You can't have an easier class. it is impossible to get lower than an A in this class. haggerty is a jolly old man that reminds you of santa clause. Very amusing, funny and easy. can't go wrong with this one. GREAT CHOICE!
Jolly 'ol bean. Cleverly titles this class "Art Appreciation" as opposed to Art History, and he does just that! The guy is great at what he does, and its easy to score an A. You cannot pick a better professor for this course, this guy is the BES
He is the best art professor in Brooklyn college. His lectures are very funny and interesting.+ weekend courses. I recommend him to you.
easy but boring
No Comments
Best teacher I ever had.
This professor is the best professor i have encountered in all the cores i have taken. He makes life easy for you and at the same time if you are willing to learn his lectures are just full of usefull and interesting information. Definitely take him
In this course you can get an easy A. you better do drawings because it will give you extra credits. His classes are not bad and you have to visit all of them.
class is boring but you don't have to attend. There is no work involved at all.I didn't do more than 3 sketches and still got an A. He gives the class an option to have a midterm or not and gives away the answers on his multiple choice test. EASY A!
boring class but you don't have to go- no attendence, just make a nice sketchbook, you'll be fine, I guess the exam- only one, still got an A
One of the sweetest and most interesting people you'll ever meet. He is very helpful. The class is always interesting. I wish all professors were like him.
BORING BUT A PRETTY EASY CLASS
Professor Haggerty is the nicest art professor there is and he makes the class easy to pass. He's very easygoing about coming to class on any day that he is teaching even if you're not in that section. You'll love this professor.
one of the great professor that brooklyn college have.very easy.if u come to the class very often and come in on the review day and final,u r fine. man with a nice heart.every one should take him.easy A
listen in class and read his notes and you get an A. If you know how to draw he will give you about 20 extra points to your final grade. No reports but a little boring.
An easy A. Draw about 20 pictures in a scetch book an you'll get extra 20 points towards your final grade.
simply GREAT!
Interesting teacher for art history. He makes you really appreciate art and I really learned a lot in his class. His final is easy and if you sketch you get extra credit. DEFINATELY take him for this class.
ART WAS A SUBJECT I ALWAYS FEARED. NOT ONLY COULD I NOT DRAW A STICK FIGURE, BUT I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT ART AS A WHOLE. PROF. HAGGERTY CHANGED THAT. HE IS WONDERFUL! NOT ONLY DID I LEARN ABOUT WORLD FAMOUS ARTIST, BUT I NOW LOVE TO DRAW, EVEN DECIDING TO SIGN UP FOR FUTURE ART CLASSES. HE'S GREAT!
I have to admit, I took this class only because I had to; I didn't love it BUT at least he made it tolerable. He got us a little worked up about the final exam, but in the end it wasn't so bad. I have no idea if I passed or failed the final, but I got a B+ for a grade. Turn in those sketchbooks!!!
If u get a chance, u should definitely take him...very easy going, gives out handouts that basically have the answers to the final exam-hand in ur sketchbook. if u do a decent job he gives u all the points. if u wanna score extra points try using some techniques from his class.
Great! Covers a lot in an easy manner, makes learning about famous artists fun and memorable. I was so afraid to take this course - to have to memorize slides etc... No problem - he wants all students to succeed, if you pay attention you will do great. I hope he teaches more art classes in future!
Professor haggerty isnt a mean but professor but his grading technique sucks he dont take attendence and he dont give a midterm to evaluate your progress meaning you could attend class every session and participate in handing in sketches but if you fail the final the only test he gives to show your progress you will the fail course automatically
BRILLIANT, SWEET, FUNNY, RELAXED, VERY FUNNY. respect him and he will be so appreciative. Study for the final and you will be fine- no other work over the rest of semester! Attend class though or have a friend who takes damn good notes. Write down the name of each painting he shows you next to your notes about it,
Professor Haggerty isn't that hard but his grading technique is off because there is no midterm or no other test given to evaluate how u are doing in the class and if you are a devoted student who attends class but can't quite understand or remember the boring art sketches that he gives u will fail his class he doesn't consider anything u will fail
One of the best professors at Brooklyn College, really helpful, only one test the whole semester, and the optional sketchbook gets you as much as 30 points on that grade! so to get an A all you need on the final is a 60 and a good sketch book. and his final is all from the class notes he gives out!!!
