Doc is an example to the music dept. He really cares for the students, and their personal development. He pushes hard, and you get the benefit of accomplishing more than you thought you were capable of.

This guy should retire. What should have been the best class in college was one of the worst. I couldn't stay awake. Lame prof uses the same material for the past 20 years

Professor Harding was a good teacher. I enjoyed taking his class as an elective. His projects weren't hard at all. Just go to class and study for his test and you'll do fine...can't miss class!!!!

good teacher and a great mentor. The jazz band isn't any better than it is in SPITE of him, not because of him. If the music department would stop making Wind Ensemble the most important group and go back to having jazz as a major ensemble, it would hel

Comment:

Dr. Harding is unnecessarily difficult, not only in his teaching style, but in demeanor also. The tests were EXTREMELY diificult. A lot of trickery and deception in testing, talks too fast . In office visits, he is very vague in answering questions.

Had both Hist of Rock and Evol. of Jazz. Rock is ok and an easy A if you go to class and study for tests. Jazz is crazy hard,Do NOT take this class! The tests do not match up with the material gone over in class. DON'T TAKE JAZZ! Calc & chem were easier

The jazz band is hardly the calibre of a good university jazz band. Maybe the new director next year will get the job done better

Comment:

Geez, does it get any easier. He is pretty long winded, but gives good background on rock and has interesting background. Tests are easy and if you can't make an A in the History of Rock Music, you shouldn't be in college.
