Funny professor,Inspirational, handsome, well presented and very caring. He made me want to learn more about art, even though I did not care about it before taking his class. I highly recommend him and I hope he would teach more classes.
I would honestly retake his class if I had the chance to. He is an amazing teacher and cares about every single student. Super sweet and understanding.
He make sure that you read the chapters for homework. You can send him an email anytime, he will always respond and answer your questions. lots of presentations and art descriptions. He is funny and I really enjoyed his class.
Since I took prof. Pita's art class, I started to look at art differently. He said that the the beginning of his class, now I see it. He is a great professor. The students can always email him and he will answer right away. Final exam was tough, but he made sure we were all prepared. Thank you professor.
Great professor. I wish he could teach more classes. I learned a lot with him.
Professor Pita Vazquez is the greatest teacher I have had so far. He should be teaching more classes. I will definitely take any class he is teaching. Lots of assignments, but he explains and helps all the students to get it done. He is funny, he knows a lot about art and history. He will always answer your emails.
Thank you Prof. Pita for being the greatest teacher at MDC Hialeah. Thanks to you, now I know more about art and I sound smarter when talking to my wife, who loves art too. For the students who read this blog, take Prof. Pitas Art Appreciation at MDC Hialeah.
Personally the best teacher! An excellent teacher, concerned about his students and a very good person. If you take the art class with him, you will start to look at art in a different way. It makes classes easy and very entertaining.
Great professor. I recommend his class. Prof. Pita is funny and very creative. He looks very good too.
Amazing art professor. I wish professor Pita could teach my current Math class. I am sure he will make everybody want to come to class. He can many the learning of any class and any subject fun.
Prof. Pita is one of the few professors at the MDC that I really liked. He made the class fun and interactive. If you take his class, just make sure you do his work and turn it in before the deadline, participate, and do not be absent. He is very accessible outside the class, you can email him with any question and you will get a response.
Very easy teacher with amazing feedback.
He is just amazing. Don't think about it. Take him. He encourages you a lot.
He's a really easy-going teacher. He is very understanding.
Professor pita was awesome! Take art appreciation to. A whole new level.
Professor Pita will make you see art in a different way, he is fun and caring. I learned a lot from him, there is something new in every class. I did a lot of hands-on activities and one art piece. I really wish he could teach more classes. Other professors from mdc should take some notes on prof. Pita's teaching style.
This was my first time taking this class of art appreciation and with professor Pita. He gets to class on time and prepared for the new lecture of that day. There are some group projects but they are not so bad. As long as you follow directions and get your work done as best as you can, you are guaranteed to pass. He makes learning fun!
I took Art Appreciation with Prof Pita during summer and it was definetly a class i reccomend. Prof pita not only makes lectures informative but interactive and offers a break in between. He is accessible outside of class and there are a lot of hands on activities you will do. There are not that many assignments i had to do. I reccomend him 100%
I took the class with Prof. Pita Vazquez, he is a great professor. He really cares about his students. He makes sure everybody reads the chapters in the book. He is very accessible outside of class, you can send him an email about an assignment and he will answer you right away. He is funny and he made us do art (which it was awesome).
Professor Pita is the best and the coolest professor I've had so far. His class is extremely easy and chill. Only two group presentations you will need the book, don't buy, rent it from amazon. We only had two assignments to take home. No midterm and the final is open book, he provides a study guide to help you know where the answers are located.
Professor Pita Vazquez is one of the best professor I had. He makes Art History fun and we actually learn a lot about it. He let us be creative with two art projects. Just be sure to do every assignment. I recommend his class to everybody.
Amazing lectures, he makes the class fun and creative. We got to do two art works in class. Professor Pita is very transparent with the grading of the assignments, everything is on Black Board and you see your grades for every assignment. Also, you get what you earned. There is an extra credit assignment almost at the end of the semester.
Professor Pita is an incredible professor! Very fun and outgoing. A real treat especially if you're taking night classes. His class environment is positive, relaxing and just outright fun! :) would take again in a heartbeat
Excellent professor. Prof. Pita, takes art history class to another level. I actually learned from his class a lot, and I became more interested in art. Just be sure to buy the book, you will use it. Also, don't be afraid of group presentations because you will do it. Prof. Pita is very helpful and accessible outside of class. I recommend him 100%
He really loves art and wants you to love it as well. We mostly covered art history and religion instead of the actual art. There is a lot of GROUP assignments. If he sees the class with bored faces he will make the class do an some work activity to wake you up. Book is used a few times for quizzes and to study for presentations.
With professor Pita you see your grade in Blackboard all the time. He is always available outside of class for any questions about the assignments. There is about 3 art projects that you would have to do. Overall, I liked his class. He teaches history different which makes it less boring. He does not like cellphones out in class, but that is OK.
He is a really good professor, despite his young age. He really cares about his students' success, I sent him my class paper, for him to check, before I submitted it, and an hour later he had already emailed me the file with comments. I never had a professor that does that, usually, they just come to teach the class and that's it. I recommend him.
