I did not plan on taking this class and he turned out to be one of my favorite teachers I've had up here and I enjoyed his class as well. He might not be the easiest professor you'll ever have, but the most educated. If you do what you're supposed to, you will be fine. For those who are looking for something easy to pass, this might not be it.

Comment:
Absolutely out of touch with college students and should retire. This man has made millions off of his own works, and people treat him as an individual who can do no wrong because of his career before he was a professor at CalU. I put in a great deal of time outside of class and I ended up getting an F. No criteria and he will not help you in class

He expects a lot of perfection, even if you are not an art major. I worked really hard outside of class to get it right and got a B. He is very talented but do not take it you are looking for an easy art credit!

Comment:
I have never taken ceramics before in my life. He was not helpful at all and expects you to be able to do it perfect after seeing it a few times. He grades you like everyone is a art major which I am not. This has no prereqs and can be taken by anyone. If you want to learn I suggest to take it else where.

He is an excellent take not mess teacher. You will have to commit time to improve and he can tell if you are committed. Tough teachers are the best ones. I never had pottery until college and because of his standards it ended up being my minor. He's an excellent potter :-D

This class will require alot of work from the student if you want a good grade and want to learn about ceramics. Duke will be willing to help you if YOU ASK! He is very talented in his own right and we are lucky to have someone of his caliber teaching at our University. If you don't want to put the time in, don't bother taking the course.

Class is ridiculous. He expects way too much from students and doesn't help at all. Lectures are very boring too. Do not take him.

This class was fun to make usable art; cups jars & pitchers all semester. 24/7 studio He requires you to have at least 3 hours of out of class work per week! which is not bad because you can go to class early or stay later. He is a down to earth guy with a dry sense of humor. You got to work for your grade he is about craftmanship not creativity.

I've heard that Duke no longer teaches this class which is a shame. I loved this class more than any other and it was because of his gifted presentation of the subject. He made it come alive. When I went to Italy, it was magic because of the understanding and background I had on the art.

This class was not at all what i expected. He is a very nice guy but if you don't want to read a lot then don't take this class. It does require you to read and study for the tests. Other than that i enjoyed this class.

I suggest, you not take this class. Unless it's required. For a 100 level course, it is far too difficult. He is unclear on what he expects from you. If you are very and I mean, VERY good at memorizing, then give it a try. Also, read the chapters that he assigns because they do help and he does quiz on them.
