Professor Stover is such an awesome teacher, he goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the subject, sends reminder emails to inform you on upcoming tests and papers and he is easily accessible. It's great seeing a teacher that cares for the well being of his students. Honestly, I would take another of his classes for fun.

Professor Stover is one of the best of the professors I have ever come across. He seems to care a lot about student. If you read the assigned reading, and complete the quiz on time, I guarantee an A.

He is a terrible art teacher. It's to the point where I don't even think he should be an art teacher anymore. He makes correction complicated than ever. Yeah he's an easy class, but when it comes to correction. He does THE MOST. If you think you're going to make a mistake in his class, I recommend to not take his. He's rude and mean.

The class is really easy to get an A only if you read the syllabus yourself. He doesn't offer specific guidelines on the Mini Art History, but still, count off a copious amount of points without any explanation. More than 80% of the time, he's not teaching about art, but how we are supposed to live life effectively in his own opinion. Ethics?

Amazing professor. If youre taking art for the first time I definitely recommend Stover. The hardest thing you do is write a museum paper, but he isnt super hard on grading it so its not bad. The tests are pretty easy, the discussions are easy, and if you fall behind there is a bunch of extra credit you can do. Seriously one of the best classes.

There is at least one essay that you have to write and the professor gives a chance to make up for your grade with extra credit.

It is no exaggeration when I say that he is by far the worst professor I have ever had. He'd get angry about lack of participation, but yell at students for being "defiant" if they contributed to the lecture. He would never stay on topic and spends 90% of his lectures ranting about how his generation was superior. Class was easy, but he's horrible.
