Comment:

I love Karl!!!! He really knows what he's talking about and his lectures are so interesting. But if you take his ARTH classes you better be good at taking notes because his power points dont say anything about the paintings or artists. If you dont show up you will and I mean WILL miss out on a lot of content.

The other awesome reviews are 100% accurate. Best professor I have ever had. He KNOWS his stuff. In just one short semester I feel like Im an expert on Art history now too. So interesting to listen to and theres only three tests and one 2 paged paper. NO reading or annoying homework assignments! Tests are great format. He wants you to succeed.

Karl is the best Art History teacher bar none. If he has a class you need, work your schedule around his time slots, it's worth it. I had always heard about how dry Art History at Towson was, but Karl made me extremely interested in each new era. U do need to pay attention or you'll be lost for his tests. Stay after class to talk with him if u can

Professor Fugelso is hilarious. He always has the funniest stories. He focuses on major themes of art, rather than specific identifications. You don't need the textbook, the exams are directly from the lectures and his assigned readings. Even if you are not an art history major, I would definitely recommend his class!

Comment:

I took this class as an non art major and somehow he made me interested in the course. He's funny and tells personal stories. I really appreciated him as a teacher and I probably would have dropped if it werent for him. art history is extremely boring. I still get bored during the lectures but it could be so much worse. He want everyone to succeed

Karl is by far my favorite professor and person. He's hilarious and teaches with such a passion that t's impossible to be bored. He keeps your attention and explains everything in great detail so you have good notes. There's 3 unit exams- one counting as the midterm and one as the final- and one 2 page museum paper. I'd definitely take him again.

Karl is a great professor. He genuinely cares about his students success. He is very accessible outside of class and will respond to an email within 12 hours. He was very helpful with writing skills. His lectures aren't boring at all and his stories are pretty funny. He does take attendance, but is understanding if you need to miss a class.

Great professor. Extremely knowledgeable in his field. Has some funny stories and insights. Gives great lectures. All his classes are 100% lectures. His tests are kind of difficult. Tons of slides to remember. The writing portions aren't bad if you do the readings. He takes participation into account for the final grade, so if participate youll pas

He is such a great professor. Lectures are long and you have to memorize at least 150 cards per chapter. But he makes it fun and easy to be in the class. He knows how hard it is to memorize all the pieces so he gives advice all the time on how to memorize everything. He also grades a great deal on participation as well. I recommend him.

He's very informative and really encourages you to do well. At first I thought the second part of the art course would be difficult because there's so many artworks to memorize. But Karl Fugelso is a very helpful and nice professor! I recommend students taking him because he's geniune and cares about his students.

Dr. Fugelso is a wonderful teacher and always willing to explain things more than once if you need clarification. The syllabus had a list of what he expects/grades for and he's great at keeping students interested during lecture! Definitely taking class with him again.

Fugelso is a great professor. I had him last semester for Arth and honestly i couldnt of asked for a better teacher for art history. He knew how to keep you interested during the lecture and was pretty easy with the grading. Class participation helps alot.

Karl is the best arth professor I've had. He makes it so interesting. He will laugh at the paintings with you, but also passionately share all he knows about the painters life, culture, etc. Tests are straightforward. No need to buy the book. 1 big assignment- a paper OR art ed lesson plan.

Fantastic teacher! I am not an art major & I got an A in the course. A lot of memorizing artwork's title, artist & dates. 3 test. He likes when you participate. Very friendly & great during lectures (I stayed in the class because I found him so entertaining). I highly recommend him.

Comment:

Loved him. He's definitely my favorite of all the art history professors I've had. Very funny in a slightly nerdy way...he reminds my a lot of Allen from Two and a Half Men. If you do better on the 2nd test than you did on the 1st, he'll change the point scale so you're 2nd test is worth more. SO NICE. If you want an A, you can get an A. TAKE HIM.
