This guy is AWESOME! 1'st of all, you don't HAVE to read everything. I skim through the chapter than take the free online quiz which has most of the answers for the questions he uses. He has a great sense of humor and is friendly. You can't get away with missing many classes, but cmon you're paying to go to school, so go.

This teacher is the easiest teacher you will ever have. He is so funny and gave our class over 380 point of extra credit to earn. You seriously have to try and not get an A. You cant possibly not get an A unless you do nothing. The class was out of 1000pts and 750 points is an A which is really a C but an A in his class. He offers 1380pts total

Epic fail of a class. Never updates grades on time. Is very rude because when you leave him comments on the wiki, he picks and chooses the ones he wants to answer. An easy A yes, but very boring and bland. No tests, no text books are required. Museum visits are easy. Go with someone that can drive/read directions. Recreations are a PAIN.!!!11oneone

HORRIBLE class. More than nessecary required to pass. Everything is required to be done in pairs & most points earned outside of class. Never uses the book. TONS of money is spent on museaum trips not to mention it is close to impossible to coordinate schedules to go to museaums and do recreations when you work. Quite sarcastic and not open to ?'s.

Lets say just say he isn't hard. But having a such a huge class can create frustration. This class is a pretty expensive class. Buy 4 books and a clicker and you have to go to 7 museums, so thats gas and you usually have to pay to get into the museum. Overall, if he knows your name by heart, he loves you. And you will get an A. Personally, he sucks

Class is Expensive. Pay for Books, museum trips, gas money, photo recreations, clicker and registration. All of that cost money. Extra credit is making t shirt designs which cost money.

ART110 was arguably one of the most expensive classes I had to take, thanks to him. Lectures are extremely boring. DO NOT BUY THE BOOKS HE ASSIGNS! You would be wasting a LOT of money. You would have to answer clicker questions based on the books but the way he sets them up, you wouldn't need to have read the books anyway.

I really enjoyed this class, but it depends on the individual. It's what you put into it. I thought the museums were really interesting and without this class, who would just go visit one on their own? I was lucky to have great "lab" partners to make it even more enjoyable. Lastly, Zucman's a great professor! He expects a lot from his students.

His lectures were interesting at first, but then it gets old. He gives clicker questions frequently which do have an impact on your grade. You have to go to 7 art museums and do 4 photo re-enactments. He gives a lot of e.c.. He is rude sometimes if he detects laziness, and isn't helpful due to his large class size.

He is obsessed with the wiki. Learn it quickly or soon save your grade. As he said in class in a malicious tone, "Learn the damn wiki!" His lectures are boring. Clickers/attendance is crucial. DO NOT BUY ANY BOOKS. Make a wiki page even if you didn't do the assignment; might give free points because he can't check all wiki pages. DO TSHIRTS!1one1!!

I don't get how anyone can not like Zucman. The wiki is one of the most simple websites around, and anyone who says otherwise must be borderline illiterate.

I was excited to start this class, but it was nothing I expected. He is so unclear on his instructions and focuses on using technology and SecondLife too much. If you need help it is much better to ask the TA's. I would not recommend this class unless you have the time to focus on it.

This is a fun class in the sense that you are really being opened up into the art world, the only problem is the amount of work and the clarity of the professor, it's hard to know about all the projects even though everything is on wikispaces, once you know though you get the hang of it, and the class becomes fun if you're a responsible person

He wasn't helpful at all, his TAs are definitely more approachable. Zucman goes through the topics really briefly. Take some notes on each of the lecture, because that's a final project.
