I actually look forward to coming to class every day! I hate missing classes, and I've learned a lot. He is one-of-a-kind.

This man has an amazing presence about him. Hes hilarious and you cant take your eyes off of him when he is talking.

very enthusiastic professor. loves what he does and will help you in whatever he can. always gives good honest crit sessions.

Prof. Rosenberg is the kind of instructor who's love for what he does is absolutely infectious. He can take movies that one would never consider watching, and actually make them interesting and thought provoking. Can't take a better 3 Art credits.

Arguably one of the funniest and most interesting professors you might ever have. Relatively demanding but not altogether too difficult.

You'll do fine in this class if you: A)follow directions to the letter, B)are great at drawing, C)are an art major, D)are good at kissing up, E)never miss class. Rosenberg will make you laugh, but he will also laugh at you. Be prepared to have your work be called sh**.

The tests are pretty difficult and you have to stay up on the reading, you pretty much have to remember everything that you read and everything that he says in his lectures. Rosenberg makes the subject very interesting because he is so passionate about what he is talking about. I loved this class

Flamboyant and wonderfully enthusiastic about the subject. Good taste in film. Terribly hard grader. Gives out a staggering amount of C's. Think like him, treat each essay as an English essay, and have NO grammatical errors, and you'll do fine.

Ya gotta love Howie.

He is the best professor for his shoe collection alone. If you are an idiot, then his class is hard and he is mean. If you approach the intellectual capacity of celery, you are probably smarter than that, but I dunno... there's always some dumbf**k in a class. You will love (and ph34r) him.

Best instructor (& advisor) I've ever had. His bark is worse than his bite, but if you're legitimate & try hard, it's worth it. Never met a more pro-student professor in my undergrad. Truly a great asset to UNR and a great personality. Wish I had a way to truly repay what he's meant to me. Namaste, sir.

I took him 5 years ago during the summer. He was very funny and I thought his lecutres were very interesting. He even helped me get the grade I needed.

Boring movies, has a superiority complex, I got lucky to get on his good side cause he loves to run over people. Doesnt tell you what he wants, and fails you when its not what hes looking for.

I like his style and his connectedness with teh students. You just have to talk to him and he's a great guy. He's just a stickler about his rules.

His tests are tough people, we are talking in the neighborhood of 20+ pages. Study your vocabulary and you will at least pass the mid-term. His bark is meaner than his bite. He is very sarcastic and it seems people take offense to that, try being in the Army, Rosenberg is not that bad. Attendance policy is a little harsh.

Howard is incredibly knowledgable, incredibly intimidating, and incredibly interesting. If you actually care about what you're doing, like studying and being a student, he's very helpful to have on your side because he's scary. His tests are really long (25+ pages) but his lectures are from his own experience- he's actually been to those places.

I got an A in this course, and I'm not even an art major. Howard is a wonderful professor, and it was pretty sweet to know what I was seeing when I traveled around the world after his class.

Well, it seems that people either love him or hate him. I found him a very engaging, passionate instructor that leaves you with an answering love of the material that he teaches. I was immensely surprised at how easily intimidated people were by him--his manner was brusque, and yes, he does not have patience for students that do not do their work o

Extremely funny and whole hearted teacher with a great way of presenting information

Howard is a hoot! He expects you to know your stuff but his classes are always entertaining. He does know a great deal about the arts and I would reccomend that everyone take at least one class from him. His film class is fun. You get to watch movies and learn about them...pretty easy.

Get a life! Howard is wonderfull. If you can get over the gruffness, and suck it up he is a wealth of information willing to help you persue your dreams.

Howard is great if you take the time to speak with him. Great stories, sometimes off topic, but I had a good time in this class.

One of the most difficult classes I have taken at UNR. He's sharp and witty but old and a in his own world. His lectures are fun and interesting but he is really redundant (and I doubt he knows it). I took this for fine arts credit:mistake! It took too much time to study for his exams! oh and he liked to judge my outfit. Don't wear pink shoes.

simply put you get out of his classes what you put in.

I'm starting a fan club. T-shirts will be printed within the month. He's a blast. As long as you do the work and put effort into it he's really a nice guy. If you are an idiot and bow off assignments, god help you.

Really great teacher! He kept me on my toes and he is the reason I chose my major as Art History. He has a lot of stories to tell and wonderful information to give. It made me like coming to class, and it was an amazing experience for my first semester. Take him and be prepared!!!

I've been in numerous classes he has taught,and yes he is a tough cookie, but you will learn what you signed up to learn. As a perk (if your not uptight) you will get a lot of laughs out of his stories.

Yes he can come across as 'mean', but in all honesty he cares quite a lot about his students. If you make the effort to go talk to him he will help you. And as for his art/drawing classes, he does keep things vague, and that's a good thing. He does that so you aren't limited in your assignments. It's important to listen ONCE and listen carefully.

This class requires you to pay attention and do the reading. His exams are tough. He's pretty entertaining, even if you are uninterested in the material. Don't be late to his class unless you want to be publicly chastised.

Best professor at UNR!

Dear Curious Student, you may be a little intimidated by this intimidating teacher but fear not; overall, he is a very fair and humorous professor. Some advice: Go to class. Be absent as little as possible. Do the readings. Listen and take notes. If you cannot execute any of the above information, don't dare to take his class and dream on.

Anyone who doesn't like Howard Rosenberg obviously was born with out a sense of humor and needs to take the stick out of their bum. His lectures are interesting and engaging. Tests are somewhat hard but if you pay attention to things he talks about most you can be sure you'll do well on them. Oh, and if you have perfect attendance you cant fail.

