BREEZE! EASY A+...only tests, 20 questions, with an hour and a half to answer them. Listening quizzes are easy b/c when you download them it tells you the artist and title on the download file. Concert video at end, is a little difficult, but if you watch the videos its a breeze. You work at own pace...EASY!!!

This class was awesome (& on-line)! way easier than actually talking a class. All you do is buy the books (2 thin books + CD), You take the practice exams (which you can take over & over with the CD).. write your answers in the pract. test booklet..and Take the real test and get an A+! Good luck!

i finished the entire class in one day. 17 exams in 1 day.. it took all day but hey, better one day than going to a lecture class for 9 weeks oh and i got an A+

Holy Crap was this calss easy... 1 Small problem, the book is way overpriced, but if you've ever sat through a class and said " I wonder if I could slip the teacher a Benjamin to gimme an A" this class is for you.

This is a wonderful class!very easy!all you need to do is take short tests any time you like.this class will never give you a headache.very pleasant class!

Great Teacher!! Fun class for a history credit, and I learned a lot. For all you music students looking for an alternative to Baroque & Classical, or Romantic through 20th Century, THIS IS YOUR CLASS! The TA was very helpfull and he's willing to work with you on anything you have trouble understanding.

EASY, EASY, EASY!!! If you need a fine arts credit, do yourself a favor and take this stupidly easy course. Yes, the book and software are $90, but its so worth it!!! Teacher doesn't do jack, but the TA's will help out. Again...EASY!

WOW WUT AN EASY CLASS!! if you read the slides you will get an A+ The software was a little tricky but other than that, EASY

Online class, so I don't know what I can say about the teacher. Easiest class at the university. Take it if you need your fine arts credit.

Awesome class! I took notes on all of the slides b/c I have no short term memory lol.... i ended up with an A+ because I did everything on time and 95% or better on all tests. TA very helpful, didn't really talk to professor.

Don't know if this still applies because I took the class a year ago. But it was very easy (I got an A+). Plus, who doesn't like to learn about Jazz? Just be careful, because the software has A LOT of computer glitches. Other than that, very easy and fun class.

I took the Survey of Jazz course and there's is no reason to rate Jack Wilkins with this class at all. Besides getting the software together he has NOTHING to do with it. He's a great person, as far as I know, though I haven't had a class with him, I've never heard bad reports from his real students. You can't judge from and online class!!

easy online class.

This is an "easy A" class in my opinion. I took the class with a friend so we split the readings. Read the readings before the quiz and you'll score a 100%. This is a work at your own pace class. You could finish the whole class in a day if you wanted. Nice class if flexibility is needed. There is 12 quizzes. 10 reading quizzes and 2 music quizzes.

1/2 of assignments due in the middle of the semester and the rest are due at the end. not too interesting. If u take the practice tests over and over again until you get the right answer, you will do fine on the multiple choice quizzes. Listening tests aren't too hard. I suggest writing down the information under each clip for listening tests

Very easy class. Take it to boost your GPA.

EASY A! It took me about eight hours total to finish this class and i'm only three weeks into this semester. He gives you everything you need to succeed. My advice is to find a partner and work together. As far a Jack Wilkins, I havent met him but he posts everything on blackboard that you need to know.

This is my one and only A+ in college seriously the easiest class you can take at USF. I'd like to thank the professor for making this success possible. Clear, concise, and too the point I wish all classes were taught this way.

took jazz with him, very easy class. You have to purchase the 70 dollar online book with tests, but it's an easy A for sure. I mean you really just buy yourself an A, but i'd take it to boost your GPA. Dont know much about the teacher, but he sounds funny on the mini lectures he does with the book.

Easy online class. Take the practice quizzes, the exams are almost identical. He blames every problem on Faulkner Media, even if it's a course related trouble rather than a tech. difficulty.

you have to figure out how to get an A in this class, but it isn't hard to do. Make sure the website is a #1 reference, the notes are great but really long so skim over them!

AWESOME PERSON, AWESOME TEACHER!! GREAT JAZZ BAND!!

Not sure why the bad ratings. There are 3 tests early on that count way too much toward your grade. They are about how to do research, which you do some in this class. The tests are straight from the online readings. You can't have them open during tests, so I typed them into word. It helped me learn and I could search them during tests. Easy A.

3 lit quizzes, 10 chap quizzes, 2 listening quizzes, 4 research assignments/daily posts, 1 jazz concert attendance quiz. Yes the class is harder than before but it is still SUPER easy. The research assignments take 2 hours at most and daily posts 30 min. Just look at what everyone else wrote. Also, take this class with friends for ease with quizes

GREAT EXPERIENCE! I learned way more than I thought that I would. I am not a music major and knew nothing about Jazz. This was a great introduction to Jazz. He is very fair and states what you need to do. Do well on the 10 quizzes and you've got an easy A. He offers extra credit concerts to attend. Excellent teacher! Awesome class!

