Absolutely, without a doubt the best class I have ever taken at UCLA. Not only do you learn about music from all over the world, but geography, government, social movements - everything ties together when you learn from Jack. Seriously, I took the class almost 2 years ago and I'm still raving about him!

Fall 2023 - Very easy and manageable class. Definitely recommend for an easy GE! As a STEM major the discussions (attendance/'participation' is counted for discussions) were sometimes the most fun class of my week. It depends on the TA but my discussions were silly little activities that didn't require you to have done the readings (plan a music festival, karaoke, make a collage abt a topic, etc). Your grade mainly consists of two papers and a final project, all of which are opinion based and don't require knowledge from the lectures. There are also two take home quizzes that were fairly easy. Lectures were pretty entertaining too but you don't need to go to do well in the class!
