Comment:

If you don't like his sense of humor, it's a torture. He talks loud and pretends to know the subject well and disagrees with people who hold different opinions regardless. He would be a wonderful teacher if he stayed in his expertise area: jazz studies.

Comment:

Form and Analysis was frightening with him, and arranging wasn't that great either. In fact, he basically told us he didn't know what he was doing. Yet... he is teaching at a college? GO FIGURE! They need to let him go. He needs to find more ways of expressing one idea instead of reading the book aloud in class and demanding understanding!

We don't call him "uncle mikey" but I can definately understand why some people do. It does feel like having a class with your favorite uncle explaining it all to you.

I've never smiled so much when being called a camper! Uncle Mikey is such a blast. Although the work is hard, it's fun to walk into class, even without having your homework done!
