Great teacher. Likes to ramble on a bit, but is funny. No due dates for papers, easy grader on tests. Highly recommend.
Had for roman medieval course. Very easy and funny teacher. Works with students who can't make deadlines. Funny lectures.
he is hilarious! just ask him.
TAKE HIM FOR ALL THE CLASSESS HE TEACHES. HE TEACHES SOME HUMANTIES AND ART HISTORY. I GOT AN "A" IN HIS CLASS. A VERY SWEET MAN. NEVER RAISES HIS VOICE OR MAKES YOU FEEL BAD. AND THERE IS A TRIP TO ITALY IF YOU MAKE IT ! I'D TAKE HIM AGAIN !
Take him for all the humanities classes. Easy A, and he is a very nie professor. He can talk for hours!!!!!!!!!! =)
It's an easy A if you can sit through his class. He babbles on and on and on. He goes off on tangents, and then tangents off of those tangents. But the exams and assignments are incredibly easy.
THIS IS A VERY OUTSTANDING TEACHER. HE IMPACTS YOU TO LOOK AT THE OVERALL PICTURE OF EVERY SITUATION, TO LOOK PAST THE UNDERTONES.THIS TEACHER HAS INSPIRED ME TO OVERCOME ALL OBSTACLES. HE COMPLIMENTS INDIVIDUALISM, WHICH CAN NOT BE GRADED ON A CURVE.FAIR
This professor has a way of getting the information to you. Loves to talk. He's hysterical when he goes on his little tangents and explains certain scenerios. Especially about Aphrodite. Good class to take, good professor. Will give you good feedback.
Good class. Great guy, he loves to talk and show slides.An essay a week isnt too bad and the final and midterms are easy. He doesnt talk to much about the text, requires you to read it.
Very easy class! He likes to talk... a lot, but has interesting things to say. I took two of his humanities classes and passed both with an A. If I had a chance I would definately take another class with him, he's awesome.
one of the best teachers i've ever had. actually remebered my name after I hadn't seen him for a year. i recomend this teacher to anyone who likes to slack. easy A, actually watched a bob marley movie in class for a week.
real easy, but people fall asleep in his class. he talks so much about basilica and italy, that i even hate italy. he likes to sneak to walmart at night, that is a fetish for him!
Very nice guy, interesting teaching method. He is kind of crazy but that makes it fun.
Very good teacher, I took almost all of his classes And past with an A!
Wow, this class is really intersting never boring , because his techniques are great, loves to talk about personal experiences..all related to the topic of course...Fun..full of energy, easy class . I recommend this class for anyone who wants to express themselves (in his exams)A all the way
Very interesting. Has alot of stories and sometimes goes off on tangents, but can always relate them back to the class.
Easy class b/c you dont have to pay attention. You do have to write a lot of papers, but he is fair in grading them. Overall he is easy and a very nica guy. No tests, just papers.
Excellent Teacher!He is very passionate about the topic and it shows in his teaching style.There are a lot of short papers to write but no chapter tests.I promise you that if you take his class you will learn so much! He is also very flexible and will answer all your questions in detail:)
Very organized and energetic professor. If we had an award for the best dressed professor, he would totally get it! He dresses like a man out of the GQ mag. If you don't like lecture classes and don't find Humanities interesting that don't take him. But overall hes a EXCELLENT teacher! 2 Thumbs UP!
Im a math and science guy but his humanitites classes are alright. He really enjoys the subject.
He makes the class interesting. Talk a lott about wall-mart(its so funny). He makes you remember the info you need for the tests.
very intellegent funny teacher. trys to humanities into the modern world so as too easily understand the topic. definetly recommend taking him
Brilliant professor, it's obvious he loves what he does.If you read the material & listen in class the tests will not be a problem.He offers a mid-term and a final(essays)-those are the only exams! Reports are required-roughly 10 in total for the semester.Funny guy,has lots to say :)was a pleasure!
very nive very easy, nothing else to say
Great professor!! I wish all my professors were as interesting and informed. Never a dull moment in his class, and I really left his class informed and still remember the information. Also a talented photographer.
YOU MUST TAKE MR.STOUT. I LOVE THIS MAN. I AM A GRADUATE STUDENT AND I AM TAKING A COURSE STILL JUST TO SEE SOME OF HIS WORK AS WELL AS TRY TO GO ON HIS ITALY TRIP !
Art with a camera. He's a very talented photographer and dedicated to helping his students develop their skills as a photographers. Stout likes to talk and can get off topic, but there is never a dull moment in his class.
I am taking two more classes with B.S. He is the greatest. He makes you want to learn, not just the subject matter at hand, but learn everything you can. He inspires you to develop your own ideas and speak your mind. I can honestly say, he is the best Professor I have encountered. Take any of his classes that you can - if you want to learn.