Survey of Jazz was a very easy class although the class requires a little more work than previous semesters. An A is definently possible if you just take the time to do the online test, dicussion board, and 1-2 research projects. The class can get kind of annoying when you have better things to do with your time but it is definently easy.

Ridiculously easy class. I almost couldn't believe it. 10 tests, based solely off the text. I could have taken this class in my sleep and still passed with flying colors. No joke.

Easiest class you'll ever take in your entire life. Definitely recommend it for that mandatory Fine Arts credit!

Easy class for a fine arts credit. Easy online class as well. Got an A+

Easiest online class ever. All of the quizzes are based off of the text.

Currently taking Jazz Survey online. Extremely well organized. Love the multi-media resources. Took the course because I like jazz. Now I love jazz and have many new favorites: Waller, Gillespie, Monk, plus appreciation for roots of jazz. Great stuff. Highly recommend this class for jazz fans and non fans. Life enriching.

Just finished taking this class online. If you can't make an A here, you shouldn't be in school at all. Extremely easy and actually pretty interesting. I had really no interest or knowledge of Jazz until now. Highly recommended if you need an easy upper level elective or fine arts class.

Online class, fairly easy. Pretty confusing at times, but nothing you can't handle. Text book is online, and all of your quizzes are through that, so you are stuck buying the $90 program. Other than that, I'd say definitely an easy A. Just keep up with the work and ask questions if you are confused about due dates or anything!

Please take this class. weekly quizzes, two db, and online jazz concert attendance or in person. Very easy and interesting. guaranteed A.

This course was really easy. The textbook was overpriced but all the answers for the tests are all verbatim. Easy A.

EASY A! Weekly quizzes but you can none ahead. 2 discussions. And extra credit concert attendance. TAKE THIS CLASS.

This class was very easy and requires minimal effort. I spent less than two hours on this class each week and finished with a 99.4%. The class is very interesting and engaging. Take this class if you can!

Easiest class I've ever taken! You get a week to read and take each test and there are only 10 so you finish before the semester ends. You can do extra credit concert video quizzes which are only 10 questions I think, and they are easy too.

Online class: everything is laid out in the syllabus. Quizzes will be almost your entire grade but they are relatively easy and almost verbatim from the lectures. Overall very easy class and would take again.

This course is an easy A. All you need to do is read the lectures he posts and then take the short tests every week. Theres 10 tests overall, 2 discussion questions, and one concert attendance.

This is one of the easiest online classes ever. There are 10 sessions in the course, & for each session there is a 20 question test. The tests are simple and contain content from the text and music that was in the text as well. There is an online concert to attend (there will be a quiz after) and two discussions on canvas (easy!). Guaranteed A+.

Easiest class at USF. Ten twenty-question tests, two discussions, and no Final! Enough said.

Easiest online class ever. 10 test, 2 discussions, and some literary information quizzes. No final. Must buy a code and book online for $99. Test are for each session( chapter) and some questions are specific. But it is online so I wrote a lot of notes and used them and it made the test easy.

EASY A, TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!

Do your tests on time, but you can get ahead if you want. Make sure you do your discussion posts and make sure to do a good job on them because they weigh heavily on your grade. He is very helpful and you can email him if there are any problems and he will respond quickly to you.

Incredibly easy class as long as you just do the work. I never had to interact with Wilkins, so I can't comment on what others are saying about him.

I was enrolled in his Survey of Jazz online class. The work was easy. Just read the lesson for the week, take notes if you need to then take the quiz. Questions do come from the lecture. At the end of the semester, you're required to "attend" a concert (watch a video) then write your thoughts on it afterward.

This class is an easy A as long as you take good notes. Most of the points are from chapter quizzes, with some easy class discussions in between. The material is somewhat boring, but presented well enough that it isn't too bad.

This class is a cakewalk, read the required readings from the online software and do the tests and you are guaranteed to make a good grade. Downloading shazam will also make your life a lot easier.

Easiest class I have ever taken. Just do your work on time and you'll get an A+

Very Easy A. Take this class if you need a little boost in your GPA

Download the software they tell you to, do the Faulkner tests on time, and write a few sentences on the discussion post. Super easy A just meet the deadlines!

Extremely easy course you could finish weeks before the semester even ends if you wanted to. Only downside was the software was expensive

Took online. All you have to do is download software, read the sessions, and take quizzes. 2 discussion post assignments but both very simple and truly interesting. Clear grading criteria, pay attention to deadlines in Syllabus. Gives quick responses. Software is slightly confusing at first but play around with it and its self explanatory.

Took Survey of Jazz online. Beware that you must buy the program that costs around $100- this is considered the "textbook", but it is where you use for quizzes. The course had 10 quizzes, "concert attendances", two discussions and a global citizens project essay. The posts were graded fairly easily. Not a hard course.

