert and the other two are research papers. There are many exams worth a small amount each that require you to listen to songs he assigns and recognize name, artist, form, and style. Extra credit helps.

Professor makes you write 4 papers throughout the semester. It felt like I was taking a writing class instead of jazz history. Gives in class quizzes that are open notes, but rushes thru the powerpoints. Get ready to memorize a lot of names of people who were all "the most influential", "the greatest".