If you go to Miami Dade Hialeah campus, take professor Pita's art appreciation class. He is an awesome professor. He loves art, and after taking his class you will love art too.
Professor Pita is an awesome professor. He really loves art and he will help you understand the artistic world. He is chill, however respect his class and you will do just fine. I really really liked his Art Appreciation class, I honestly never thought I was going to enjoy a history class, but he makes it interesting I guess. btw he is handsome!
Awesome professor. I wish he'd teach the art appreciation morning classes as well.
I love prof. Pita Vazquez. He makes class, everyone in class had a great time and learned a lot about art. If you go to mdc Hialeah, take art appreciation with Prof. Pita Vazquez.
Awesome teacher, I would say he was one of the best teachers At mdc. I loved his art projects, I loved his lectures.
Awesome professor, I enjoyed his class. If you take his class be ready to do some artwork. Book is mandatory and he will make sure you use it.
Professor Pita-Vaz is the best. I don't know, he just make you feel you do good and you can do better. I just wish he could teach more courses here at Miami Dade Hialeah. I loved art appreciation, and I suggested his class to everyone.
Aside from being a great professor, hes a great artist. He went over the first 3 chapters in the book and then we did a group presentation in which he assigned a chapter to each group and we learned from each other. He not only provided a study guide for the final but let us use our book. I enjoyed doing 2 artworks because he gave great feedback.
He is so fun and caring. I actually learned a lot about art. Buy the textbook, you will use it.
Mr. Pita was excellent. He makes everyone enjoy art, and does not overload you with work. The most you will do is a pair of papers explaining an art piece. He truly loves art, he is an artist himself, and in his occasional lectures he shows the beauty of art. Every once in a while, he does small art projects in class, which are really nice. Easy A.
Thanks to Professor Jose Pita Vazquez I now have some background in art. I worked on projects and homework, but it didn't feel like work. I genuinely learned a lot. The Professor cares for his students' performance in the class. He is willing to help when you don't understand and makes things ver clear. I am happy I took this class.
I was fortunate to have such an amazing professor for this class. Professor Pita makes learning the arts interesting and enjoyable. You'll get to do hands-on assignments and express opinions on the different types of artworks. If you need help he will be there for you.
Best profesor ever! He loves teaching Art. You are going to learn a lot with him.
Amazing teacher! Makes everything clear and is very understanding. Make sure to take him.
Professor Pita is an excellent teacher that cares deeply about the subject of art and provides many helpful and interesting lectures about the course. While there may be a few writing assignments to do, the class overall is fun and easy to pass!
The class is a class where you'll learn about Art don't think it's just an easy A; it is but if you do your work. Don't expect to get an A by just doing nothing. The professor cares about his students and he is very passionate about what he teaches. Overall, a good class which I'd take again if I had to.
He is a great professor.
very good professor, cares and knows a lot about sunject. Encourages students to do the best they can because that's what's really important.
Amazing professor, teaches you the true meaning of art and exam was an easy A, obliviously you have to review, although we had to write essays about the structures and art, overall it was easy because that was all we had for hw. Showing up is mandatory and he is super nice and sweet ! Take him !
One of the best in MDC!!
I loved this class, the professor taught really well and my experience was overall excellent.
Excellent professor. If you take his class, you will learn about art. He does not fill you up with nonsense assignments and tests. Just be sure you do his homework and do not miss class, there is always something new, and that's what makes his lessons so interesting. Buy the book; you will use it!
Professor Pita was a great teacher. I recommend him 10/10. He is very talented and knows what he is talking about. He actually cares about his students and his class is not boring at all.
Amazing, knowledgeable, talented, and cute (lol) Professor. He is extremely nice, always willing to help, approachable and gives a god feedback. This is a phenomenal class that you will learn and you will never look at Art the same. Get ready for assignments, homework, papers, which if you do the study guide you will get an A
Good guy. Easy class, Just show up. Involves Art in class. Pretty cool.
Great Professor. He really teach us art and how to describe and critique an art piece. Buy the book, you will need it. He gives great feed back and he is willing to check your assignments before you submit it. Make sure you follow his assignments guidelines and paper formats.
He is an awesome professor, he makes learning fun and makes so many fun activities. Definitely recommend.
professor Vazquez was one of the best if not the best professor I have had at Miami-Dade college. he is knowledgeable and passionate about what he teaches, and he clearly cares about his students. he doesn't like to let any of us slip through the cracks, when it comes to us learning. thank you so much for an amazing and fun class.
Overall, I liked the class. I understand we are in hard times, however, textbook is mandatory and we only used it once for an assignment. He gave a lot of assignments, although he does give a lot of heads up. Not a hard grader.
Pita was honestly one of the best teachers Ive ever had. He is passionate and makes his class interesting. Its not a basic read ab Art class, he makes it interactive and lets you make art to really understand and experience it. He is extremely caring & will always hype you & your art up (mostly you). If I could retake this class I 100% would.
