he is a kool dude. we like him very much

Naymark is the easiest art history teacher there is. in the upper level courses there is very little work..the midterm is a simple summery of like 4 chapters of a text book. the accent is hard to understand but he is still very awsome.

Only slackers don't like him. His class is great if you actually want to learn about Art History. He will make you participate. His accent isn't that tough if you just listen. He knows his stuff so well he quotes exact dates without notes.

He is a book of knowledge...If you want to learn about art history he is the man to take. His classes aren't stressful and if you payattention you will do well. Pick his brain b/c he is very interesting and knowledgeable

easy class, he's a really nice guy. kinda hard to understand him. you can learn alot if you want to or nothing if you don't. its yer call but he is a great guy.

OMG what is wrong with you people? Naymark is a GREAT teacher. He teaches the material very well. His accent is barely noticable. And he allows you to retake ALL of his exams. Whats there NOT to like? Easy A and you actually learn something. A+

just cheat! that's how we all got by! Cheat! Proud to be part of the Hofstra slackers!

how did this guy get rated average? he's awesome! the only reason some people have trouble understanding is cuz of the russian accent, and you get used to it pretty fast. he really knows what he's talking about and has of experience.

One of the best teachers at Hofstra! I cant believe that he only has an average rating. It's probably because 1/2 the people never even show up to class, so obviously they fail the tests and are unhappy. He knows his stuff like the back of his hand, you actually learn a lot and its easy if you come to class and review his study guides B4 the tests.

Prof. Naymark is the best Art History prof. Hofstra has. I took his Asian Art class and learned a lot. He is very helpful and always can be found on campus. He also gives great letters of rec's.

On the first day of class, he let all of us know the class was not an easy A. The next day half the class no longer attended. He is quite literally one of the top ten in his field. He knows his stuff, and if you give a damn and actually try, he is very helpful. And the accent is not so bad... people just like an excuse to take blame off themselves.

I enjoyed Dr. Naymark's classes. He teaches well, and you will learn a lot of interesting information. He likes to take his classes on trips to art museums. It was nice to get out of the classroom setting and to see actual art vs. just slides lectures.

naymark's the best prof i had at hofstra. easy quizzes, attendance not mandatory and interesting material.

russian badass. easy grader. makes jokes. laid back, interesting, passionate for his field.

He is an expert in mostly everything. Life, history, and art. Ask him about the hot pepper story. Knows alot about the material. Very helpful. Don't need to go to class, class is boring. Solid Papers=A

AMAZING. He is very intelligent, has a lot of experience in his field and enjoys teaching. He isn't at all condescending, which is weird for professors of his caliber. For AH majors: don't leave without taking him. All others: he's not too difficult. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you might want to keep up on readings.

very good professor, kept the material interesting. He is very passionate about his subject and helps those students that ask, isn't too concerned with the slackers. easy class, work load isn't too bad and he's pretty funny.

This guy knows everything you could possibly want to know and more. Very strong accent sometimes makes it difficult to understand what he is saying, but you will get used to it. Class is very interesting and funny, you will learn a lot if you show up.

His lectures were amazing! I find most of the students weren't there to learn, but to get an decent grade. For the few who were interested I couldn't have asked for someone else to truly spark my interest in Art, which I've never had before. So, to Prfessor Naymark. Thanks!

This was an easy class. He knows anything and everything about pre-islam and islamic art.2 Tests were to identify 10 of 15-20 slideshows he showed in class. We took a trip to Brooklyn museum which **he** gave a tour of pre-islamic art section. Take this class if you want a good grade and a relaxing class.

easyyyyyyyy class, awesome class, awesome guy. just try to stay awake. never takes attendance. only gave 2 'tests' the whole entire semeter, which he lets you re-take if you arren't happy with your grade. EASY A. highly recommend.

I liked this class a lot. It was very relaxed. Daily lectures w/slide shows. 4 exams With review sheet slide show printouts. No finals or midterms. Museum trip. Attendance not mandatory. Doesn't care about lateness. Don't buy textbook. Naymark is a good guy and is brilliant.

Liked the class, but its a bit boring. Most people slept. PP's and notes are given in class and the test are identifying "who/what/where /when/why" with 10-15 slides. 3 test. Very relaxed class. Take him. I would again, esp if you're just looking for distribution credit. Don't buy the book, just take notes.I'd take him again.

Took Islamic Art w/ him. Easy A. He might seem kinda "odd" at first, but towards then end I actually liked the class. Would def. do it again if need be. Final is a museum trip, and you could retake your quizzes! It doesn't get any better than that!

This is an amazing man. He has great stories about his life and his vast knowledge of history. For c&e he is the best.

Love this man! He is so knowledgable and he actually made C&E interesting. One of the only reasons I actually attended C&E. Loved his class and him!

Love this man, russian badass. class was boooring but was very easy! only took 2 'tests' and never got any of them back, makes you re-take them if u don't like your grade. Easy A. funny too.