Survey of Jazz is the easiest class I have taken. Although it's a 3000 level class, this is easier than most of my 1000 level classes by far. I finished this class before Thanksgiving Break and you can easily finish it before this if you take the time to do it. The exams are easy and the reading materials are easy. I highly recommend this class.

I just finished MUH3016 online with professor Wilkins. The class is already very easy and professor Wilkins makes it even easier. I did not dedicate much time to this class and was able to score a 97%. If you do all the assignments with a base level of effort, you should no trouble receiving an A. He is also very accessible and responds quickly.

I enjoyed the class, it was very easy and the majority of the class revolved around a downloadable software.

Class took very little time out of my week. I consider it to be an easy A, has two discussion assignments, 10 quizzes, and few summaries. You don't need to know anything about music to do well, they are light graders.

the class is very easy to take and will help you out. Not a hard class as long as you know when the deadlines are.

Prof. Wilkins gives clear instructions as far as what he is looking for in this course. You must read carefully and follow the instructions to earn an A. I had no issues with the Faulkner software or the exam grades posting correctly in Faulkner or Canvas. I earned an A+ in two weeks of this four-week course. Your effort determines your grade.

Extremely easy class. Takes very little time out of the week and as long as you turn in assignments on time and are a decent writer its an easy A

I was a little nervous about taking this class after reading some of the ratings. But it was solid. The work is not bad or crazy hard. When I had questions they were answered in a timely manner. Grading did not take long. Be prepared to read!

i took this class in the summer and it was one of the easiest classes to take. your grade is based of 2 quizzes week and a paper and a discussion and finally 3 more quizzes at they end. you will need to buy the Faulkner software for 100 bucks!! other than that the class is very easy with little effort put to it.

The program is 100$ and looks like it was made in 2001. Other than that, it was a fairly easy class. Takes some time, but isn't too difficult. Only thing that makes me kinda mad is that the essay is 1000 words but counts little to your grade. I would still recommend doing it. Overall a boring class, but can be an easy A if you put the time into it.

Professor Wilkins wrote the textbook that is used heavily in the class, nevermind the fact that you can't take the Topic tests without the Faulkner software the textbook is on. Read the topics, take the Topic tests and you should be fine. One essay, but it isn't a dealbreaker for a good grade in the class. Super easy A would take for more credit

take this class it is so easy. do the reading and you will be find. answers to most assignments can be found online. 10 tests, no final, 1 essay, a few quizzes and discussion posts. ended with a 98. assignments are quick and easy.

Took survey of jazz and it was the easiest A ever.

This was a great way to earn credit for a higher level course that required a little amount of work. One quiz each week and they are so easy if you take pictures of the reading and refer back to it. Two papers, each 1000 words. One discussion post. Three short tests at the end of the course about jazz elements but the answers are all in the module.

Professor Wilkins is a good and easy professor! His survey of jazz class is great for a GPA boost, and interesting. You can work ahead and get a good grade pretty easily. Beware, the textbook is kinda expensive and you have to have it for the software, which is pretty outdated. Otherwise this class is great and Professor Wilkins is a great choice!

There are assigned readings every week, pretty easy. Every Friday, you get a test. That's it, w appropriate gen ed assignments too. Straight forward and self-explanatory. easiest class ever.

This course was pretty straightforward, if you are looking for an easy A course, look no further. Put in some effort, and you could most likely finish this course in a few weeks.

easy A. perfect for Maymester!! you can finish the whole course in a week if you have the time! yes, software is super old and $100, but... easy class. perfect for bus majors needing a quick non-bus course

This class was cake. I only ever used google and ended with an A+. all the answers are easily accessible online and the paper wasn't hard at all. my only complaint with this class and this professor is that you have to pay $100 for the outdated software you do the homework on. It sucks. He could easily just put them on canvas. but he is really nice

The class is easy. You get this old-looking software and answer online quizzes every week based on lectures. The quizzes are open note and answers are easy...... Overall, the only downside to this class is that the software is not intuitive (very antiquated) and its $100. Otherwise, easy credits.

this class is VERY EASY. I barely try on the papers and get full credit every time. Only downside is that the software looks very outdated, but once you get used to it its easy to use. Very easy A that you can half try to earn. 10 Online 20Q multiple choice tests that are straight out of the text. A few papers and other things too.

His rubric for his papers is very clear, it is super easy to do well in this class. There are textbook quizzes every week but they aren't that difficult.

If you're in doubt about taking this class... take it. Easy 3 credits, especially if you put in a little bit of effort. The only downside is that the software costs $100, but it's very user friendly and accessible. There's quizzes on the text every week, and the answers come straight from the text. I'd take this course again if I could.

Nice easy class for Gpa booster, and professor responds in a timely manner.

Easy class for a GPA boost. The weekly textbook quizzes are straightforward, and Unstuckstudy was a great study tool alongside the provided materials. The software is a bit outdated, but overall a solid option.
