Tomengo is a genius when it comes to art. There are only 2 tests where you have to memorize stuff (hardest thing about the class) and 2 projects where you write your opinion about an artist (sounds hard, it's not). The rest of the class is lecture where he somehow finds stuff like aliens and sexual themes in 17/18th century art. Very entertaining!!

He's definitely one of the better teachers at SCC, but far from the best. He makes class fun, but I didn't really enjoy his class because many times his arguments were not really valid - also, he constantly makes unfunny, rude and sometimes obscene remarks and jokes. Over all, he's easy but not professional and not a teacher you'd expect in college

He is a good teacher, but personally a mess. He has no time for any of his students, you cant talk to him before or after as he is in a hurry and has no time for anything. He comes to class 10 mins late usually and he is a very baised person and you either love him or hate him. Unorganized.Bad essay choices too.Easy class overall, good experience.

I absolutely loved this professor. Mr. Tomengo gives helpful feedback, grades fairly, and gives very well done lectures. Not to mention he is very fun and energetic. Would definitely recommend him to another student. Not too much work, but be ready to seriously crack down on his papers. Overall, not a hard class, and a great professor.

Tomengo was such an entertaining professor. He is an incredibly knowledgeable man and gives you all the tools to success. All you have to do is put in the work to study the information he gives you. He is very funny and the workload may seem overwhelming at first, but if you learn the artwork bit by bit you will be fine. The 2 artist essays suck.