He is a great teacher! Don't drop his class at the beginning of the semester just because you don't understand where he's going with everything. Everything eventually comes together and he makes the class fun.
cool beans. take him!
Very very long winded at times but a great professor. He really knows his stuff! Assignments are straightforward: midterm, final and 7-8 journal entries. Takes a lot of pictures on his trips and will show them in class. Very willing to help students if they come to him. Plus he's a really nice guy. Take him!
This is the best professor I've had in my entire life. He is extremely knowledgeable and brilliant. At the same time he is very humble and nice. I wish all professors were like Mr. Stout. He is amazing
The worst teacher I've had so far at Valencia. I hate his sense of humor and he never let us out early. Would get off on these tangents that lasted like an hour and had no relevance. I felt like it was a waste of time. His pics were cool though.
Here is the honest truth.. Great teacher who is very excited about his lectures which is good. He is very fair when it comes to grading but i must admit the content was a little boring and i fell asleep a few times it might be beause he turns the lights off nearly every class but i recommend taking him.
I love this teacher, he is an mazing, intellegent man. I enjoyed his class very much.I wish i could take him again, wonderful and humble man.
My first class in the morning and he is wired, don't know how many cups of coffee he has b/f class, it's hard to fall asleep in his class, cause he doesnt stop talking. He has great photos, very smart, funny he is fair on grading and very helpful. I would take him for other humanities.
Awesome class...20th Century Humanities. He has surprises in his class that isn't on his syllabus. Really cool guy. Awesome experience. I would highly recommend him.
Omg, this man talks my ears off! If you love to hear a professor get off topic and talk a mile a minute about unrelated stories with dramatic gestures, take him.
GREATTTTT Professor. He really teaches and what he teaches, that what you are asked about on the exams. He loves his work and that's great. I am an International Student and we pay high tuitions but I must say, I got more than my money's worth. He has great photos, has European trips for Spring Break, Summer, etc.
OMG, super boring class for me. He loves to talk, talk, talk and gets off topic all the time. Very nice professor though and the class is super easy, you can get an A if you dont die of boredum. DONT buy the text, I never even used it and I got an 'A'.
I'm the type who likes to get and information and leave....this professor, oh my.get ready to hear him talk until his voice cracks. he's super nice and REALLY easy. GREAT PICTURES and in a weird way is funny. so take him, but do a magazine while your at too.
I didn't get it, but i know he is a very smart man and knows a lot about life and the things people do not normally pay attention too.
Prof. Stout means well. He talks very abstract and out of the box. However, he's not a bad teacher. A lot of ppl disrespect him and act like he knows nothing but he's quite knowledgeable. He just needs to work on staying ontopic. If he conveys his lectures along with the material better, he'd be a real hit with the students.
B.S. is great! He is funny and pretty much an artistic genious. I can understand why people would get bored, but i love hearing his insight. You don't need the book, i have a high A without it..just take notes or pay attention!! Anything i've asked for or needed help on i got it. He genuinely loves his job.
stout is a great professor
Very easy class. Teacher is uh..quiet intereresting, makes corny jokes...but overall pretty easy going and nice guy. We never touched the book and its very expensive so dont buy the book unless you love art and want to use it for later interest.He never gives homework and all you have to do is write a paper and watch a slideshow in class.
Burt loves the sound of his own voice. He thinks he is a genius, and he might be right, but he goes off on a tangent and forgets what the question was in the first place. DON'T BUY THE BOOK, you will NEVER use it! He assigns very little work and is an EASY grader, but he mostly talks about stuff that is of no use when you go to write the essays.
He is an easy A but the class is boring and useless. All he does is lecture and talk about non sense that barley obtains to the material. You NEVER use the book so dont buy it! This is class was so boring, I hated going. I would sit there and do my other homework and I still passed with an A! It is an EASY A though! You dont eve have to show up!
BS loves the subjects that he teaches, he's likeable. He also takes TONS of pictures and loves sharing them with his classes.. even if that means keeping students late! Don't expect to get out early, he just has too much to say/share. It's not hard to get a good grade but it's really hard to stay focused! Over all this class is pretty boring.
I love this man. He is so passionate and so knowledgible about the stuff he teaches. For him he's not really teaching for grades but he's sharing a passion of his with his students by telling the stories and showing all of his original photography that is very relevent to the course. He thinks he is a genius and I think in a way he is.=] Take it!!!
He is a really good professor with tons of "nuclear ideas to share in class"!!read them!! he loves to hear feedback or comment about his ideas.He will show many of his pix in class and if you r like a movie by the end of the semester!take this class with mr. stout,you will learn mucho.
Well, I must admit he is a great teacher. You will learn alot in his class. As long you stay on top of your work, you will get an A! This class was like a walk on the beach.
Very easy A ! No need to buy the book.
