Comment:
Great professor! He is an intelligent instructor, knows his subject well. I was in his class for Art of Ancient Mexico. Great stories and makes you think, challenges your bias and perceptions that are brought into the class and flips them. Wonderful lectures, never get bored of hearing him speak on what he knows best.

Comment:
history of graphic design in the summer. it was a waste of time and money. he would tell us what would be on the test and then it would all be totally opposite or his opinions would change. just memorize everything possible and you'll pass. he is prone to tantrums if you ask too many questions or disagree with his outdated opinion, so stay quiet.

Comment:
Took History of Advertising Art with this guy and glad I didn't have to take any others. The lectures weren't bad if you don't mind lots of sexual innuendo about everything going on within the advertisements we were critiquing. Got angry at something one day and left the class, barely after it had begun. Unprofessional, in my opinion.

I absolutely loved him as an instructor! He was truly inspirational. He can make ancient art history relevant to todays social, political... realities with great clarity, all while pissing you off and making you think. That's what great instructors do.

i took this in the summer, so I only had to deal with a night class for 6 weeks. We were obligated to read an old Modern Art article or 2 before every class started, so we could have a 2 hour discussion. then he taught with slides, and the last day we had a 10 minute presentation to do.goodteacher

Very energetic, can go off on tangents but still very interesting and funny at times. Just his opinion, take it or leave it kind of guy. Knows his stuff. Very helpful, willing to work with you. I had him for West. History I also, no trouble with test outline. Worth my time, had him for 3 classes.

depends on what class...but know that you're going to HVAE to know the lectures and slides regardless of what he says. Throws tantrums? Yes. Unless you're a sponge, you need to take notes and study. Asian art needs more than just one day.

tells us a test will be on something, in this form, and everything is opposite. Told us there would be no slide identification for a test, it was ALL slide identification. class is structered poorly.

Good depending on the class you have him with. Don't count too much on the syllibus, likes to change final test/papers/projects around. Can throw temper tantrums. Nice enough, laid back for the most part.

ad art hist. what stupid class... one test halfway through, based on things "supposedly" in the lecture- the rest of the semester's lecture has no meaning to any assignment because you are all working on a presentation on one advertisement.

He is a must if you want to learn anything—knows the subject inside and out. Incredibly interesting. And the class is easy if you study for a day or two before the tests. Loved by slackers AND over-achievers!
