Professor Harrison is a great professor who legitimately cares about your learning. Everything you need to know in the class is taught in lecture, so you DO NOT have to buy the textbook. That's a plus.

He's very funny and understands what he's lecturing. Just pay attention in class and take GOOD NOTES (write down everything he says). Come midterm/final, create a spreadsheet of all the musicians with their style, instrument, and band. Memorize that spreadsheet, re-read your notes, and you'll do well.

Took him Fall Quarter for 50A, which was a breeze. The class consists of 1 midterm, 2 papers, and 1 final. Send rough drafts of your papers to your TA to edit; I did so on my first paper and got a 99% on it. If you have friends in the class, you don't even need to go to lecture because all his tests are based directly off his lecture notes. I didn't go to a single class after the midterm, and didn't have the notes to study from, but still pulled off an A in this class. I recommend taking it if you want an easy A class.

$30 for the book & course reader.
The first few chapters are highlighted. The rest of the book is untouched.

Great professor, easy class, highly recommend. The midterm and final are all multiple choice questions, with 10 of the questions being song identifications. They are somewhat difficult in the sense that you must memorize a lot of musicians and the instruments they played, but aside from that they are pretty easy. Essays were a breeze, they just take a while to write.

Took Ethnomu50A Fall2012
Selling the Textbook (Jazz in American Culture)
and Course Reader TOGETHER for $50

Both are in really good condition, but there is some highlighting and writing in both

Get at me if you want them! *************

Quick Notes:

Do not take this class if you want to learn anything academic. You won't come out any dumber, but you will probably loose some respect for UCLA. The class is an opportunity for Harrison to fulfill his teaching requirement, tell stories on stage, and get kids to learn the names of a few jazz musicians.

Guide to an A+++++:
Either
1)Show up to lecture. Don't bother buying or reading the book.
Or 2)Read the Hasse book, the Tirro book (from the library) and watch Ken Burn's Jazz documentary.
I suggest number one. It takes four hours a week--2 watching a movie--to get an A++++ in this class (plus writing two essays graded on grammar).

Took 50A during Fall 2012. Barely used the textbook and course reader.

Small tear in the cover of the course reader.

Bought together new for $90. Selling for $70.

Took 50A and 50B

LOVED this class and professor so much i just had to take both the classes. If you are good at memorization, this class is for you.

Go to class, take notes on what he tells you to take notes, go home and memorize them (i used flashcards), and you'll get an A in the class. The discussion section is a bit bothersome because there is a bit of writing you will have to do, but it is such an easy A.

Def recommend taking this class!

Also, if you've read my review + are taking either 50A OR 50B. I have both the coursereaders still. $30 each! Contact me at ********** if interested!