This class is VERY easy - you dont have to show up to class, all you have to do is draw up to 24 pictures in the sketchbook (i did it in 2 days)to get btwn 15-30 extra pts, and study the 11 pages of notes (that HE gives out) for the final. Study those notes well enough and with the 15-30 extra points you should get an A!
Professor haggerty is an intellingent teacher he knows everything about art. It's a good class if you don't know anything and you are just getting started. He's grades technique are fare. You have to work hard on your sketch books and take the midterm.
He is a very nice guy, but virtually no one has spoken during the entire class... he seems to be used to lecturing, and not used to engaging students in conversation during class. He is very knowledgeable, makes the material interesting, and seems to be very good natured. Just hand in your sketchbook and study his handouts, and you should be set
Really great professor. He's super chilled, very clear and knowlegdeable. All he wants is for you to develop a sincere appreciation for art - and that's what I did. I found the class intriguing and I picked up drawing as a new hobby while in the class. Just study his handouts and spend time drawing, you'll get an A fa sho.
He is very nice, but his grading methods are horrible. Only a final that's it. No midterm NOTHING! Final is multiple choices with A-I as choices, not like normal professors do it A-D. DONT TAKE HIS CLASS. SAVE YOUR MONEY.
Take him and you will get an A. All you have to do is have a nice sketch book. You only have a final. Even if you manage a 70 on the Final you will get an A
This man knows his stuff. He is well informed, well prepared and figured out a system to make this a fantastic class. You are allowed to DRAW! and you get credit for it. What more do you want? BUT: Sit in the front, because the AC noise is very disturbing and you will be able to focus better on his lecture. Bring coffe, sit back and enjoy the ride!
He is great!All this guy does is talk about the material which he gives you in his 14 page review.He doesnt take attendence and even gives you a practice test which is VERY similiar to his final.You're allowed to draw for extra credit to your gade. He says he gives up to 30 pts but he gave me 48! Try to copy pictures from the musuem & use color.
Awesome professor..not good for a early morning since the whole class is with lights off while he talks through slides. Final + sketchbook for extra credit...very funny guy if you like seinfeld
Best Prof. in BC. i loved his class, didnt really have to show up to class, but when i did it was very enjoyable. he got me to really enjoy art, now i frequent places like the MET, and other art galleries around NYC and abroad. Gave me 25 points on my final to do a sketch book. there is only a final and it is strait from the notes he gives out .
Boring slide after slide after slide..please think of something just alittle more creative you are an art teacher ...2 much info for a damn core art
Nice prof. very easygoing.... final is ridiculous, multiple choice, A-j!! How in the world are you supposed to get an A on an exam like that. Sketchbook, no papers... as long as you show some interest and creativity, you're good
One of the best professors at BC. No attendance, no papers, no homework. Just draw in your sketchbook and the final is easy if you study. The class is very interesting and I learned a lot. I also picked up drawing as a hobby. Very rewarding class. He gave me an A+.
Great professor! Loved his classes, enjoyed his lectures. He gives you a lot of helpful information before a final exam. Yet we didn't have a middterm exam. He wants you to draw a scetchbook and gives you some poits for it. It was an interesing expericence for me (coz i never drew before). Recommended :)
really easy as everyone knows by now. as long as you show some effort (even if you NEVER come to class) he will give you an A
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat professor!!! Very helpful, willing to stay after class to help you. Very interesting material and genuinely loves to teach. I think he would teach for free.
