Reviews of professor Eric Jones

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Jones really cares about his students and uses his time wisely during lectures, by making it both interesting and a great learning experience. There are 2 concert reviews essays, 3 exams and a cumulative final. The exams and final are easy as long as you review the PowerPoints, playlists, and the vocab review sheet (that he makes).

This class was great! Assignments and expectations were clear. As for the exams, the content comes from the powerpoints and the listening excerpts are covered and explained in class, so just show up and pay attention. Dr. Jones is a nice guy, and is willing to talk about content and questions before/after class.

This class was online due to COVID and all the exams were open note. Weekly assignments were easy as well. A lot of assignments got canceled though due to the winter storm(the group project and performance critiques), so I was a little unsure of what assignments we had. There was a bit of disorganization in the course, but overall a solid choice.

Easy, chill prof who cares about his students' success. He had an attendance policy but didn't actually take off points at the end. Tests are easy, just memorize the slides. Don't be afraid to take it if you don't have musical ability, you honestly don't need any background. Jones makes it fun and easy. Did not use textbook whatsoever.

Overall a nice prof. Assignments were easy and all the exams were basically open note. Textbook was helpful, but people still passed without the textbook. Only downside was that the class was disorganized. Assignments wouldn't be posted, and he was late to respond to emails. That aside, would recommend this class to anyone that needs an art credit.

It's evident that he cares about his students and the subject matter. He puts a lot of effort into his lectures, and it shows. Often times we listen to a lot of listening examples, which is really fun. There is virtually no homework and the tests are SUPER easy. Do the review and study that the morning of the test and you'll get an A, no problem!
