He killed art history for me. A horrible, cocky man who plays favorites with students and looks down on others.

Albert made my first semester here very stressful. He is very difficult. If you review for this tests, you'll be fine, but the problem with that is he gives so much readings and information that it is hard to take in. He expects you to memories over 70 paintings and know the artist and date but only ten appear on the test. Aggravating!

Prof. Reischuck requires a large amount of background information going into the course. I took this as a Kent Core class and I really regret it. His pop quizzes are almost impossible and he expects you to spend a minimum of 25 hours on the final paper which is rediculous.

Reischuck is an entertaining lecturer, and made Art History interesting. I liked him overall, however there is so much information to learn. By the end of the semester we had "lost lectures" we had to watch online in order to get all the information needed for the final. I wish it was condensed even more. I would take him again.

Prof Reischuck is a good professor. He is an entertaining lecturer (he likes including memes in lecture slides). It is definitely not an easy A. There is a homework assignment and a quiz due every week and the exams are difficult. However, there are many extra credit opportunities. You have to get the textbook either online or a paper version.

Very simple. First 3 classes are explaining the syllabus. He has a slide where he states that attendance is not mandatory. Buuuut, you can still get an A if you attend zero classes and get perfect scores on all exams and do the extra credit. I did this and got an A, so I wonder if he now has an asterisk on that slide or uses it as a scare tactic.

This guy. He teases on the first day that attendance is "mandatory," but that it's only 15% of your grade. So if you ace every test and do the extra credit, you can get an A without ever stepping foot in his class again. But he said it's never happened. So being in a hard major, I could live with a B.