IMPOSSIBLY HARD TESTS! I studied for a week for his test, and still didn't do well. He's fun, an excellent teacher, one of the best on campus, but the tests are just near impossible. If you're not willing to study every single day of taking this course, do NOT take him.

Rosenberg shows a genuine engagement on the material; very passionate and gives a sense of fascination about the topic. The tests are tough though. You're only given two lengthy tests for the semester. DO read the book and memorize every picture in it. Also, if you attend all his lectures, he makes it so it's impossible to fail the course.

Howard Rosenberg cares only for students! He is passionate for the arts and teaches for you to LEARN! Yes he is hard, he wants all students to learn the fundamentals and the lessons from him are so valuable! He is a true humanitarian and fair. He is funny, lovable and most of all caring! He is worth the effort take his class!

Howard Rosenberg is the BEST professor I've had. He genuinely cares about students who put time and effort into his class. GO to class. DO the readings. Make sure to sit in the first 5 rows- he likes to ask people in the back questions when no one responds. I sincerely hope he doesn't retire before I graduate. It would be a terrible loss to UNR

Great teacher. One of the most enetertaining i've ever had. he makes art interesting. You might not be good at it (which i'm not) but if he sees your progress and effort than you can't fail. he has no hesitation to embarass you so beware, but a really genuine guy who cares about his students who actually try and are willing to learn. I enjoy class

This class is very difficult for apathetic students unwilling to put forth any effort. The professor is fair and willing to help students if they put forth an effort to learn the material. He also does not get along with technology, so lecture is mainly from the book. If you're looking for an easy class this is not for you!

This is a great class if you are interested in the subject matter. Rosenberg is a great teacher willing to help those who try to learn in his class. He does not care for lazy students *be warned*. His teaching style is very old school, and he relies mostly on the textbook and his verbal lectures. Attendance is vital to doing well in this class.

I dropped this class the first time I tried to take it with this professor because he scared me off. The second time that I enrolled I realized he was 100% sarcastic & pursposefully trying to scare students off. Rosenberg is a great teacher passionate about the subject matter. He is very helpful and clearly details what he expects of his students.

Rosenberg is not as bad as all these reviews make him seem. He's actually quite funny and helpful. The work in the class though is demanding. This was class was especially hard for me since I have no interest in art at all. But give him a chance! I'm probably retaking it (yes, I failed. GO TO CLASS!Attendance is important to him!) with him.

Put in the work - You'll get a grade. Not the hardest class I've taken, but not the easiest either. Very intriguing and opening of the mind. You learn more than the fundamentals of art. Come with an open mind or don't waste your time coming at all.

Just show up...100 per cent attendance will pay off

Graduated in 1983, and took Rosenberg in 1981. Still one of all time favorite. Thanks for the work, thanks for the class. Anyone who takes his class is very lucky. I give money to UNR (uhh, NEVADA) because of him and others like him. You will work very hard, but if you let him teach you, you will be better (much better).

He genuinely cares about his students, and it shows. Very well educated, expects you to know your stuff. He tries to be gruff , but he doesn't mean to be cruel. Definitely one of my favorites.

He was very kind and wise! Told some awesome stories. If you plan on taking this to get an easy A DON'T. I spent so much time on my project for this class then studying for other classes. He also doesn't tell you your grade until the end of the semester so you have no idea what you have.

BEST TEACHER AT UNR!!! Rosenberg will teach you so much more than art fundamentals, he really aims to teach you about life in general. Very strict but so worth it in the end. Attendance is a huge factor in your grade! Also, he's always available to help you out, you only need ask. I can't recommend him enough.

Honestly, it is pretty clear that he has done many many things with his life and he could have chosen from a number of professions. Probably one where he could make more art. But he didn't, he really really loves teaching and its inspiring. Regardless of the class, take him because seeing someone who loves his job that much is inspirational.

By far the best class to fulfill a Fine Arts requirement, especially if you have an interest in film. Only grades for the entire semester are attendance (a film once a week) and two essays with no length requirement. Howard Rosenberg is one of the most knowledgeable and hilarious professors I've had.

Rosenberg is hilarious and I really enjoyed his class. If you're a science major that's dreading the fine arts credit, take this. I have a whole new perspective on movies and surprisingly learned a lot. Just show up for class and read some of the books he assigns. Easy A.

Rosenberg is one of my favorite professors. He is absolutely hilarious and entertaining.

He is an unmerciful, tough, stuck in his ways old man who enjoys openly critiquing other's work and does not care who he upsets or offends. And he does not care what you think about him. He is loud, obnoxious, rude, dramatic, and harsh. And you would be an idiot not to take his course.

Cool dude with an old school style and he picks good films to watch. Only two exams on films. I recommend his class for a Fine Arts credit and to learn about film.

He loves what he does. It shows. Students garner the benefits!

I was fortunate to be allowed to attend a day of his film class with my sister before I was old enough to attend UNR. I loved it! When I attended UNR, I took 3 different classes taught by Dr. Rosenberg. His insight enriches a class beyond the mere content of a book or film. My daughter will attend his class this fall semester. Highly reccomended!

Professor Rosenberg was hilarious and an overall amazing guy. You arent really graded on a lot of things. Sometimes what he wants isnt all that clear though. Overall a great class.

Dr. Rosenberg is a great professor, but this is not a class for those looking for an easy A. Be prepared to spend a lot of time outside of class working on projects, but if you put in the work you'll get through just fine.

Fairly easy class overall. All you do is watch films and write essays on them