Excellent professor.Easy A. He wont take any quizes or any assignmnets. Only finals and the art book. I got A although I dint at all worked hard or studied for his class. Just read the review sheet he give you beafore final and you will surely get an A. And the good thing is he never take attendance.
do not have to go to any clasess except for first, one in the middle, and the last. Hes very nice but extremly booring. He hands out alot of notes, and a drawing assignment as part of the finale. Dont just doodle work on it and you will do fine. Do study for the finale from the handouts and you will do fine.
He is really greate professor , i did not miss any class and it was very interesting for me ,i realize that i can draw. My drawing helped me in final and gave me A+. u don't have to buy any book .He gives perfect explanation .I would be very happy to have professors like he is!!!!
JUST A FINAL AND A DRWAIGN ASSIGNMENT, READ HIS NOTES BEFORE THE FINAL AND STUDY THE PRACTICE TEST AND YOU WILL GET AN A++
the class is really boring if you go veryday. he just shows slides. but yeah you can get an easy A. do the art book. that will help a million. do not wait till the last day to start you sketch book. effort counts. study notes, be there for the final review. you will do well
he's the easieat professor i had since my presence in BC. He makes everyone buy a sketch book and you have to do like 8-10 drawings/paintings/or wutever you want 2 make. Dont be scared, you dont even have to know how to draw, but just make ur skech book look like you worked hard in it. says he'd give 1 midterm and final, but ONLY GIVES THE FINAL!!!
This class feels like punishment..it does not get any more boring than this..he talks talks talks and shows slides like anyone really knows this much about art in a core class...the best thing is you dont have 2 show up he doesnt take attendance
Oh my god. Can my life be any worse??? I have ZERO drawing ability! and my grade will be based on drawings? i cant draw a straight line...his should be fired for having this ridiculous requirements. Im dropping. DONT TAKE HIM, though he looks sweet.
he is a really nice professor, i'm taking his class now and i love to draw! he is so funny and sweet. If you want to draw, this core class is the one that you should take and specially with prof. Haggerty.
the drawing part isn part of the grade you IDIOTS! IT'S EXTRA CREDIT-WORTH AN EXTRA 20 POINTS TOWARDS YOUR FINAL GRADE! HAGGERTY ROCKS.
He is the best profesor for art. I looove his class and enjoy each drawing I made in my sketchbook. You don't have to be an artist. He appreciates what you draw. Its NOT true that your grade is based on the drawings. He have a lot of knowledge and likes what he does!!!
Haggerty is extremely smart & amicable. Available when I needed him. Final was tough, but we had 23 extra points to work with and up to 25 extra credit points with the sketch books. He gives you all the notes to boot and you can attend any of his 3 classes. Just don’t talk during class.
Excellent teacher. If you draw a lot and try to do it your best, you will get big bonus on your sketchbook! He tells he will give up to 25 credits, but sometimes he gave 40 and even more. And the exam was so easy!
Took the Core on advice of friends- they couldn't have been more right. I took it on Sundays and walked in three times plus final. Each time, I left after 20 minutes. There was no midterm and I did not do the EC sketchbook, I came for the review, took the notes he gave and studied night before. Got an A.
he makes it practically impossible to fail or even get anything below an A for the class. he gives you the syllabus and it has all the notes required for the exam, no point in even showing up to class. He didnt give a mid-term and there are 150 possible points to earn towards your grade, so easy.
Haggerty is the BEST! You can't possibly fail this course and you'll actually learn something too while you're at it. No textbook, he just gives a print out every class and a packet. His review for the final is helpful especially cuz he gives a practice test (exactly like the real test so don't miss it!)Do yourself a favor and... TAKE IT!!
He is very helpful, kinda funny. Took him for CC 1.2, He knows his stuff, very intelligent. Sketchbook extra credit. NO MIDTERM!!! ONLY FINAL!! which was good! I enjoyed his class, he could be a bit boring, but overall good prof. I would recommend him
HE'S GREAT!!..HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING AND LOVES WHAT HE DOES!..HE REALLY CARE ABOUT U LEARNING ABOUT ART AND NOT ABOUT HOW GOOD U ARE MEMORIZING INFO!!..HE'S JUST AWESOME..MADE ME LIKE ART AGAIN!!
