This class is awesome! He brings excitement to this typically dry class.The class consists mostly of viewing slides, but he relates to them by saying like hey when i taught there this summer the class got really **** there, there and there!! He makes you really enjoy and appreciate art history

It gets boring a lot of the times and he tries to be funny... I guess it's an okay class, but I do not look forward to going to it. I skip a lot and just get notes from a friend. You never reall miss much!

haha funny teacher! i love him!

The man is a f'n sticth! How do you not enjoy this class? i think that is impossible to do! The dude is a great teacher!

Very funny ma. The class is just boring if your not interested in art

This class is really fun. I look forward to go to it. The teacher is awesome and pretty funny. He shows slides, but makes it fun. He got me really interested in the subject. Just watch out for his tests. He says that if you go to class you will pass, but thats not necessarily true. Just STUDY a lot! His study sessions arent that helpful.

Knowledgable teacher. Makes art interseting. I actually did independent research because of his class. His test are tough. Looking at the notes is not enough. You must go to class everyday, so take it twice a week.

Good teacher, but his tests are a little hard. He is also very strict about leaving class early or showing up late.

very cool guy. Jokes around a lot in class. Knows all about art. Do not show up late. Asks some picky questions on exam so take good notes.

Very interesting lectures. He keeps you interested and makes the art memorable to those who wouldnt not otherwise care. You need to study for his tests unless you retain knowledge you hear really well. He gives you a good guideline for note taking.

cool professor. he told you everything you need to know for his test. If you show up you pass. He tells you this and he wasn't wrong.

Very interesting lectures. I didnt really care about art untill this class. He keeps your attention. His tests are pretty easy as long as you go to class all the time and take good notes. I would definetly suggest taking his class.

easy as long as you go to class and take notes .. you dont need the text book .. his tests will take you 20 min. to finish max. dont piss him off, other than that he's a very good teacher!!! =]

I had him for art appreciation... don't buy the textbook, you won't use it, and he "checks" for it but just says he "remembers" who showed him. 3 tests, all on lecture material, he will tell you EXACTLY what's on the test in the review. Easy class as long as you go and take notes, interesting lectures, funny guy. I would definitely recommend!

he is really easy. his class is basically just go to class and take notes. he will never use blackboard or email or anything like that, he tells u the date of the tests and reviews in class. the tests are really easy, max. 20 mins to finish. dont come in more than 10 mins. late and dont be on your cell phone. don't sleep either!

The tests are easy if you come to class regularly and take good notes. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just dont come in late, dont use the back door, dont sleep, or text or he will go bipolar on you.. and then pretend it never happened. other than that, hes not that bad!

He is engaging with plenty of relevant antidotes. In his lectures he should a passion for the Rennaissance and the city of Florence which he has visited many times. His jokes are hit and miss but he keeps the energy level high. His test require preparation but they are fair.

ART APPRECIATION This professor was amazing. He gives tests on exactly the material he tell you to study. He makes his classes fun and exciting and always interesting.He is great. However this is not a fluff class, you do have to work for a grade. But if you can do that, you are in the clear.

Very easy class. Grade consists of 3 exams & that's it. Go to every class && take good notes. Prof. Hurlburt is funny and really cool but don't piss him off. He tries to scare you into buying the book by saying that your grade depends on it but he never once checked for the book so don't buy it!

Ignore what everyone is saying about him being mean etc etc. If you go to his lectures you will absorb the information and be very entertained. He is incredibly intelligent and makes the subject interesting. All he asks for is your respect and that you refrain from using cellphones. Loved his class!

He was really funny and really interesting. If you attend every class and focus, getting an A is the easiest thing in the world. I barely studied and just filled in the vocab words he makes you write. I'm a sophomore and this is still the easiest A I got by far. And DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. Even if he says hes checking, hes not. Don't waste your money

great professor. dedicated and passionate about what he does. He is very fair. Here's the catch, you have to show up to class and take notes. He will help you if you help you self.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<3333333333333333 LOVE HIIIIIMMM

A very knowledgeable professor but he gets off subject and wastes a lot of time. His jokes get annoying. He needs to share more of his expertise and also he needs to provide a study guide for the tests.

Hurlburt is a great professor with a lot of knowledge. If you are eager and determined to learn and have fun doing it, take his class. If you are lazy, don't like going to class and you don't have a sense of humor then he's not for you..you'll just end up leaving a bad review here. Take detailed notes (geography, small facts, etc...)

I've taken him every semester I possibly could. Classes are straightforward. Pay attention, take notes = win. He could make the phone book interesting, imo.

honestly the best professor Ive ever taken in my life. Hes funny and makes everything interesting. As long as you pay attention to what he tells you to remember in class then you'll get an easy a. He gives you the answers if you come to class. Class went by fast and was really interesting.

Professor Hurlburt was a blast. He was really funny and kept such a boring class alive. It is key that you go to class all the time and write down everything he puts on the board, because everything he puts on the test is based on the words on the board.

Great Professor. Easy A just go to class pay attention and take good notes. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK!!!!

If you're looking for an easy elective or to complete credits for foundations of creative expression, do not take this course with him. He simply lectures and can make exams difficult at times even though he says it's "going to be easy". He doesn't take attendance, but you have to go to class to pass.

