ARTHI6F . Wittman R K A Month Ago

Only graded by two papers and midterm+final so no real homework. There are short readings outside of class but I never did a single one. The material is not easy and there is a lot of memorization, but it was really easy for me to pay attention since he's such a passionate and interesting guy. Will go out of my way to take a class with him again.

It was definitely one of the more difficult prereqs I've taken, but if you are prepared for lots of reading, heavy (and quick-worded) lectures, studying, and you really enjoy learning about architecture worldwide, I would recommend this course! Despite the exams being on the harder side of the scale, I learned quite a lot and had an awesome TA.

It is graded by 3 things, midterm, paper, and final (30% each) with 10% coming from attendance and quizzes from sections. Midterm and final are both fill in the blanks or multiple choice and essay. I got a 96, 94, 96 respectively. I am an art history student and I would recommend taking another class if only for GE or take is as P/NP.

soooo boring. the lectures are extremely heavy and they are mandatory. if you miss one lecture you miss like an entire unit because he doesn't post his slides. there's also papers on top of midterm and finals. DO NOT TAKE THIS GE

Prof. Wittman is a great speaker but his lectures are clunky. He's knowledgeable and passionate, but the course isn't structured very well. You will be memorizing A LOT of material for few exams. Memorize what he says and you'll be fine. Exams aren't curved much and he doesn't bump grades. I would avoid this class if you want an easy A.

It is so important to take notes for this class. I really enjoyed this class and I found Professor Wittman to be interesting and engaging!! I would recommend getting notion or another app where you can insert pictures with your notes. Attend all lectures and use Quizlet to memorize dates, locations and sites. It is very hard for a G.E. though...

If you have an interest in architectural history then Wittman is an excellent professor to take. His courses are lecture heavy but they are very interesting (personally, I find them enthralling). 142F was a new course for this quarter and he was a bit disorganized but I've taken several other courses with him and that's typically not an issue.

Lecture slides have little information on them, so be prepared to takes lots of notes (attendance is also mandatory). Had a midterm, in-class essay and final - midterm was supposed to be 5 IDs and two short-essay questions but he made it 15 IDs without telling anyone ahead of time. Getting a good grade is doable you just have to put in lots of work

142F was a new class and extremely disorganized. Wittman did not post the readings on time and was behind in the course materials. He was vague and unclear about what would be on the exams.

The professor exhibits an impressive vocabulary that is both helpful and strongly applicable for learning the course material. His lectures were beautiful, and his office hours help was very beneficial.
