I'm selling the book and the course reader for Ethno 50A together for 80 bucks! The course reader alone is 50 bucks if you buy it in westwood, so it's a pretty good deal! Both are in perfect condition, no writing, highlighting, or creases. I only used it for a summer session! Email me at sogolashrafian@aol.com if you are interested.

this class is super easy. the first two or three lectures were interesting, but after that they just got boring. take good notes in class since you cannot get them from the book. you have to do two papers and a concert report, which are super easy if you get going and get feedback from your TA. they will basically tell you what to change to get an A+. also, attendance in discussion is part of your grade, so go even if its boring. totally recommend this class though. the final is not cummulative and is during tenth week, and you need like 2 nights to study for the midterm and final. one to memorize the songs for it, and one to memorize names and instruments. its kind of a lot of names, but make flash cards and you'll be fine. the TAs give out study guides, so just learn the names on there. SUPER EASYYYY! take it.

Harrison obviously cares a lot about the material and usually makes it interesting to learn, it's an easy A as long as you take notes in lecture and learn all the names of composer and musicians. Don't bother buying the textbook, you won't need it. Course reader is helpful for writing papers.

I'm selling my course reader for $15 in good condition, if interested let me know! christinaalexandres@gmail.com

Professor Harrison is one of the best professors that I've had at UCLA. He makes everything interesting and even says corny jokes and then laughs at himself. He made jazz super interesting (I was never ever interested in it before) and I even grew to appreciate it. The class is pretty easy but there is a handful of musicians and facts to memorize. Just don't cram everything and you'll be fine. The test is multiple choice and the papers are super easy because the topics are super broad. TAKE THIS CLASS :D One of the easiest GEs everrrrrrrr.

ALSO, I'm selling the course reader for this calss. I got it for $50 but I'm selling it for $30. Any takers?? :)

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.

Super easy class. Just one audition in the beginning of the year and you're in if you actually know how to play! Fun overall; great experiences to be had. This is where it's at.

The class is straightforward. Its pretty much all memorization. You have to memorize musicians by the time periods they played in and what instrument they played. You also will have to read the book to get more facts for the midterm and final because the professor didn't cover them in class. Essay wise, the grading will vary, sometimes greatly, depending on which TA you have. I recommend AJ Kluth or Alex Rodriguez. They will help out a lot. I am almost certain the negative reviewers below had a bad TA. Overall, this is definitely one of the easiest GE's.

Easy A. I have the textbook that is required for Ethno 50B. The textbook is really helpful when writing the papers. HMU 951-214-8026