Prof. Hurlburt is the absolute BEST. Anyone posting that he is not was obviously one of the rude ones that he appropiately would not stand for. Go to class and take notes and it's simple. He does not like rude people (who does), so just be polite and kind and this class will be the best. He's funny, witty, and the best guy ever!!!!

Prof Hurlburt is an awesome dude that can make the subject somewhat interesting to those who had none beforehand. That being said, this class can be pretty hard if you aren't a good notetaker. The material he goes over in class isn't written, he gives it all orally. If you miss something important that he says you're kind of screwed.

Prof. Hurlburt was by far my FAVORITE professor! To all those who claim his class was so hard and impossible to pass were the ones who either did not show up or slept throufh lecture. All you need to do is show up and take a few notes on what he says is important. I definitely recommend this class if you know how to sit in a chair and listen!

Excellent class! You will learn alot, even if your not an Art major you WILL enjoy this class!2 papers and 1 final! It nearly impossible to fail his class, plus he makes it fun and interesting...very knowledgeable professor, take his class! you will not regret.

This was the only class that I honestly enjoyed going to this semester! He is very layed back but has a strict rule of no electronics in class. He tells great stories and jokes and I would definitely take this class again!

By far my favorite professor. He made the material interesting and always had a good story. Make sure you take notes and try not to skip class. I would take the class again in a heartbeat.

1. He is old school (no ppt posted, no laptop/cell phone use during class) and the reason people think he is hard or not clear is because of this. 2. He literally tells you whats on the test word for word.. NOT KIDDING.. all you gotta do is pay attention and write good notes to get an A with minimal effort 3. Funny as hell, will call students out

This professor was by far my favorite. He's very old school so his lectures cover what's going to be on the 3 exams he gives (including the final). Doesn't like cellphone usage so keep it away or you'll get kicked out. Just show up to class and right down what he tells you to and you'll pass. He's also hilarious so you'll have fun.

Professor Hurlburt was amazing! He doesn't tolerate phone use in class because he wants you to respect his lectures. He is very funny and makes learning art history quite enjoyable. You have to come to class if you want to succeed. The exams are solely based on his lectures so if you show up you'll pass with flying colors.

He is awesome and funny, enjoy his class he makes it very interesting. Have to come to every class or you will be lost and he talks about what you need to know for exams. Exams are easy only if you show up and listen in his classes. He is entertaining and I would take his class again!

He is a really nice teacher, super funny. This class is super easy, there are about two or three test, I think he drops tone test if you do bad one. Doesn't like technology so don't get caught with your phone in class, he will put you on blast. But overall he's super funny and his test are really easy, just make sure to take notes and study them.

Doesn't upload grades or use canvas at all. Only 3 tests throughout the semester and the last one is cumulative. Gives all the information for the tests from his powerpoints, so don't worry about the textbook. He is very funny and told stories about himself which made the class better for me. Easy class if you just show up and take notes!

You have to go to lecture. He doesn't take attendance. He gives questions that are going to be on the text. No quizzes, Just 4 tests. He is funny. DON'T NEED TO BUY THE TEXTBOOK. He lecture on his own things not by the textbook.

Hes an awesome professor! You dont need the textbook even though he will tell you to buy the access code, dont. Although attendance isnt mandatory, what he says IN CLASS is on the test. His lectures are funny, he tells lots of stories and hes such a smart guy he makes it interesting and explains art in a way thats easy to understand!

This class is graded off three of four exams, you don't need the access code/textbook. He doesn't use canvas or post notes so your only means of getting information is going to class. He is a nice guy and funny, and wants students to pass. He is strict about cell phone use though!

Final grade is only made up of 3 exam grades, but theyre easy as long as you attend class and take notes. DONT buy the online textbook, I never used it once and got an A in the class because exams are based off his lectures. Hes cool and funny and makes lectures interesting, but hes extremely strict about staying off your phone and not being late.

You don't need the textbook at all. Be sure to pay attention to everything he says during lecture and take good notes because that's what the tests consist of. There are only a total of 3 test for the entire course. He is a chill guy but don't speak over him and don't use your phone during class.

He is an excellent professor, albeit he does sometimes go off topic for extended periods of time. But when he teaches, he makes it interesting. I enjoy his lectures and his writing assignments. He challenges you to think outside of the box instead of writing the same old drab stuff. And don't hesitate to reach out to him. He is a nice guy!

hes a really funny guy, very respectful and expects you to be too. he doesn't tolerate lateness, so you got to be on time. you don't, DONT need the online textbook, as long as you actually go to class and take good notes, the class is an easy a. only grades are 3 exams and final, no hw. easy easy easy a.

Actually my favorite professor I've ever had! Very funny and very respectable! Super easy and interesting class, all you have to do is show up to class and be on time, "that's half of life, just showing up"-Hurlburt. Very easy A if you attend class and pay attention. No attendance is taken, but is important to pass the class. Only grades are 3 exam

Great professor, great topics, easy assignments & quizzes do not count against your grade. The only thing that will really affect your grade is attendance.

While I did enjoy him, I can't guarantee others will. He does not follow a textbook and does not update Canvas (purposefully). You must attend every lecture to gain information. His class will teach you a lesson in accountability. His lectures are almost entirely oral with the accompaniment of picture slides. He is pretty chill though.
