Comment:
Professor Simcoe is a fantastic professor and really challenges you to learn the fundamentals of art and its foundations. Even though his class is very difficult, it challenges you in a positive way if you are planning on becoming an artist. However, if you want an A, you will have to really work for it.

I honestly did not know what we were talking about 90% of the time. Get ready to be assigned several one hour drawings or more per week.

I'm sure he's a nice guy but the way he treats us in class, especially the ever hilarious "nope, you're wrong" to the dead silent classroom makes it hard to respect him. I literally gave up trying answer questions 'cause if even a part of what I guessed was wrong he called it out. but there's good news folks: you can variance Art and the Bible now

Comment:
Ok. So the class I took, Art & the Bible, is one of the most useless, irrelevant classes I've ever taken. His tests are all lecture-based. You have to take notes on EVERYTHING. Even things that seem like off-hand random unrelated comments will be on the extremely difficult tests. Lectures are super boring. Should not be a required class at all!

He is a good teacher and means well. He helped me out majorly in the class. All I did was ask. He is a good guy and he is the only one who teaches this class so better get used to him. He offers extra credit, make sure you do it. And take notes on everything he says its basically all on the exams.

Good professor is your a rocket scientist. Gives more visual perceptions about religious art, but very hard class. Very strict about grades. Opinions are wrong, only his opinions are the "right" answers.

He's a nice professor but he grades pretty strict. If you take him prepare to have your abilities strained if you want a decent grade.

Comment:
One of the best professors I've ever had. He wasn't always easy to understand but he raised the bar for me and I'll always be grateful for that. He introduced me to art and concepts that I never would have known about otherwise. Wish I could take another class.
