If you know absolutely nothing about Jazz, prepare to be belittled for it. I kid, but this man takes jazz incredibly seriously. What I mean by that is, if you have a stupid question, you'll get hit with “Do you not pay attention in class?” He needs to realize that many struggle reading music, and that it's okay. Also would like to add, he's snarky

140 total points but you are only graded out of 100 so you can decide which assignments to complete. 10 extra points if you miss no more than 1 class. Expectations are simple and clear. Nathan is pretty nice but his TA is not. Tbh most difficult part is the participation grade. You don't get 100% even if you participate lol.

HIs TAs are the worst and him. They are both insufferable. Making people feel bad about not knowing jazz. Truth is that I do not care about Jazz, taking the class for GE. Who do these guys these they are? Waste of societal resources

professor nathan was pretty nice but his ta (Zachary hamilton) is absolutely horrible. i hope he reads this so he can have a good talk with him. he sucks out all the joy about jazz and makes beginners feel bad about themselves for not knowing as much as advanced jazz musicians when this is a beginner class and GE.
