Very accomidating. Classes are always pretty interesting, though, study HARD for his tests.

Professor Flora is an excellent teacher. He lays everything out for you to succeed. However, if students think this class will be an easy "A," well think again. Like every college course , you need to put in the time to see results. So, if you do not study you will not get a good grade; however, if you do you will do well. I highly recommend him.

101 is meant to be a broad overview of the humanities, but bro flora feels like you need to know the most specific little things about them and tests on concepts that are ridiculous. He forces the humanities on you and tries to make you love them too, too opinionated and can be offensive. Very vague. Take it online and you'll enjoy it.

Brother Flora enjoys teaching, but does not convey his knowledge well. 10-15 minutes of every class are spent telling the class they are not trying and is a repeat of Sunday (he is a bishop). After he finishes his rant he rushes through the rest of class to compensate for poor time management. Has a schedule but does not follow. Tests difficult

His class was amazing. Inspired me through his love of the Arts to do better in my studies and life in general. I still use what I learned in the class through random conversations I encounter through the day. And I am not a Humanities or Art Major! He is a friend to anybody and everybody.

Brother Flora is an excellent professor. He really loves what he teaches and is able to make you love it too. Although we had a lot of assignments, they were the same in all foundations classes.

Brother Flora makes humanities really interesting which is great. But beware-- he does give a lot of homework assignments. But, he's not a harsh grader so as long as you complete the assignments you're golden! The tests are a little hard. I didn't study very hard for them at all and I felt very unprepared, but you know it better than you think!

If you want a professor who is super proactive in helping you to understand and succeed, don't take him. Brother Flora is very lecture heavy, will even take the whole time lecturing. Doesn't answer many questions, and takes days if at all to respond to emails. I would never take another class for him.

Brother Flora is very passionate about the humanities which makes it fun to be in his class, but prepare yourself for a decent amount of work outside of class. We read Les Miserables, did an out-of-class group project, had to memorize many pieces of art, music, and architecture, their composers, time period, etc. It's tricky, but worth it.

You can tell Br. Flora is very passionate about what he is teaching. His class is, however, very reading heavy. The tests are difficult and you have a couple projects throughout the semester which depend on what your major is.
