Reviews of professor Jeff Hellmer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This class was so fun and easy, but granted I have a music background so Cerego was a piece of cake for me. Attendance is mandatory since he has instapoll questions, but it's an enjoyable class anyway. Jazz concerts were kinda cool but also kinda a pain ngl. Just review slides before quizzes. Would take again, loved learning about jazz.

This class is very doable if you just complete the cerego. I could have gotten an A if I had understood the instructions more. If you do Cerego like they tell you it is extremely easy to make an A in. The final is very easy and is basically just information you learned on cerego. The papers are graded very easily and took me 30 minutes to complete.

Look, Cerego is kinda annoying, but this class ain't that bad. You can do it from your bed. If you want an easy VAPA, this works, but it's probably not the easiest. Quizzes are lowkey hard.

Great class! Highly recommend Hellmer for your VAPA. Exactly what a required fine arts class should be. Easy, learned a lot, and helpful. Cerego is a great tool and much better than exams. Quizzes weekly, a final, and some live performances. All around would take it again!

It is hilarious how people are complaining bitterly about Cerego. It, only two jazz concerts, easy-as-pie quizzes, and easier writing assignments are the only work in this class. Prof knows many people are taking this to fulfill a requirement. If you don't like taking an easy fun class with a minimum amount of work, don't take this professor.

Definitely take this for your VAPA or if you need a blow off class. I barely paid attention all semester. You just have to answer polls during online class to be counted for attendance. Quiz answers on quizlet. You do have to go to 2 concerts but it's not bad. Final wasn't bad if you just study a few hours.

Prof. Hellmer was a quirky and fun professor! His Jazz Appreciation class is an easy VAPA to take, highly recommend. No tests, just Cerego sets (like quizlet) and a final which is fairly easy, just study the old quizzes. Quizzes are fairly easy if you pay attention to the lecture. Overall, Great class and professor!

As a longtime lover of jazz music, I really enjoyed taking this class with Hellmer and Sailors. Hellmer is very knowledgeable and a great lecturer. The class is easy, interesting, and filled with great music. I highly recommend taking Hellmer's class for your VAPA credit

Would you like your random VAPA to take up your time with stupid programs like Cerego and Friday night Jazz concerts that go way over their time limit? If so this class is for you. Yeah it's online, but trust me when I say Cerego is the most annoying software I have ever dealt with. Just do yourself a favor and avoid this class.
