Professor Nissen makes you want to go to class! I was dreading finding a class to fill my humanities requirement, but this class was amazing. There are 4 exams, and they are not blow off. You have to study! He is hilarious, passionate, and extremely knowledgeable of the topic. Not an easy A, but worth taking in my opinion!

He's the best lecturer. Intellectual and passionate about the work. Keeps the class light with jokes. However, I found the exams very confusing. Get ready to read.

Jim is great. He's funny and wants to make sure that you learn something more than just come to class. The test material is almost directly from the slides and he puts those online a couple days before the test. I skipped maybe 4 times and im getting an A. I never bought the textbook. Take this guy!

Funny guy and he makes the lectures interesting but he grades too hard on tests and papers. Showed up to class every day and did all my work and readings and still ended up with a B somehow. Is sometimes rude during class. Wouldn't recommend if you care for your GPA.

He's a funny guy! I always enjoyed his lectures. Don't miss any lectures though because he tests on information that isn't in the book. I took the class expecting it to be a blow-off, easy A. It's not. There's a lot of information to remember. He'll say stuff in lecture one time and it'll be on the test. Write down EVERYTHING. I got a B. Loved him!

Nissen is seriously amazing. I was unable to study due to a whole string if bizarre circumstances, so he let me take the test late, without penalty. He is smart, engaging, funny, and very interesting. Easily one of the best at UM-D.

Before I took this course, I was extremely nervous from the different performances we had to present. Dr. Nissen made all of that go away. He made me feel comfortable and at ease. I had fun and learned so much from him. He is a very funny and kind hearted professor. I would always look forward to coming to class. I Highly recommend him!!

This was an excellent class. Nissen is very clear in lecture and with course requirements. Just show up to class and take notes, maybe do some of the reading and you'll be absolutely fine. He's very personable and funny, too.

He is very funny, knows his music history very well. I felt he took this class to a level most of the students in there did not really care about but that is ok.

Dr. Nissen is the model professor; he is extremely knowledgeable and funny. In addition to being a composer and musician, he is an actor and is hilarious! I was laughing the whole time every class.

Good prof, but he keeps stopping his lectures to tell some fat chick to turn off her cell phone.
