If you are not a Art History major I do not reccomend this class. There is three grades for the class the midterm and final follow the same format of 3 essays and mcqs within an hour. There is so much content in the class with little to no feedback from the professor on how to improve. It is extremely difficult to follow the timeline of events

Do not take this class if you are looking for an easy online course. The midterm and final are in person, even though the rest of the course is online. His lecture videos are unintelligible voiceovers with pictures in the background, no words or slides. Half of what he says is in improperly translated Italian or French, impossible to take notes.

I took two of Prof. Wittman's classes last quarter and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. The classes are no walk in a park, haha, but they are far from impossible. He is an engaging and interesting prof. although the lectures can become dense and daunting. Definitely take his courses if you are at all interested in architecture.

He is a good guy. But an impossible professor. His tests are so difficult. I did all the readings, and payed attention in every class. Still got a D. The questions on the test make little sense. You'll be doing a lot of comparing of two buildings. You have to come up with things on your own, chances are you will be sorely wrong. I would avoid.

Wittman is awesome. His lectures are like listening to someone tell a story so the material is actually presented in an interesting and memorable way. He is really passionate about the subject matter and knows the topics really well. I would really like to take another course with him.

DO NOT take this course for an easy online GE. Two Midterms + Final IN PERSON. Exam material is WAY too difficult for a non-architecture major. Professor Wittman is very hard to reach outside of class, and has very niche stuff from online lectures on his exams. Too much studying is required for a GE. Had to change to P/NP.
