He has very dry humor and tries to be funny by usually joking and insulting his students. He has a good heart and enjoys his job but i hardly learned anything taking art classes with him. He also takes off points for very unimportant details and there werent very many points at all during the semester so my grade was bad and i thought i did well=[

Paul's a good guy. He genuinely enjoys what he does and tries to keep his students interested. He likes to pick on students, sometimes, but he doesn't do it out of spite. The class was fairly laid back. As long as you draw during class and put forth an effort, you'll probably do well.

I took Professor Berger for Art of Appreciation and he is such a great professor. He assigns virtual fieldtrips that are actually really fun and we get to write about them. He gives us enough time to complete the assignments and I really like his PowerPoints they are very fun to read and look at the pictures. I recommend him.

Found the txtbook off of libgen (free), lots of writing assignments that are simple. Quiz answers are all from lectures/powerpoints & the midterm exam are same questions from the quizzes (similar for the final). Overall, very chill and easy class and an EZ-PEEZY-A!

Easy A. Wasn't really interested in Art so I dreaded doing the assignments. Really easy though not much effort is needed to pass with an A. Cool guy.

This was such a fun class. I loved attending class and working on my projects. My art was not the prettiest but it was so relaxing. Paul is a cool person; I recommend taking the class if you can.

He was a great teacher. Not hard grading criteria. Mainly discussion posts about art visual's given, some slides, and virtual museum visits where you picked a painting and described it in art terms which was not difficult once you read the slides given. Overall great teacher.

What a complete waste of time and money. Paul's “teaching” is a disorganized mess; he rambles on about techniques he clearly doesn't understand himself, leaving you more confused than when you started. The guy acts like he's some tortured genius, but his own work looks like a toddler got loose with a paintbrush—zero skill, zero vision.

Easy A. Just do the weekly assignments and you'll coast through this course. The content is interesting, and unstuck study was a big help with exam prep.

Don't take this class if you actually like ceramics. He's very laid back but the class struggles because there's no structure or rules to it. People run around the classroom, glazes are not well taken care of and your projects are high fired so they probably won't come out nice. I was really excited about this course but left very disappointed.

He's very laid back and his lectures are quick and informative. The readings are very short with only two quick assignments a week plus a quiz. Would definitely take this guy.

Berger made me appreciate art more! His class is fairly easy, and I found the textbook online, but honestly never opened the pdf and just went off of his slides. I loved the virtual museum visits, and the papers were only one page long. A few discussion posts, but nothing to make your life a living hell. SO EASY! TAKE HIM!

The class is very easy and the assignments are not very hard. The virtual museum visits were interesting. He does ask for the textbook but you don't really need it. I used his slides more than anything else. Would recommend if you need an art credit and don't want to spend money.

This class was so easy! The workload wasn't heavy and it was not hard. You can find all the answers for the quiz/test in the book and the PowerPoints. If you just do the work there is no way to fail. We also got an extra credit opportunity worth 30 points. He is super nice!

This is a great class to take if you have other classes that may take up a lot of your time. he gives very little homework and the homework he does give is very easy and straightforward.
