Comment:

Very passionate about what he speaks but his class felt so long. All he did was talk and play music. The class was an easy A!!! so worth dealing with the 2 hours of him lecturing. Didn't pay attention all I did was record his lectures wait for him to post a study guide( all on test). His test are based on the lectures so take notes or record!

Comment:

Don't take if you actually care about your education. I took the 3 hour class and he often would let us out 2 hours early. No syllabus given but it doesn't matter because you can pass the class by failing all the exams. The lectures are excruitiatingly boring and he has no visual aid which doesn't help. He doesn't bring up modern hip hop at all.

All you need to do in this class is take his two midterms and finals and you pass this class. The lowest grade you can get in this class is a C.

Comment:

He's such a nice man and deserves more attention. He gets upset when students don't participate and gives extra credit if you do. There was a midterm and a final along with a final project that he grades easily. Focus on the book questions at the end of the chapters and you'll pass the exams with an A or B.

Comment:

Low stress, chill class. His only priority is to make you like jazz. This means he doesn't fail anyone, as long as they do all assignments. How to get an A: bring a laptop and take good notes, focus HEAVILY on the Jazz Anecdotes book, and pay attention in class. WARNING: show respect for jazz or suffer his wrath

Comment:

Took his class during the Winter. Like everyone else stated, you're only graded by 4 items: Book Report, Live Performance Review, Midterm, and Final (will leave the class with a C) The only book you'll need is the Jazz Anecdotes.

Comment:

Professor Garret is caring and wants to ensure everyone passes. He curves the tests and is not harsh on grading the final project. Aside from the lectures being heavy, he let's class out early. I do recommend reading the book, it really helped out this semester, it has sample questions of the final and midterm at the end of each chapter.

Comment:

The only real reason why this class is popular is because you can skip all lectures, bomb all the tests, and still pass the class. Avoid if you care about getting a high GPA. The class title is misleading. You don't talk about recent, modern hip-hop or rap music, and the material is dull IMO. He does get grumpy if you show up to class late.

Comment:

Professor Garrett is a cool guy. He is very very knowledgeable about music. We always get out of class early but he does lecture nonstop while we are in class. He takes it very personally if you show up to class late or if you leave early. He will say that you don't need the book but he lectures out of it and gets upset if you haven't read.

You will pass this class. I had this class on a Friday 8am-10:45am and he always lets us out either at 10 or before 10. The lectures can be very dull.

Comment:

Glen 's class is absolutely hilarious. You don't even have to show up to lectures to pass! All you have to do is take the tests and even if you get every single question wrong on both you get a C- just for showing up! If you are interested in music though, come to class. He can be very slow and monotone but he knows a crap ton about music. Cool guy

What a fantastic class! I love Rock and Roll but Mr. Garrett just literally blew my mind with how much info he knows about Rock and Roll and he has so many interesting stories. The class was 3 hours long, which is a drag, however I high recommend this class if you love Rock and Rock history AND an easy A!!!!

HE IS THE BEST! YOU WONT FAIL HIS CLASS if you will take his midterm,final and final paper. I got on my final paper C, i did not get the book and i passed his class with B. His tests are multiple choices and i just guess on everything. The lowest grade you will get in his class is C- , even if you will fail his tests. I LOVE HIM!

Easy A, just three assignments throughout the whole class that require studying time if you want to get a good grade on them. You can not fail this class the lowest he'll give you is a C- if you were horrible.

You don't need a textbook at all. It's seriously so hard to get a bad grade in this class. Just show up, or even get someone to take notes for you on the lectures. There are 3 major tests. He curves the test so just study the day of and you should be good.

Glen is the homie, I've taken his upper and lower division classes and it's ridiculously easy to pass. Lectures can be kind of a drag but the dude is super into jazz and is a great saxophonist (saw him in hermosa once!) Honestly you learn a lot of cool stuff about music too. Take MC tests and he grades on a MASSIVE curve. Def recommended!