No need to buy the book. Class was EXTREMELY frustrating. All he does is show pictures he took in Europe and goes on and on about his "nuclear ideas" which are basically just his random thoughts (which he charges you for!) about politics, environmentalism (he hates it), and men vs. women. Only grades were from essays. Easy A if youre a good writer.
Extremely easy class! Don't really need the book, and he can ramble. Gives you "nuclear ideas" which are very easy to understand, and can help you with your papers for Gordon rule classes. He likes it when you use it as a reference, and he does ramble a bit in class. He's pretty laid back. Easy A. Had him for ART 2930C, HUM 2234, and HUM 1020.
The professor is easy going and quite eccentric. You'll pass this class if you're a good listener and have a proficency with writing essays.
Great professor. Very easy going. His class get a little borrowing sometimes. Overall its a great class. Just write your papers and you will pass. Your grade consist of 4 papers out of class and 2 papers in class. Easy "A" if you put any effort.
The most memorable thing about him is his view on Nelly's "Tip Drill" song. It is ROFL funny.
He talks more about himself than teaching, but into the semester you do learn about other things not related to the lesson, which is ok. Dont take this for a full semester, take it in the summer.easy class, but gotta write short essays..take him not that bad.
Burt Stout is an awesome prof ..he makes art history and humanities very fun to learn.
Class is an easy A. He talks too much and really goes off subject all the time but if you are a good essay writer you will make a good grade in this class. If you like to voice your opinion in class do not take this class as he will not let you get a word in edgewise.
OMGGGGG he is the best teacher ever.... do your papersss and you will get and A in the course even tho.. you dont do good on them
U r going to think he is a total mental case. He's NUTS!He really likes attention.He talks about his book alot which is ridiculous dont buy it no matter how much he tells u to. YOU LEARN NOTHING OF HUMANTITES!! I heard he's a good camera teacher tho. He says he never looks at this site, but i know ur watching mr stout..BUT he grades EASY!
This class was ridiculous. I learned more about prof. Stout and his feelings than I learned about art, music, culture, or anything related to humanities. The good days were when we'd listen to music for a few hours or we watched an old movie. It was painful to listen to him lecture and talk to his imaginary friends day after day. Easy A.
I LOVE HIM lol Easy class and he is so funny and deff. very smart man. He wrote a book :) I'm taking all my HUM credits with him, you should do the same.
He's nice n fun teacher. His class is easy. I recommend u take his class!
I recommend u take his class! Easy class
This was one of my favortite classes. Burt's rants are the best. Don't tune him out though, you'll actually need the information for the tests. Overall it's an incredibly easy class and he's hilarious to listen to. Take his class is you have the chance.
his class is beyond boring, make sure you take it with a friend. the whole class time he is ranting abut nothing that has to do with the class and he tries to be funny but he is not. all you have to do is write four papers, write for the midterm and final. he is a boring teacher but you will get an A.
So boring! This class doesnt really make any sense and his lectures are so hard to follow. Its an incredibly easy class but again, its so boring! You have a total of 3000 words that you need to write (can be broken up into 3 1000 word papers for example) and there is no turn in date for them. He does have an attendance policy so u have to show up
Boring pointless easy A.
Rambles alot but really nice guy. Knows alot of interesting details. Tests are easy just pay attention to what he says and its exactly what the tests will be about. Lenient on attendance and tardiness.
i took art w/ a camera 1 & 2 with him, he is very insightful and knows alot about the subject matter, its a VERY fun class and i would highly reccomened it!! :D
Prof Stout is an interesting man. He knows A LOT of information on everything. I literally mean EVERYTHING and he will relentlessly talk about them. You will never ever read the book, but he will ask a lot about the one he wrote. He quotes himself... a lot. Good guy though
He is an awesome professor I took him during the summer for HUM 20th Century & HUM Greek/Roman and he was awesome. He is Very interesting and smart. Its a easy A. You don't use the book at all; but he wrote the book so its very interesting but don't need it for class.
THE BEST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD. HE IS A VERY WISE PERSON, AND WILLING TO SHARE ALL HIS KNOWLEDGE. HIS TEST ARE VERY STRAIGHT-FORWARD. IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ONE OF HIS CLASSES, DO NOT DOUBT IT!!!!!
There are no due dates on his papers so U can turn them in when ever you want to. He tells jokes, some are funny, many aren't. You have to go to class to pass. An "A" is possible!
the best teacher ever.... really easy class. dont need the book for nothing only hes own book... you would get an A
Took him for 20th Century Hum. And really, all you have to do is pay attention if you can. He does just ramble on but a lot of things he says, are interesting. The essays are due whenever and he gives you about 200 topics and you only need 10 so you have a lot of options.