He is the easiest professor among all CC 1.2. No midterm, only final. sketchbook as extra credit with 10-20 art works. No textbook. Sunday/Saturday classes. Long and boring but easy. No attendance needed so u may only attend the first day and final exam. Remember memorize all 12 pages notes or u can't get A. Take him and u have no regret.
Easy A)) You just need to draw some pics and go to final exam) learn handouts thats all what you need, and you should do great!))
Dude I can't believe I passed his class? DO THE SKETCHBOOK, and memorize the note packet for the final exam, and thats all u need to do to get a great grade, don't waste ure time showing up except to pick up the notes at the begining of the semester and the practice exam at the end of the semester!
I came to class only twice. Did horrible on the final. Did my sketchbook and came out with an A-
I LOVE THIS MAN .. i actually went to all of the lectures and i learned SO much. he's such a funny guy, and he presents his own artwork to the class, which are really delicate. he also shares random anecdotes about his life and how he mentored some of the greatest artists in the world back when he taught in cali. LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM!
very interesting class. must take him!!!!!!!!! i enjoyed alot!
He is a great writer, artist and teacher. I couldn't realise that knowledge that I got from his class could be so fascinating and enjoyable. I wish all students have a chance to experience his teaching.
There's nothing I can say here that wasn't said already. I never went. And thank heaven I dnd't have to because 3 hours of looking at slides is the last thing I'd ever want to do. Final you need to study the notes well. I ended with a B+ can't complain.
Great prof. Enjoyed his class.
Nice guy willing to help you. No papers just have to draw in a book. Thats worth 25pts. He gave me a 30! (And I didnt start it until the night before it was due)... His final is HARD! 60Q MC 10 pos. answers for each question.
do urself a favor take him. great sense of humor, interesting. will learn to draw even if u couldnt draw a straight line before
Extremely GREAT Professor. You will learn to appreciate art after taking his class
Attendance is not mandatory, but go to class anyways. I am so disappointed that I realized halfway through the semester that I enjoyed his lectures so much and that attending his class was actually fun. He loves art and he truly tries to impart that love onto his students. He is a wonderful man and a great professor!
TAKE HIM. HE is the first core teacher that understands that there is no need to make a class super hard in order to get the students to take it seriously All you have to do is show up the first day and take the yellow packet very important everything you need to know is in there Do super good in your sketch book, that is all he really cares about!
Not as easy as everyone says. Final is hard, only got a B+ from him. Not such an easy A! Work on the sketchbook and the grade you get on that will be added onto your final which will become your final grade.
Yes, that is true. He's not as easy as everyone says. I thought I just got a B, and I did well on the sketch book.
Yes, that is true. He's not as easy as everyone says. I thought I would get an A , but i just got a B, and I did well on the sketch book
I would highly recommend him! You don't have to do an essay, just draw/sketch. There isn't a minimum number of drawings required, just make sure you spend an amount of time drawing them. Make sure also that you get that yellow packet (study from it), and attend those 3 classes before the final.. You'll do fine, and perhaps get an A.
Very laid back class. I would recommend Haggerty. He knows his stuff and makes it easy to get a good grade and still get something out of the class.
True professor is great. exam is the hardest one I've had so far. Went to every lecture, went to museum, studied before the exam and did well on my scetch book. Got C+. exam is impossible to guess, you either know it or you don't.
take himmm
It is true Haggerty is a wonderful man, extremely smart very relaxed and helpful, no papers, no midterm what more can one ask for. hate to upset your balance but the final is a killer especially if you decided to study last minute... this class is the lie that tells the truth..... take him.
