Comment:

Curt is a smart woman, her lectures would be good if I cared about Asian art. If that is not your focus, this class will suck. She has a big brain and subtle humor, but the class is just so dry sometimes and too easy to blow off. She constantly forgets to take attendance and the content is boring

Comment:

She was nothing short of a terrible teacher, she complains when no one is interests, and no one is interested because she can't hold our interests because she doesn't engage our minds, and God forbid you get up to go to the bathroom cause she'll make a snide comment about it to the class after you leave, PLEAS DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!!

I don't even know where to start with her. Avoid her at all costs. Lectures are terrible. Test info is horrible and there is no homework so your grade is based off of the mid-term and final.

Comment:

Nice old lady. Has trouble finding her words so she repeats herself a lot. Lots of annoying papers that dont make sense. Final consists of two in-class essays. The class is easy and is a completely blow off course. Dont buy the books you won't need them. Lots of class discussions. She marks people tardy if they are late by a minute.

Comment:

I thought I took ASIAN ARTS but this class should be BUDDHISM ARTS, in Asia. I am Asian and I love Asian cultures but this class and her lecture is sooo boring. I used to think nothing about Japanese culture will ever make me bored, but she DID it. And her Chinese pronunciation kills me, especially when she tries to pronounce everything Chinese.

Comment:

Though this was a summer class, Dr. Hansman barely gave any work. Tests were kinda tough, but not too bad given the amount of work done. She is super understanding and really cares about her students!! Super available and only wants to help. Super passionate and loves what she's teaching though she is incredibly disorganized and goes on tangents

Comment:

I love Dr. Hansman. As an adult student, I love how deep her lectures are. A lot of kids don't appreciate it her intellectual and deep lectures. She barely gives out any work and her classes are all lecture. She is very nice and outspoken. If you want to learn, take her. Her work is also easy. I feel bad for her cause she's so passionate too

Comment:

I absolutely love art and Buddhism and I thought she was a very sweet lady. HOWEVER, she constantly jumps back and forth between slides, making it extremely hard to take notes. This makes studying for exams the WORST. It's funny that she is a professor of Buddhist art yet she is very eccentric and emotional. Would not recommend.

Comment:

The most unorganized professor ever. The powerpoints are all over the place and she doesn't define specific pieces to know for the exam. Slow at posting slides, and it rooms hours to get her notes under control enough to study. Nice lady, but boring and confusing class. Would not recommend

Comment:

She is a very easy prof. requires like 3 books but very rarely were they used. take if interested in art/art history. incredibly easy. the complainers are the people who dont rly appreciate art. be sure to participate in discussions! that is a guaranteed A if u contribute intellectually. she's funny too, not a boring class at all. there is groupwrk

Comment:

She is the cutest and sweetest lady ever which makes me feel bad saying that she should not be a teacher. She clearly loves and knows what she is talking about but is the most unclear and confusing teacher I have ever had. She does not know how to teach to students who do not possess prior knowledge of the subject matter.

Comment:

She's scatterbrained and all over the place. But the woman is adorable. If you get past the ridiculous amount of times she says "um" in a given class, she's pretty great. She's pretty crazy, but a pretty good professor. She knows her stuff and gets really passionate about it.

Comment:

take a class with this professor if you want to be miserable. she is constantly trying to prove that she is the smartest person in the room. she takes everything very personal and will personally attack students. im sure she means well, but has a slight paranoia and anger problem

Comment:

WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE HAD YET!! She just simply doesn't know how to teach and she seems to grade in a completely subjective way. If you get stuck taking a class with her I have one piece of advice, drop out of school and cut your losses.

Super unorganized. Basically she stops mid sentance and says something else. Powerpoints are all over the place. She's a really nice lady but a horrible professor.

After taking her class and getting an A- I still have no idea what it was about. She is unorganized and impossible to follow. Do not take her if you can avoid it.

I cannot stand this website and think it is for students who are looking for an easy A/Should return back to high school. That being said, this professor inspired me to get on here to tell you DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. IT IS USELESS AND SHE has NO IDEA what she's talking about. KILL ME. If you want to waste your money learning nothing, take her class

Comment:

I really can't believe the poor reviews here. Professor Hansman is sweet as pie, passionate about the subject, and would offer ANY additional help you needed if you only ask. She encourages participation and students ideas. She grades fairly. I want to put her in my pocket. She's the best. I only regret I've maxed the classes I can take with her.