I took his class due to the good reviews, however, his class was quite the opposite. Although he is not a bad professor he did give big assignments weekly including multiple analysis, powerpoint presentations, etc. On the bright side, he is an easy grader.
I took prof. Pita Vazquez and I can say he is one of the most caring professor I have ever had. I did not like the class was online, however, the only reason I did not drop the class was because of him. He cares about his students learning and understanding the content. I would take him again in a heard beat.
Great professor. Take him, you will learn a lot about art.
Excellent professor. I like how he teaches the class, I honestly never like art history, but he made it fun and I actually learned a lot. You will need the book for many of the class work, but he does not care how you get the book, as long as you have it.
Prof Vazquez was an excellent professor. The book is used for most classes, be sure you get it. I liked the class and I learned a lot about understanding the arts. He is very cool and his lectures are not boring at all. We did artworks which he includes as part of the lesson. Take him, you will not regret it.
He is a amazing professor, and also a great high school teacher. My girlfriend's sister is currently his student and she loves his art class. Me and my girl took his class last semester and we loved it. You actually learn a lot and he makes the lectures fun. He gives you everything you need to pass the class but to learn about art.
He is an A professor. You will learn how to analyze an artwork and how to present an artwork. Get the book for his class.
He is a great professor. He cares about his students ans he make sure everyone understands the content. I am glad I took his class, and I wish I'd have more professors like him.
Prof. Pita Vazquez is the best professor I've had in a long time. He reminds me of my favorite teachers in middle and high school. I was not doing well in class, and he took his time to meet me after class and go over the assignment, share articles with me, and even check my projects before I submitted them. Who does that in college anymore?
You do your work and go to class, and you will pass his class with an A. He is an excellent professor, at first, it looks like I was going to do a lot, but I actually enjoyed the assignments. The first day he told the class that after taking the course, we would see the world differently, and he was RIGHT. Take his class, you will learn a lot.
Excellent professor. Take him!.
His class was my favorite one of the whole semester. You can ask him any question about an assignment, and he is always available to help. He makes the assignment extra clear, and he taught me how to search for the information for my research assignments. If he were to teach another class, I'd take it in a heartbeat.
Professor Pita is a fantastic teacher. He is particular about his assignments, and he prefers that the students adhere to the frameworks and templates he offers. But he'll make certain you understand. I enjoyed the course and would take it again if he taught another course. Get the book; you'll need it. You can get it digitally or in paper.
I just can't find myself to agree with professors that give so much work. He's a great teacher and you learn a lot by listening to him but the amount of group projects and "busy work" that he gives is not justifiable by any means. This is an elective but will stress you out more than a core class just because of all the home work he gives.
He is an awesome. His classes are very interactive and he cares for his students. He gives decent amount of work, but he gives you time, and ypu can even send him a rough draft for him to check before you submit. Take him, you will learn a lot.
Great professor and great class. You need the book.
He is a great professor. He explains well and we always have access to his lectures and the files he shares. If you wanna pass, do your work, go to class. Also buy the book, we used the book a lot.
Best Professor out here cant compare!!!
Professor Pita genuinely loves art and art history. His passion for it can be seen as soon as the class starts. He loves discussing the little intricacies behind the meaning of many artworks. He honestly sparked my love for art again. 10/10 best Art Appreciation professor in the whole country.
I never though I was going to like Art history so much. Prof. Pita's class has been one that I had enjoyed since day 1. The college should give him a fulltime position.
This class is a great class to take if you like art or don't. The professor is very knowledgeable about art and will help you with the projects. The course is easy. He's always there if you need help or have questions outside class hours.
Nice class, excellent professor.
If you go to MDC Hialeah, take prof. PitaVazquez art appreciation. He is amazing and he makes learning about art interesting.
He is amazing.
If you take art appreciation ARH1000, take prof. Pita Vazquez. He is one professor I can say cares about his students.
Best art appreciation professor ever!!!
Please give him full-time position. Professor Pita Vazquez is amazing. I never thought I'd like art so much, I wish he could teach more classes.
This professor is amazing. He is very flexible and would not have a problem if you ever need to be late or miss class as long as is a good reason tho. It is very easy to pass just be creative in your PowerPoints and this is an easy A. Would definitely recommend.
Prof. Pita-Vazquez is an outstanding teacher. He genuinely cares about his students, is incredibly kind, and has a deep knowledge of art and history. I highly recommend him 100%! I only wish I had the chance to take his class in person. A fellow student told me he even creates artwork with his in-person classes. It sounds like an amazing experience
He's an awesome professor that is extremely lenient to everyone. So if you're not an art major yet need to fulfill a requirement, then take his class. He does assign projects where you have to present, but just read off of some index cards and it's an easy A. He also lets you use the internet to help you with the only exam. Really fun class overall
He's a very kind and helpful professor. He clearly wants all his students to succeed. There's some work to do for this class but it's very doable and the professor helps give you feedback. Professor Pita also tries to make the class as fun and interesting as possible. You can tell he cares for and loves his job.
