The fascinating master has an outstanding understanding and passion for Chinese culture. If you are someone who likes to use a computer in class, you will miss out on the fun of this lesson.

ARTHI134C . Sturman P C 2 Years Ago

hardest grader I've ever had. I took this for an Art GE and it ended up being one of the hardest classes. He grades very harsh and the grade points don't have much of a range (ie he grades out of 3 or 4 and even one point deduction will result in a B or C). He is a very unpleasant person in general and the class is extremely boring. do not take.

Not exactly an Easy A class. He's extremely critical with a subject which is extremely subjective.

Professor Sturman has a laid-back, coolness to him. His lectures are knowledgeable and interesting. He would include side stories that added to the art and culture. The class structure is easy: weekly T/F quizzes, bi-weekly analyses, and a final paper. Reading before each lecture. No midterm or traditional final. Interesting, manageable class.

It is easy to get good grades. The class is interesting and kind of easy. But professor stuntman is not the kind person to get along with.

Weekly quizzes, make weekly powerpoint presentations, interesting topics and great speaker. I don't know what is up with the poor comments.