I took intro to HUM from him. it took a minute to figure him out. Buy his nuclear ideas book and when possible write about on of them on your essays and you will do fine. he does have a unique sense of humor he is a rather plesant little dude or was that dudette ? those that have taken his class will understand that last comment good for GPA
Nice guy, but brace yourself to endure ramblings every class. He will go on & on and it doesnt matter if the class is dead silent. He likes discussion, but sometimes addresses the entire class like we are all 18 year olds. Hold off on buying his nuclear ideas (its his book with topics) he will give you topics in class anyway. Dudes and dudettes!
He was a fun teacher. Would recommend him to other students. All You have to do is write a few papers to pass the class.
Prof. Stout is AWESOME! I've taken all of my humanities classes with him. If your learning method is reading textbooks & answering questions, THIS CLASS ISN'T FOR YOU. He makes you think outside the box, he talks alot, and he's very smart. You mostly write a few papers and the test are easy too. It's an easy A, i dont see how anyone can fail.
I really liked him, he's a good guy a little kooky but fun and interesting as well. Extremely enjoyable class!
I love professor Stout! He talks a lot, and some things are unrelated to the course or seem unrelated but he is funny. And sometimes he talks to get you thinking outside the box that is related to the course. Even his "nuclear ideas" may seem silly but just show him respect because he has a lot of wisdom and he deserves it!
TAKE PROFESSOR STOUT FOR ALL HUMANITIES CLASSES! He's a good professor, likes to talk A LOT, and tends to go off subject, but definitely worth it, EASY A! Gives you over 200 topics to choose from, but you only need 10, if that, and always use a quote from his nuclear ideas book, and you'll be sure to get extra points for that dudes&dudettes! :)
TAKE HIM. his great..he seems to go of topic a lot but its well worth it. easy A.. He gives you over 40 topics to choose from and you only need 5 to 10. hi funny and make the class interested. after taking his class, i start watching all the greek and romans movies. haha Take him dude and dudets..you'll know what i'm talking about when you take him
Professor Stout is a great teacher. He lectures during his class and has very good insight. Depending on the person, you may or may not like his sense of humor and sarcasm. As long as your assignments, you will be fine.
Burt Stout is an interesting man and a perfect professor. This course informative and eye-opening. There were only four required papers and two exams. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND
Prof Stout is a really smart guy. He wrote his own book and knows his stuff. Def buy and use both books, especially Nuclear Ideas. He makes a lot of good points. His lectures are long but pay attention. You may or maynot enjoy his humor, but he makes the subject interesting. Only a few papers and tests. Not hard at all to get thro. Def take him.
SImply one of the best professors at Valencia. Explains his points through other thoughts and attracts anyones attention. He is a super good teacher that will teach you anything even thought you are not willing to get it. Super recommended and I am already registered in 3 other classes with him. SUPER GREAT JOB!
His teaching technique is extremely brainstorming/scattered. It's not spoon-feeding like some classes can be, but at the same time he got off track so much and I really feel like I know nothing about Greek and Roman humanities after taking his class. His humor is not really that of most college students either lol. Don't recommend at all.
It's an easy to pass class, but wow, what an infuriating waste of time if you actually wanted to learn. Textbook is written by him, required, and a HUGE waste of money. Essays are graded so easily a monkey could pass. He just rambles the entire period. Don't ask questions - took him 45 minutes to answer a question about word min. for essay once.
If you want an easy A then take this class. You're only graded on essays which are super easy, no format or anything. The guy just rambles on and on about absolutely nothing so don't ask him to explain ANYTHING. Also, don't get his book, I haven't even taken it out of the bag I bought it in, waste of money.
The first thing I want to say is that if he tells you that you need books and one of them is a book that he wrote, then don't believe him I bought the 2 $80 books for his class, and opened only one of them (and only one time). This class is very easy, mainly because we did NO work what so ever. its an easy "A", but don't expect to learn anything.
Very disrespectful teacher, doesn't have any empathy with students. If you want an A however, do take him. You wont learn anything in his class except for his obsession with calling his students dudes and dudettes, or calling us all his "campers". Most definitely a weird teacher.
This professor is amazing! Love his lectures! He is very smart! His book is good and useful for writing essays. There are just essays and maybe one assignment per semester. Great class to take! recommended extremely! Take Take Take! I have taken 3 of his classes!!
ATTETION DUDES AND DUDETTES! This is definitely a class worth taking. I never bought the book for the class, but I wish could have found Nuclear Ideas (the book in the dumpster) Just do the essays which have interesting topics and you will passed. The exams are pretty easy. Its an all writing class but easy trust me I HATE WRITING! AND I GOT AN A!
This professor made the class very interesting, you will not regret any moment in his class. The topic he lecture on always relates to everyday life. Even though it's a humanity, he do a great job related to our reality. All you have to do is do his assignments and you will pass the class.
Professor Stout is a great teacher.
