Comment:
I'm an art major so I like him he is a woke king but he is also a boring king if you don't like art. Honestly, you can skip class because he doesn't know how to use the iclickers. Just be super chill with the TAs and you'll get an A.

doesnt know how to get iclickers to work half the time, lectures drag on from the slides themselves, hard to pay attention to monotone voice. nice professor though.

Comment:
Reads directly from his slides in a slow rambling voice. Graffiti and Murals was way more Murals than graffiti, and many of his slides repeated information. He wanted iclickers but they never worked and we eventually stopped having physical classes, and he was already uploading his PowerPoints. Tests are almost word for word from his slides.

Comment:
Don't take a class with him if you want to have a clue about the subject. He's long winded and rambling, and in the class I was in we never got our papers back promptly (a class of 5 had over a month with no papers back despite continually asking) and never received any sort of prompts. It was impossible to tell how to get an A in the class.

I've taken a few classes with Dr. Vasquez. He has always been helpful and funny. I would highly recommend his collection class or his public art class. He's a sweetie and a cutie.

Comment:
He speaks soooo slowly, drags out and complicates his sentences, which causes a lot of confusion. Other than that he's actually a really nice guy, very willing to help students. You will never pronounce "origin" the same after this class ("or-IDGE-in"). His assignments are useful and we learn a lot with them.

Lots of information on his slides so it's hard to write everything down but he posted all the powerpoints online. A lot of memorization, but a fun art history class.

Comment:
Vazquez really isn't too bad. The class certainly isn't a blow off, it requires a lot of studying and memorization, and essay portions of exams are difficult to score well on. Lectures can get boring and vazquez seems kinda out there. But super nice guy and def knows his stuff!! Great class to take all things aside

Has a needlessly bad rap. Very nice guy and very intelligent. Has his own style of lecturing, but interesting once you've gotten used to it. Tests come largely from study guides.

Comment:
This class is useless. You get graded on attendance, tests, and papers. I have watched The Office on my laptop through every class, and I still have enough knowledge to get myself through the class on my own. It's not easy, but if you study hard for the exams, you never need to step foot in the classroom. Oscar is useless, dry, and boring.

Unless you're extremely interested in the material already, this professor won't do it for you. You have to really focus in on what he's saying to get anything out of class. =(

Comment:
Agree completely with the other 2 '06 comments: very disorganized, lacked coherence in most lectures because of his tangents, did not go chronological which throws most of the course off, and made a pleasant topic monotonous and extremely cumbersome. Very frustrating!

Comment:
Smart guy but loses his 112 class when he goes off on wacko tangets. Super-disorganized, had to leave class to go get a presentation on CD that he left at home. Often late, hates the concept of "chronological order". Material is interesting enough to save your grade. TAs are a godsend in deciphering his antics.

I took more than one class with this professor. He was extremely helpful. He asked us to write thesis proposals for research projects of our choice, something that is actually practical. The other ratings are written by fine art majors who think school is hard.

this is worst class ever. who the hell can follow what the professor is saying? He is impossible to understand in terms of his word choice. This course could be interesting, but the profesor makes it BORING
