First of all, Show up for class. He does not take attendance, but if you skip you will not do well on his tests! The entire class is just a lecture and note taking and what ever you talk about could be on the quizesExams. He will not take late work. So don't wait until the last minute, cause if your computer crashes, tough luck. He is very funny.

I thought Brother Cornick was a little too hard on us at times, especially grading wise. This class is supposed to be inspiring, fun, and more hands on in my opinion. Instead, I felt like I was sitting through a math teacher's class. He could have been a lot more creative with his approach to teaching a photography class. He is no nonsense.

He is very poised & explains things well. He has open note quizzes after each week on the material that is covered so it's an easy 100% because it's word for word in your notes, 3 tests, & a few iLearn assignments.

Bro Cornick is a great teacher! He seems weird at first, but if you get to know him, he is so cool. He blew my mind daily with the observations and history behind the films we watched. Homework didn't' take very long and was always helpful. He gives good feedback and is willing to work with you! Only 3 absences allowed but you don't want to miss!!!

Bro. Conick is a good teacher. He seems passionate about what he teaches. Participation outside of class is important. There are different cultural events that you have to go to, but as long as you go and pay attention you should do fine. Hes a pretty easy A as long as you actually do the prep work and go to the events.

I absolutely loved taking this class from Brother Cornick. I always walked away from his class feeling uplifted and excited to learn more. His tests were relatively easy if you put in the work to memorize the material and he has extra credit options that were very enjoyable for me to complete. I would highly recommend taking humanities from him.

I really enjoyed History of Photography with Brother Cornick. He is extremely knowledgeable on the subject and has a deep passion for the information. You do need to be in class and take notes or you won't do well, but if you pay attention and really study the images on the study guide you'll do great. I learned so much in his class!

Very passionate about what he teaches, which makes lectures more fun! He's quite strict, if you miss an assignment there is no turning it in late. If you aren't able to stay off technology for and hour and a half and take paper notes, find another professor who will let you.
