That was one of the most interesting classes i have taken throughout my academic career! Professor Jackson gives most interesting lectures, he cares about students learning but not a hard grader. I would recommend everybody to take this classAFAM1104 2021-04-09 16:48:36 +0000 UTC
Mr. Jackson is awesome. He's incredibly friendly and nice- sometimes I just want to hug him after class. He's been a radio host for a long time and he's met some important people and it's REALLY cool to hear his stories. Very knowledgeable on the subject and makes sure you know the material. It's a cool subject anyway, and he's fun to be around.AAMUS2101 2011-03-31 00:38:05 +0000 UTC
ERIC JACKSON IS THE MAN. REALLY EASY CLASS. HE BASICALLY GOES OVER THE QUIZ THE DAY BEFORE YOU TAKE IT. TAKE DECENT NOTES AND PAY ATTENTION AND YOU'LL GET AN EASY A.AFAM001 2011-03-23 20:11:49 +0000 UTC
Eric Jackson is the man. He is famous in the radio station and music world, and is a connisaur of Jazz. As long as you go to class take good notes, you'll have no problem. The quizzes are like 10-20 simple questions. Take this class.AFAMMUSI 2010-10-28 16:34:10 +0000 UTC
Great class. The material is interesting and he makes it an easy class. Five quizzes that are made up 25 short answer responses and 1 paper. He posts all his lectures online and he goes over the exact quiz questions the class before. His class really opened my eyes to some different music that I never listen too and really enjoyed.AFAM1104 2015-12-18 16:43:55 +0000 UTC
Class was pretty simple. Attendance counts. Goes over majority of quiz questions beforehand but some will be from the reading. Can still score high B+ on quizzes without doing the reading. Tells a lot of stories. Minimal effort required on homework. Was an easy A and actually learned something about music in the black community.AFAM1104 2015-12-08 19:48:28 +0000 UTC
The professor makes the class pretty interesting and easy. He posts the lectures online and always goes over the quiz the class beforehand. It's a pretty easy A as long as you put a little work into the course. There are five quizzes, about five homework assignments and a final paper plus easy extra credit at the end. Would totally recommend!AFAM1104 2015-12-08 18:10:54 +0000 UTC
Professor Jackson is a very personable guy. There are 6 quizzes and a final paper that legit has 20 topics to choose from. In the class before the quiz, he goes over EVERY question on the quiz, word for word. It really isn;t necessary to take notes any other time; since my laptop is open the whole time I just work on hw from other classes. Take it!AFAM1104 2015-11-20 14:24:05 +0000 UTC
Anyone who is thinking of taking this class, think otherwise. There are only 6 quizzes and 1 final paper. This is not an easy A class. This class is extremely boring and you really need to pay attention to what he has to say in order to take notes. He does not give out PPTs, so unless you are interested in this class, do not take this class.AFAM1104 2013-03-28 12:07:09 +0000 UTC
Imagine a professor who really cares about his students,who is knowlegable about the subject, very helpful, easy-grader, always ready to help! That is Professor Jackson!AFAM1104 2012-02-23 19:32:10 +0000 UTC