He is not nearly as easy as anyone says. He doesnt care about attendance. but the final is VERY HARD. The questions all have 10 answers to each question. You can't really guess. The sketchbook is worth 25 points, but you gotta work real hard on it. He is a nice guy, but you gotta study for the final. It is as simple as that.
He is by far the worse and hardest professor ever! for such a class attendance is not required but if you miss the class you wont know nothing the final is extremely hard and he has 4 proctors watching to make sure you don't cheat. The drawings he tells you do your best and when you do he fails you its either you do everything he wants or you fail.
THE WORSEEEEE!!!!!!!! RUNNN FOR YOUR LIFEEEEE
OMG I AGREE HE IS TERRIBLE! That was the worst class ever i wish i would have dropped it from day one!
The lectures are bad - too long, too dark and too uninteresting. He knows his stuff, though. Class doesn't require much work, but the final is a killer! 60 question, each with 10 options. Thank goodness there is that sketch book that gives 25 points, since no other grading used the whole semester. Attendance is up to you, but recommended..
he is an easy prof.Love to take him.If you want to get an A just take him and be regular in his class
very nice professor. I took his class during intersection, worked hard on sketchbook, got 48 credits out of 25 max. don't prepared for the final exam and got A. everything he worried about it's sketchbook. if you will get more then 25 points you will be fine even if you don't know the material very well. so take him and work hard on sketchbook
The lectures are too long, too dark and uninteresting. But Professor has a good personality. For test you should do sketchbook it will help a lot. He doesn?t care about attendance. Learn notes which he gives you with syllabus.
no hw, no midterm. just a sketch book and a final. very laid back prof. reminded me of those 80s hippies.
Very nice easy-going personality.There is a sketch book you have to work on, about 25 drawings (however quality counts, not quantity). I did 15 drawings and got 46 pts out of 25 towards final grade, considering the fact that I haven't been drawing since I was 12.Know the syllabus from the back of your head, it will be on final. NO need to buy book!
Two words:THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Party's over everyone. I just took the final and it is a toughie. If all you did was study the syllabus and handouts on the first day of class and never attended, the best you will do is a C. The sketchbook is what will save your ***. Force yourself to do a least a dozen QUALITY sketches and you will get a least a B. Best Art Professor on Campus!
very sweet professor, explains clearly and appreciates your hard work. Make sure u have at least 10 drawings and attend every class just not to miss important info. I bought the book for this class but now I regret as I have not even opened it once. Everything you need pretty much u can find online, so don't waste your money and just Google.
He was the most Amazing professor ever! So clear, and fun and easy to get a good grade from I recommend him all the way!!
Sketchbook is everything, i only did 6 drawings from the slides, and 4 of my own and i got 38 out of the 25 points needed (Means extra), just attending to class and reading the handouts, you should easily get a B and above. Takes time and effort but it is a super fair class. Sketchbook is your everything and he gives easy extra credit a MUST Take.
This guy is really good. I can't draw, or at least I thought I didn't know how to. I managed to get a 32/25 on the sketchbook and I'm a physics dude! Even though attendance isn't mandatory, attend the classes. It'll help for the killer final. It was such a great experience just listening. Loved the course even though I ain't an art guy.
THE BEST PROFESSOR
Haggerty is awesome!!! Take him if you can. Sketchbook extra points will help you a lot on the final test and even attendance is not mandatory it will help on the final.
The best professor. Do the sketchbook, try to go on his classes because it will be very helpful on final. And no modterms just final.
He is a cool professor. Do the sketchbook, because it will probably save you. The test is really tough. If he gives out extra credit assignments then do them if you really want an A.
Haggerty is a very kind and genuine man. He is the kind of person you wish there were more of.
