Comment:

WOULD NOT TAKE HIM EVER AGAIN. Just took class for gen ed and i hated it. He's so confusing and hard to understand. Sometimes he's funny but for the most part the class was so boring. He talks in circles and doesn't make it clear on what he wants for the assignments. Just do not take unless absolutely necessary.

Comment:

Absolutely Awful, his assignments are confusing and take a lot of time, his test are difficult are a based on how the guy that write the texts thinks. You have to read the book 50 times for it to make sense. Don't take his class especially if you don't want to spend many classes talking about naked people and watch him play with barbies.

Comment:

INART100 is pointless unless you are an ART major. The assignments are tedious and cumbersome. Simply put, this class is easy and strait forward and if you put in the the required work, you should be able to get an A. But you are better off picking another GEN ED where you actually learn something.

This guy has no idea what hes talking about. His English is terrible. I dont know how this guy is a teacher because he is one of the most unorganized people out there. Do not take this class

He is very confusing and never clarifies what he wants exactly. I took the class as an elective and regret it. His organizational skilla are poor.

I enjoyed this class. I thought it was an easy A for gen eds. I'm into art so I appreciated the class. I can say the only bad thing about this class was the group project, make sure you get clear instructions from Master and communicate with your group members. Read the chapters, this class is all about what Berger thinks and you'll do great!

Ugh. Carlos. His class was sooo boring. But all his tests are take home and relatively easy. He has a thick accent and his wardrobe is probably more than your tuition bills.

Comment:

Nice guy but boring class. We looked at pictures and then wrote papers about paintings and advertisments. Unorganized and his grading system is very inconstistant.Best part of the class was when we went on a trip to New York to the Museum of Modern Art and to see a show.

Carlos is always willing to help his students-just ask! I'm an art major, and he's taught me ALOT! This man makes everything look easy, and his work is amazing! If you're into theater and you want to know what goes on with theater sets, he's your guy. He'll teach you alot even if you're not interested. Carlos RULES!!

I actually looked forward to going to this class - we got to make really cool things like "puppet talking heads" and carvings etc., he is also an extremely nice man (with an accent). If you have the opportunity and the choice - choose this class!!!

Comment:

This man works magic and makes things look incredibly easy. All work is done in class, unless you miss a lot, but even still it isn't hard to make up. Class consists of three projects and a final (presentation of the last project) and that's it. Even without any experience in art I got an A; he grades you on your ability and effort which is good.

He's horrible... I got really frustrated because I couldn't understand a word he said. He made the class miserable even for me, and I love theater.

Comment:

easy A. Class is kind of fun. But he doesn't really teach. He just kind of says this is the project - try to do it. But not everybody's an artist and he understands that so he grades accordingly, as long as you try you'll get an A.
