Definitely one of the best lecturers I've had, and he makes class interesting and fun. I wasn't into in history of architecture before this class, but he got me really interested in the subject.

The best lecturer I've ever had. He's articulate, knowledgeble, good with the powerpoint, and appropriately humorous. He puts the whole lecture on the website, slides and notes. You can get away without doing the reading, if that's your thing. Plus, like everyone says, he's easy on the eyes...it's a little distracting.

Dr. Wittman is a wonderful lecturer,one of the bests I have ever had.Very smart(Yale and Columbia graduate), knowledgeable(especially for French architecture), passionate and clear.He makes great connections between concepts and the subjects.However, very snobby(ivy league ****iness) and unapproachable. He is also very stylish and HOT, very hot. :(

He is a fantastic professor, my favorite teacher in the department. If you are an Art History major, he is a must. If you aren't find a reason to take one of his classes. He puts all the lectures online so studying for the mid/final is easy. Plus he is gorgeous!

118: He definately made this class much more interesting than any other professor could, he jokes around a bit and is pretty laid back If you go to all the classes you don't really have to do the reading and he posts almost all the info from class on the course website (like literally his entire lecture). Tests a little unclear, but not too crazy.

hands down the best art history professor at ucsb. take him! seriously he's helpful and makes the material far more interesting than it would be normally.

This was the best class I have taken at UCSB. The professor has immense knowledge about everything, and managed to make French architecture interesting. Take any class he teaches if you have the chance

Best professor I have had.It is obvious he loves what he teaches, and he loves answering questions.He is very approachable and is willing to help his students out with assignments and due dates.Easy final,short paper.He is totally adorable, nice to look at, which is definitely a plus.Take his classes because he really makes the subjects enjoyable.

Really nice guy....Yes like the previous comment..you definitely need to study and memorize everything he asks you to.

this class was really interesting...teacher seems intimidating but really isnt, kind of goofy guy but cool...requires A LOT of time devoted to studying...must memorize ALL buildings, dates, architects, and theres a lot!! as long as you can memorize well and write a good paper you should be fine.
