I'm not an art student nor am I really interested in art, but he made this class pretty interesting and isn't a boring lecturer. A very nice and approachable teacher who you can tell is passionate about his work.

Dr. Putney has to be my favorite professor ever. I love his classes and could listen to him talk about art forever. I try to take at least one class with him every semester. He is also extremely funny and makes classes both fun and interesting.

Dr. P is a great teacher who really loves the subject that he teaches. He is willing to help whenever needed and his classes are well done. I've had him for a teacher a few times now and I can say that he is very funny and layed back while also making sure you also learn. He's one of my favorite teachers to date.

He is a great teacher who loves what he teaches. You have to come to class every day because attendance is mandatory. The class that I took only had one paper and the midterm and final exam which seems to be standard in art history classes at UT. The paper was easy to write and the midterm and final are not to hard if you study for them.

Very into what he's talking about. His exams are difficult if you don't take good notes and study, since it's not multiple choice. Just simply questions that you have to write out answers to. But if you pay attention and try hard, he's not that bad at all

Putney can talk for three days about the same sculpture so much it is burned into your memory forever. He is not very clear as to what he will be expecting for the tests. He would stress things in class and then they wouldn`t be on the exam. I am personally thankful I am no longer taking his class.

Awesome instructor. Great wealth of knowledge, made the material very interesting. Because of this man I changed my major from studio art to Art History. Had him for several classes and loved every minute of them!

I had Aspects of Medieval Art and it was the greatest class I've ever had (and I don't give a crap about art). Best professor I've ever had...hands down. He's understanding, clear, and extremely knowledgeable. Do yourself a favor and take at least one class with him.

Worst class and and second worse professor i've ever had! Completely ignored my and other students complaints that we had no art background and that he was moving through the material to fast! Expects everyone to be art majors in his class, and doesn't bother to explain anything to you if your not one. Avoid this guy at all cost!
