Jazz History. Fun class, very knowledgeable guy. No textbook. Take good notes. Tests are a giant game of "name that tune." Class is a refreshing break in my schedule. I actually don't mind going on a Friday afternoon.

Comment:
If you're in an ensemble with him, you need to practice! Also, I have him for jazz improv, and he gets very upset if you show up unprepared. He's very forgiving, and there is nobody more interested in making sure their students learn. Even though he runs ensembles, the student's experience comes first, before he badgers you for playing things right

Probably one of the easiest/most fun professors I've had at KU so far. We didn't use a book, just took notes in class. Participate in class, he likes that. I wasn't really into music before I took the class, but it was really interesting and I learned a lot in that class. I would definitely recommend taking him.

Dr. Kjos is the best. He's so friendly and funny and literally gives you the answers to tests on review days. You have to try really hard to get anything less than an A in this course.

incredibly easy he gives you the tests before you take them and drops the lowest one. all about memorization. in class you barely talk about music but most the time its pretty interesting.

He makes it possible that even if you are not musicaly inclined you still have a chance to get an A in this class.Very fair prof. with resonable objectives.Definitely take him for an intro to music literature.Best pick among all general ed classes

I think he's awesome, seriously. He gets a little sidetracked sometimes, but his class is an easy A. You'd have to try really hard to do badly.

Great class! Go to class everyday and take decent notes and you'll have no problem getting an A. Interesting and keeps your attention the whole time! I wasn't interested in Music at all but he made the class worthwhile! :)

Probably my favorite teacher I've ever had. Changed my idea of music and made me actually enjoy it. Makes the class enjoyable by not talking about music the whole time and will change topics yet when he does talk about the actual topics, makes it enjoyable. Definetly take him.

Not enjoyable. He has his favorites, and if you aren't one of them, you don't get much positive attention. KU has a lot of other great music professors who care a lot more than he does.

He's really easy, but you won't learn much about music. He lectures on everything EXCEPT for music and hardly every PLAYS music. Won't get much from this class except for an easy A. Wish I got something more for my time and money...

ok, i never had an easier class. He gives all the questions and answers to the class before the test..and i had no idea about back or motzart or music before takin this class..and trust me, you would have to be a real idiot not to get 100 percent..i took the final in 3 minuts and got a 109 percent.
