Comment:

Dr. B is such a great guy, he's pretty much your hilarious grandpa figure. However, he teaches the literal most boring classes in Swope that you will remember nothing from when you leave since you didn't spend nearly enough time on the subjects that are actually important. A fault of the curriculum, not him, he's awesome.

Comment:

Balthazar is the man. He doesn't care if you show up or what you do in his class. you can sleep, text, eat, listen to your ipod. He cracks the funniest jokes ever. Really cool guy. If you memorize the study guides in the back of the handbook he wrote, you'll do fine. The quizzes are copied straight from them, and the tests relate. It's a good class

Comment:

I really don't mind the subject matter, it is just the way he presents it that is the killer. As another stated, we have quizes incessantly and for no other reason than to kill our confidence and interest in anything we might think we understood. He also feels the need to drink gatorade every single day in class.. like teaching is a sport

Comment:

QUIZ-CRAZED, BORING & ANAL-RETENTIVE! We had a quiz on the 3rd day of class for cripes sakes! What is THAT all about??? He is definitely the squeaky-wheel this semester, leaving little time for me to devote to my other classes. Wish I dropped the class when I had the chance. :(

Professor Balthazar is a great teacher. All you need to do is pay attention and get extra help when needed. Not only is great explaining things but he knows what it's like to be a student. Definitely recommended :).

Classes are boring. Not necessary to purchase book because you only use it to look at paintings. Take notes, pay attention and have good attendance and you will do fine.

That monotone voice needs to go in order to keep the students awake, especially morning classes. He was extremely boring except the gothic period. very picky with the grading.

Mundane class--could have been vibrant with the right presentation. You could tell this instructor had tenure--he cancelled two classes Fall term.

This class was so boring early in the morning, but what can you do. He has a very monotone voice and it makes you want to fall asleep. But if you pay attention and keep up with the work, you will get an A.

An awesome class, very funny guy. The material that he teaches is very interesting, and i learned a ton. He graded fairly and deserves a fair rating. If your lazy take some one else, the class isn't a tough challenge, but just go to class, loser

If you take great notes & study his packet you will do well in his class. Classes may become boring but by staying alert you'll do well in his class. Essays are given out prior to the test, good amount of reading & studying

Very boring lectures..Take good notes..Tests are easy if you follow the study guide. He practically hand feeds you the test..Also tells you the essays ahead of time.
