Comment:
Although I already knew all the material (its a required class for all art majors) I really enjoyed his class and I still learned a lot. He has a quiet sense of humor and sometimes I had some trouble staying awake but he makes up for it in his extensive knowledge of photography. Take him! (its an easy A. He has one test and you do 8-10 photographs)

Comment:
If you already know about photography, take a different prof. He doesn't have much of a sense of humor and he's not very sensitive, so be cautious when asking "dumb" questions. Take good notes because the midterm is near impossible. (He did curve though)I suggest you go to open lab hours, it's not near as stressful.

Comment:
A really nice yet completely uninteresting guy. He's very knowledgeable about photo, so if you're beginning and want to know every little thing about it he's the prof for you but if you're more interested in darkroom time and hands on experience find someone else or go into a higher class.

Comment:
I learned a lot about cameras and lighting, but did not get better at actually taking photos because there is so little darkroom time. He's a nice guy and if you genuinely try you'll get a fair grade. But generally, I wouldn't recommend this class unless you have the time to go to extra darkroom hours to perfect your photos.

Comment:
Great professor to learn basics of photography from, especially if you're into it yourself. Anyone who talks bad about him is either lazy or disinterested in the craft. I advise not to take this class or drop it now and instead let some1 who truly CARES about photography take it! Check out his bi-polarized ice project: http://www.jamesmoninger.com/

Comment:
The first six weeks all he does is lecture so that you understand the basics of photography. Make sure to take notes because the midterm will be hard but its the only test you have to take. If you are serious about photography, he will help you. Come during open hours, you are able to focus more on your prints instead of the time. Bring your ipod.

Comment:
He knows a lot about photography and if you ask him for help, you can get it. Not the easiest prof. in the world but you can learn good photography if you try. You have to spend some time on your prints outside of class or you wont do well. If you are really interested in photo, then you'll do fine.

His leactures are good. He is a fair teacher... As long as you do not go into this class thinking this is going to be an easy "A" class. It's easy if you study just like with every other class...

Comment:
tenured = unapproachable; defensive; lectures only b/c he has to. makes you develop a negative association to photography. no extra time given outside of class to develop prints. no prints = horrid grade.

Lectures have no relevence to class whatsoever. Completely boring and makes a potentially great class wretched. Only take if you absolutely love photography.

lectures are boring, but still helpful. doesn't get too involved with class, which I actually like. leaves you room to work on your own stuff independently. he's there to ask questions, give advice on certain pics, etc. could be better, but he's ok
