His name is Professor Gerald Tiffany. He does not require that you take notes, as much of the class is opinion, discussion, and the occasional "test" which is just "listen to these songs that I play and write about why they are great songs."<br/><br/>I am being very specific because he's molded after a real life English Professor I had, right down to the speech impediment (an unfortunate consequence of throat cancer-don't worry, he's had it beat for years).