Great professor, only one professor for honors college culture and expression that i didnt hate. He kept it real and knew no one read the books, not even him. He gave everone an A if they basically showed up and listened to him lecture about the history behind the books. He has two short fun assignments and a final.

I have taken him twice class and I am registered to take I'm again next semester his class is easy one to two quizzes maybe I recommend him

His class is joke if you need it for AA distrib. He doesn't take attend but gives weekly quizzes where he puts the picture on the screen asking who what where when why about five pictures, also a five page paper at the end from the MET. You don't even have to listen in class because he posts the PP for quizzes but he knows a lot. It can get boring

He is a great teacher, if you dont respect him and dont take him seriously you will fail due to your own negligence. His attendence is very much mandatory, send emails if you cant go , be attentive and raise your hand, study , he knows who doesnt care and will fail if you dont give at least 70 percent , impress him and you will be fine.

most boring class if your not interested, but you can cut class and he wont hold it against you or takes points off your average. he gave us 4 quizes of pictures . he lets you retake test n takes u to the met museum than you write an essay on it. you dont have to pay attention just get the text book and look at the blackboards n get the info

Professor Naymark was one of my favorite professors that I've had so far! His lectures can be a little boring at times, but spacing out during them doesn't mean you're going to fail the course. He's very clear on what will be on the quizzes during the semester and if you need any help studying for them, he's more than happy to help you.

I enjoyed his class. I took many of his classes. Understandable and clear, makes his lectures funny and interesting. He gives plenty of feedback and very approachable after classes, too. I recommend him to all.

Very easy class. Only had 6 quizzes based on slides in class, and those slides, one four page paper on your trip to the met, and that's it. TAKE HIS CLASS, it's an easy A

The lectures are very interesting, however, professor Naymark doesn't stick to the syllabus at all. They're easy, but you'll need to do very well on the quizzes and final since there ends up being so few assignments. You'll be tempted to skip class a lot since he doesn't take attendance but show up at least once a week so you know whats going on .

Professor Naymark is one of the most caring professors at Hofstra. He is extremely intelligent and his class is enjoyable and stress-free and he really wants everyone to do well. No homework, no tests. A few quizzes on the slides he posts and one paper. Glad I took this class

Prof Naymark is one of the BEST professors Ive had at Hofstra this far. Although his lectures can be a bit boring, his passion for the subject actually makes the class more interesting. He wants his students to do well and not feel overwhelmed. He gave 3 papers based on powerpoints. No quizzes/tests. I will definitely take him again. GREAT GUY!!

Honestly the best professor I ever had... I graduated over a decade ago and regret not having left feedback for him then because he genuinely cares about his students. Im so grateful for his attitude on teaching, and frequently hope that hes doing well. The MET should be subsidizing his pay to teach students so enthusiastically at their museum.

Phew, where to begin with Prof. Naymark. Dude is an absolute legend. Took him for Art History my senior year. Ace his quizzes and go to the museum with him and it's an A. No final, I believe it was optional. I went to his office and asked him what my grade was and he said A, so I didn't take the final. He is a genius when it comes to history! 10/10

Prof does show up late to class and grade late, but makes up for it because the lectures are informative, important stuff is revisited, and your input is encouraged. As long as you can add the info from lecture into your papers you WILL do fine. Many people admittedly did not show up or pay attention in class online themselves, yet they complain.

the easiest class taken ever. If your taking this class for the gen ed requirement don't miss out on the chance to have naymark as your professor. If ur taking AH to actually learn i would skip on naymark because he's usually just rambing all class and is usually unaware of where the class is at. Personally i loves him and I'm taking him again for

This class was an easy A. You are only graded on 4 quizzes and a take home midterm and final which are both essays. Everything you need to know you learn in class so even tho he doesn't take attendance you should still show up. He is very knowledgeable on everything he teaches and its not too boring. Would recommend him for an AH class.

A very interesting professor and a very interesting class. The subject matter isn't very hard to grasp. No textbook. Lectures are long and tedious, but he sprinkles in some funny references if you take good notes you'll be fine. Only a few quizzes and short final paper that is cumulative. Very flexible in terms of scheduling. Pretty easy overall.

Best professor to get an A, BUT his lectures are long and boring mans could talk all day. Not his fault, historical architecture isnt my cup of tea but he can be funny. Quizzes based on powerpoints he gives u to study with, take home final and midterm. BE SURE to meet with him to discuss grades cause he doesn't post anything.

His quizzes, midterm, and final are all from his lectures. If you take notes during his class while he is talking, you will have no problem doing well in his class. His lectures are filled with great information, if you have any questions he has all the answers.

Easy A. If you go to class, he does hand back stuff with grades. Papers and quizzes are based on his lectures so make yourself a friend and take turns taking notes cuz it can get boring. You can also ChatGPT beforehand but he's looking for stuff he's specifically said to be included to. Coming from a student that played games and watched Netflix.
