I took a course on Jazz appreciation or something at IU and I was loving it, however a month or two into the semester we started having these quizzes where the professor would play a clip and we would have to know who the saxophonist was just based on their playing style. And I understand that this is a thing that true, devoted fans of jazz can do, but for me it was ridiculous and basically impossible. I failed multiple quizzes in a row and had to drop the class to salvage my GPA even though I loved going to that class otherwise. It was a bummer
