great guy, messy drawing style, not as strict as Rivers, fun to listen to, great critiques, lets you have some artistic freedom

As far as teaching style goes, he is more of an academic. You'll learn more about human anatomy than how to draw. Not an especially fulfilling class, but Burrell IS very interesting. If you need work on your drawing skills, take Rivers class instead.

Good teacher. helpful. there was no really strict schedule for his of photo. this is a pretty straight forward course. and you can blaber on about any photo stuff in the many discussions. Good Art his course

With an online course, it's hard to really determine a prof's personality, but he seems really nice. He's always been quick with email responses and the course is organized fairly well.

Jason's a very compassionate person and professor. He inspired me to draw better than I thought was possible. History of Photo was different than I expected. As said before, more critiquing than actual history. He has a great (and odd) sense of humor, so watch out for that!

His Art as Interface class is just great! He's very intelligent and fun. Even more awesome as a contrast to Fenmore, who we've all heard the horror stories about.

Not too difficult of a class, and very little course work (mostly consists of watching movies).

This class is funny, entertaining and a LOT more interesting than I had even hoped! I'd definately recommend the class for those interested in cinema! It's a great class, Burrel is really awesome and SO much more helpful than most of the other art profs I've encountered!

simply awesome

hes a pretty easy teacher, and a really nice guy in general- he really seems to connect with his students and genuinely wants them to learn.

Burrell is VERY helpful, ask questions! As for doing well: take copious notes, jot down anything from film discussions, and attend all extra help sessions available. Though the quiz system can be strange, Burrell will award you a fair grade.

Basically a film class with ambiguous quizzes that can screw your grade easily (I learned nothing). Eventually he learned half the class was lost and made the last quizzes easier and curved our grades, but still not an enjoyable experience. Sucks that it's a pre-req, hope the next classes are better..

He worked really hard to help us out. I experienced movies I never would have and as an artist I was inspired by lots of them. His comments on the movies are noteworthy if you are lost. At first I didn't think I'd like the course but I ended up enjoying it alot!

Though the class is bound to change further still, my best advice would be to 1) cater to his style (in-class attentiveness is key!) and 2) don't hesistate to ask him (purposeful) questions. The class average was ~83, but if it hadn't been, he would've curved it to an 80 average. I received an A in the course.

Nice guy, very cool to talk to. His Art as Interface course is definately challenging. If you work hard you can pull off an alright grade.

We were required to watch alot of very boring and hard to find movies. The questions were vague and seemed based on opinion instead of hard yes or no questions. I would not take this unless you had to, but the instructor is very nice and helpful.

The content is hard to convey to such a large audience. The best way to talk to Jason is before or after class. He's very good at explaining things, everything is broken down very well, although many times the quiz questions are not art related.

I took this course online. I emailed him several times to ask about our grades, which were never posted. I never received any communication back. Finals rolled around, and we didn't hear anything about it until the middle of finals week. Terrible. No communication w/ students. Doesn't post grades for anything. Fairly easy class.

Impossible to reach by email but extremely helpful after class. The movies can be interesting, if hard to get your hands on. Quizzes generally impossible to ace. Example of a question of his: Did Maya Lin design the Vietnam War Memorial? Everyone selects yes. His answer: No; she created the Vietnam VETERANS memorial. Seriously? Easy pass, tough A.

I read these comments and think people are crazy. He is such a funny and entertaining professor. His quizzes do require you to think, but get over it - it's college. Some movies are hard to get through, admittedly, but it is possible to enjoy this class. I would take him - you'll be happy you did.

The course requires a large out of class commitment, so if you have to take it PLAN AHEAD. Still, the professor is friendly and more than willing to answer questions if you catch him after class

Burrell is a funny guy, but his class is EXTREMELY boring. he makes you watch boring videos all the time and its hard to watch them because there are usually only like 3 copies.

I read all of these bashings on Burrel, and thought I needed to come to his defense. His art as interface course 2820 was an easy introductory course on what it means to be an artist. It is a simple format, watch a movie, take a quiz. These movies made me think about art on different levels. If you don't do well, ask yourself WHY?EASY CLASS!

print out the quiz and answer the questions as you watch the movie. he drops the lowest grade. really easy to talk to after class (he will stay as long as you need him to) one group project but not too difficult. netflix helps but you don't need to spend any money on this class. He's a really nice and funny guy. too many lazy haters on here...

