<p>My Music Theory teacher in HS is getting his masters in jazz at UVA and he said Scott Deveaux is amazing. He strongly encouraged me to take History of Jazz (which I was gonna do anyway).</p>
<p>Would you guys reccomend taking a 300 Math or 300 Biology Class freshman year??</p>
<p>here's the thing with 300 level courses. the assumption is you could have/did pass, with a decent grade, any 100 or 200 level courses that relate to the material in the 300 level class. </p>
<p>So if you look at the subject matter of the 300 level course, think you know something about it, look to see if there was anything beforehand, and know you have a good grasp on that, then, hell, go for it. </p>
<p>just be aware that 300 level courses are not introductory. they will not start from scratch. you are expected to understand and be able to utilize all the major fundamentals and tools of the general subject.</p>
