ANTHONY BLACK

Overall pretty good. My main criticisms are that half of the midterm was just memorizing the date, artist, etc. about 15 different pieces which seemed kind of redundant, and that he would cold call people in class all the time. The actual projects were not very difficult but there was a lot of reading to do throughout the semester.

His lectures are really poorly organized and the grading is slow, which is caused by requiring hard copies of homework (really makes no difference compared to a digital one except being troublesome). His lecture slides always focus on the same paintings and analysis over and over. Plus always talking "um", seeming having poor logic while lecturing.

Prof. Black is a very fun lecturer! You can tell he is passionate about what he talks about. He heavily encouraged student-participation and invited us to give opinions. This is a very reading heavy course. The text is important to the course content, and there is a lot of it. 30ish pages of text and some docs. Very interesting readings though!

Professor Black is awesome. Even though i'm a stem major and I only took this class for a credit I thoroughly enjoyed it — learned a lot and had fun doing it. He is also very understanding and reasonable as well as funny. 100% recommend taking a class with him.

I've read that Prof. Black has lacked in communication through email. Although he's not the most tech savvy, I had no issue communicating with him. When in class, you could tell that he truly valued your opinion and had an open mind to any new ideas. He is very passionate about what he teaches and he encourages students to dive deeper into material

He was an amazing professor! It isn't difficult to get a good grade in the class, and he is so passionate about the subject. Attendance is mandatory, but I really didn't mind coming to class because we talked about interesting topics that were pretty engaging. I have no idea why he has 3 stars?? Definitely take this class, we watched 3 movies too!
