Comment:

He is a nice guy and all, but the class was not very structured. It jumped around alot and the tests were based off of random things. Still it was probably the best FYF available. He did not grade harshly which was nice and he also let us retake a test everyone did poorly on

Comment:

Jimbo is a great guy and a great teacher. This class is kind of difficult and requires you to memorize many things, but this is college and compared to other classes this was farely easy. Jimbo was probably one of the most helpful teachers I ever had, and would do anything for the students. Highly Recommended!

This class is ridiculously easy. Its not hard at all...if you think this is hard, take a science course like organic chemistry and then tell me its hard. Harrington knows is stuff and wants you to do well...just study a little and you'll be fine.

VVERY difficult class. As long as you like music and can memorize 200 listening pieces you're set. He makes class interesting, but is a ttoougghh grader. Making a 4 is easy if you can memorize things. Don't slack off... he always has a way of finding out... creepy

Even though I had no interest whatsoever in music, I took his class for Freshmen Foundations. I was really impressed by how into the subject he was, and he made class fun. He's a really nice guy and great to talk to outside of class.

Excellent teacher! He really enjoys teaching this subject, and has a great sense of humor. Also very concerned about students. Still haven't seen his harpsichord, but he has promised to show it to us. Take this class!

Jim is a very funny guy and makes music appreciation fun, easy grader. Going to his house for class is not a creepy as it sounds - he has a classical keyboard there that he plays.
