Comment:
Very passionate, goofy and loves his subject and students. However, his slides are VERY difficult to follow. He jumps around WAY TOO MUCH and there is no clear path. I'm not a visarts major, but I did have a passion for Renaissance art prior to this class. Don't use this to simply fulfill a GE, you should really enjoy the subject.

I LOVE THIS TEACHER! I took the Michelangelo class and he is so funny! He is really fun to watch and I love the way he explains things. He knows what he's talking about. I learned SO SO much in this class. It is really hard but it is definitely worth it! I feel like I know everything about Michelangelo now! LOVE HIM

I took the Michelangelo class. This teacher is awesome, but this class is so difficult. He presents so much information and it's really difficult to know what you have to know for the tests. I feel like I'm left in the dark and on my own. Only 2 tests determine your grade! For the final you need 3 blue books! I'm scared. Very interesting stuff, tho

Comment:
I love Prof. Greenstein. I tried to make all of his classes because he is such a passionate speaker about Renaissance art. I love that fact that he doesn't always go along with the text bc he analyzes the facts and comes to his own conclusions, which is great for art criticism. Amazing teacher, very comical at times and not that difficult

If you walk into the class with no passion for the Renaissance you will walk out with a new love for it. He is so passionate about the subject that you cannot help but be excited too. But because he is so well-read, in order to get an A I would recommend attending all lectures and read all readings.

Passionate about what he teaches. You can tell he's an expert about his subjects. Goofy and laughs a lot in class. I'm taking another class of his next quarter because he's so smart. His essays are long though and a lot of detail is expected. Don't fall back on readings, you'll need them for the midterm and final essays.

Greenstien is my favorite art history professor at UCSD. He's pretty critical when it comes to grades, but he'll help you as much as you need in order to earn a good grade. He's approachable and friendly!

Though we had our disagreements at times I came to really like the guy. He is concerned with students doing well in his class, and is willing to work with those that may be having difficulties. He is a genuinely nice guy.

Interesting lecturer, obsessed with Michelangelo, didn't have very much patience replying to emails, don't sit in the front row-he spits.

Although he is entertaining because he doesn't sit still, his tests were brutal and he expected every detail to be remembered. He means well, but not everyone can be an art expert like he expects on exams. Sometimes hard to comprehend.

So much work for this class. Piles on the reading, two papers, and two midterms. Go to lecture because his midterms have visual analysis that he goes over in class. Lots of memorization required too. The final was a paper and a test; the topic for the paper was long complicated & asked for too much.

Wow, he gave the hardest midterm I have ever had at UCSD. He's incredibly smart and knowledgeable about Michelangelo, but a horrid lecturer- SO hard to follow! He's a nice guy though, and kinda cute in that dorky old-guy way, but yeah...way hard.

Passionate about his lectures, but is not the easiest guy to take notes from. Fun class if you like Leo da Vinci/Machiavelli, but if not, you'll hate it. The goofiest looking prof I've had, but seems nice and likeable.