Very amusing and interesting professor! I'm never bored in his class. He's a good teacher and his class is pretty easy as long as you do the asignments.

Really easy class if you show up he gives you most of the quiz answers. You have to watch movies in the library and the questions are pretty straightforward most of the time. Sometimes you'll get a question on the quizzes that makes no sense but its bearable.

Very interested in what he's teaching and brings you into it. Great sense of humor. If you doodle in his class, he will genty call you out, but as long as you're awake, he doesn't seem to mind. Quizzes are challenging. REMEMBER TO SAVE EACH QUESTION INDIVIDUALLY... otherwise you'll get zeros for quiz grades and you can't fix them.

Burrell is super interesting and makes himself easily available even though he commutes from the Daytona campus. Attendance not mandatory but will help grades. Movies are usu good (if you like art analysis), mc web quizzes challenging b/c subjective. class is usu redundant for art majors, in case part of your basic art education was neglected elsew

You watch a lot of movies in this class, and that's basically what the class is about. As long as you watch the movies with some attention, your quiz grades shouldn't become bad. The professor is knowledgeable about the subject and he is also really helpful. Recommended.

This class is so ridiculous. Maybe I did learn some snippets of information but so not worth it. Only took it 'cause it was a requirement. Be absolutely vigilant when you're watching the movies because those quizzes are multiple-multiple choice. Ultimately I earned an A, but just barely and with a lot of hard work.

Took this class online. I'm not impressed. Definitely take the quizzes while you're watching the movies. While I did learn a little, watching 20 movies can be tedious. If you have to take this course, I recommend a summer session so it goes by quicker.

The lecture videos get a bit tedious, but a lot of the movies we watched for the class were interesting. This was an online class, so communication was a bit slow, but I didn't really have any questions so I wasn't bothered by that. An easy A, but do the quizzes while you watch the movies or at least look at the questions before you watch.

I've been in this mans class for 15 minuets and I can already tell how passionate he is for his students to do well. Which is something you don't find in teachers often anymore. He is really descriptive :)

Awesome professor, very passionate and knows his stuff. He makes it fun and interesting. Just keep up with the work, study and you'll do fine. He tends to take forever replying to emails though.

Professor B's class is not the easiest class you will ever take(based on quizzes), but it is one of the most interesting classes you will ever take. Never have I had a professor that spoke with such passion, knowledge and wisdom. Prof. B also provides extra credit opportunities that could actually benefit your future. I loved this class! :)

He is a decent guy he goes off on a lot of tangets and always makes an analogy to any movie to get the point through, which is annoying. He will hint the answer to some of the quiz questions during the movie or after. There is no textbook just movies you have to watch.

Simple class. watch 2 videos a week, take quiz. he hints at answers in his lectures and will help during office hours. his tests are hard though. the questions aren't cut and dry and may require multiple answers but definitely passable. writing assignments really boost grades so do them on time and well. doesn't demand much and is very friendly.

Great professor. Very knowledgeable. For some reason though I feel like he is open to student-professor relationships based on his comments on Artemisia.

I had professor Burrell for Drawing one over the summer, and couldn't have asked for a better professor. He cares about his students success and will always give more information or demonstrate concepts until you get a solid understanding of them. He pushes you a lot but is not mean about it.

I hate drawing. But enjoyed this professors class, he helped put me at ease and had me convinced by the end I can draw! I definitely recommend for those who feel overwhelmed by drawing 2 and had bad experiences with other drawing professors. He is very passionate about his class.

Jason is hands down one of the best Professors in art I have ever taken. He has helpful feedback and actually helps you improve. It wasn't an option for the class course but I actually had him for ART3321 not drawing 2.

I took his drawing intensive course during Summer A. One thing that stood out to me about him was how enthusiastic he was (and still is!) about teaching students how to draw. He is very kind, helpful, and a bit quirky. He loves to talk about his favorite movies during class lectures to make a point about art (especially the Lord of the Rings).

Professor Burrell's class was nothing short of amazing. I had taken a Summer A drawing 2 class which was extremely intense, but his teaching style, his involvement with the students and his critiques truly made it fun! I would 100% take a class with him again!

Professor Burrell's class was a fantastic experience. His hands-on approach, insightful critiques, and engaging teaching style made the intense coursework enjoyable. Unstuck AI proved a helpful study tool alongside the free textbook.
