Comment:
I had Jim in 2006 and he liked students who worked hard and actually had the talent needed to be in the studio /fine arts. He did have memory loss later on and maybe grumpy to those that did not succeed or do the work well but I thought he was a good teacher. I had no problems doing well in his classes.

Comment:
At first I did not like this profesor because he was very critical in a blunt manner. Soon he became one of my favorites because I realized that he had lots of knowledge about art/ceramics and is very good at helping people improve their art aesthetically as well as technically. He has a good sense of humor and can help you if you are patient

Comment:
I had him and hated him. I even posted that here. But since I've escaped and he's gone a little light has been shed on the subject. He had a newly diagnosed medical condition that affected his blood sugar. Which granted should have been more directly delt with, but he was trying. If anyone knows someone with a blood sugar issue you know it can affect mood and memory. No excuse for his behavior but I hope it helps others in knowing that maybe before that he might have been a decent guy.

While it may seem like the comments already posted are harsh, they are for the most part dead on. This man was my advisor as a Graphic Design major with a Multimedia minor and was the main reason why I had to spend thousands of dollars on interim classes i

For a Fine Arts elective, this class is easy!! All you have to do is read EVERYTHING in the handouts and get copies of old tests from the library. His tests are VERBATIM from the handouts. The tests are fill in the blank with a word bank provided. Again, memorize handouts and old test, guaranteed A

"How does it feel to know that you are just as stupid today as you were on the first day of class?" Now that's quality teaching. That's what I'm paying top dollar to learn. Trace out of the anatomy book and use vellum for your anatomy book

This guy is HORRIBLE! He told me that the culinary arts weren't really an art and that I had never been creatively challenged til his class... All he ever did was put in a video, fall asleep, or repeat the same sentance til you wanted to shoot yourself!!

Claims all his students are completely unprofessional and will never get jobs, yet he does not know how to be a professional. Spells the word muscles as muscals or skeleton as skalations. Disappears for the whole class period. Rambles endlessly. :(

I have to rate him a 1 because 0 is not an option. I've got over 100 hrs and have never had a "professor" who was more worthless.

Comment:
It is not necessarily the personality of the man that bothers me as much as his lack of knowledge and respect for students. A ceramics professor should not be teaching a life drawing class. He lacks the credibility that would earn him any respect.

He's my advisor,though i'm a graphic design major. He's disrespectul and hates technology. He told me art ed majors are the most useless people alive and that the internet is going to be dead by the time i graduate, so i shouldn't even bother learning.

I wish that this decrepid old man would just quit. I would rather naw off my own arm than attend his class. Not only is he cenile but he yells at and demeans his students in the worst possible way. He dosn't deserve the title "professor".

Wow this guys is ridiculous. He never gives has requirements but than changes them usually to the complete opposite leaving the students lost and confused. He offers not help to you in acutally fixing your problems. Avoid if possible

I learned more in five minutes with a substitute professor than I did in an entire semester with Hansen. He's a tough grader and makes absolutely no sense when he talks. Avoid taking him at all costs, but life drawing is a requirement.

Many of the comments below sound so petty and juvenile. Jim Hansen is the "stupidest man I have ever met"? I hate to break it to you, but if you can't hack a gen ed class like ART 108, you might as well go to a community college.