If you like the subject, you'll definitely enjoy this class (otherwise, it's kind of a slow one)! Haggerty has a passion for the subject and will keep you interested. Do the sketchbook because it's a big lifesaver. No midterm, final can be kind of tough so make sure you attend class. Not a bad class at all!
hes soo easy! attendance is not mandatory although it deff helps to go to class, no midterm no quizzes, justs a sketchbook and a final your basiclly guaranteed an A take him
OMG! This professor is so easy! I took hom over the winter, and I don't regret. I am in ACCT major,so I thought that I would hate it. But after his class I realized that I liked it so much. I couldn't even think that I can draw so great. I got 50 points for a sketchbook(max.was 25). Do sketchbook! It will safe u on the final because it tough.
Amazing! I had such a great experience taking professor Haggerty's art history course! it was extremely interesting and enjoyable! If you attend class every day, study all the topics included in the 15 pages of yellow notes that he gives out and work hard on your sketchbook, you will get an A! i highly recommend this class to everyone
Found it easy although the final has more to do with the artists than the art. Spend time on your sketchbook, ask for tips on it, USE COLOR, and you'll get 50 points for that. The class was impossibly boring, BUT, it really helps to go to class. I would recommend it because it's easy, but be ready to be bored.
He is easy, you don't have to write any essays,easy final
He's very passionate about art! he shows hundreds of slideshows so it gets pretty boring but at least he tries his best to make it interesting by throwing in some jokes here and there as he shows them. It's a very boring class but easy class. Not much work except memorizing some artists and vocabulary words.
Very fair Proffesor. If you do the sketchbook fairly well and study a fair amount for the final you shouldn't get less than a B. offers extra credit and doesen't take attendance. great experience in the class considering im not an art major this was the perfect way to get through art history with least stress possible.
Great professor! Take him. & do the sketchbook, study his 16 pages of notes and you will be fine. Easy class
BEST PROFESSOR AT BC! DO YOUR SKETCH BOOK AND YOULL BE FINE MY DRAWING WERE SO STUPID AND UGLY AND I GOT 50 POINTS EXTRA CREDIT FOR USING COLORS ONLY AND I WOULD DRAW A TREE AND IT'D LOOK SO MESSED UP AND WHEN I SHOW HIM HE GOES NO I SEE A BIRD THERE U DID GOOD HE'S SO NICE
Incredibly easy. There's a max of 150+ points and all you need is a 95 to get an A. Take this course you won't regret it
He is a really nice teacher! His lectures are long but he throws in jokes to make it interesting. Make sure you do your sketchbook. He give you ample amount of points to try and get an A. Definitely recommend taking him.
He's great ! Your sketch book is a HUGE part of your grade so put the effort into that. Study his syllabus and you'll get A. I personally didn't even open the syllabus and I still got an A. Write notes , even if you think the information won't be useful it will be on the final. And he's super nice and so passionate about art .
Haggerty is an ok professor, but his lectures are long and not very interesting. He tries to throw in a few jokes to make it better, but it doesn't really work. he doesn't take attendance so you don't have to show up. He gives a packet of notes so you have most of the info and the sketchbook is a big part of the grade.
Professor Haggerty is a great guy who is extremely passionate and knowledgable about Art. There are only three aspects to your final grade. A few attendance writing prompts graded for effort, the sketchbook, and the final exam. If you do extra drawings in the sketchbook in color you will receive considerable extra credit. Easy A.
his class was easy but extremely boring. There were no papers or exams just a final which was really hard and everyone most likely fails so you're better doing all your drawings because he grades them on a big amount he says 25 points but you could earn 50 percent from that so make sure you have all sketches and atleast one colored one
Professor haggerty is a good professor His lectures are long and boring. Very repetitive but sketchbook is a big part of your grade. Make sure to fill it up and make colored drawings. His final is very tough but if you attend the last few classes before final it can make a big difference to your final and help you pass.
The lectures were quite boring. Most of your grade is based off the sketchbook, so make sure it reflects a lot of time put into it.
if you don't mind having one exam at the end of the semester take him. the final was hard but manageable. he makes you keep a sketch book that he grades on effort. he's really old so hard to understand but he's really nice and wants his students to do well
