Reviews of professor Francesco Gagliardi

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took this course in Fall 2020 semester. The course content was not that fun, a lot of readings. Lectures were boring. Grading was quite hard.

I went to all of Professor Gagliardi's lectures even though I was not enrolled in the course because they were that good. Now, I am taking the course for credit. The lectures, which combine art history with philosophy, are worth attending twice. For assignments, the two papers build off of each other by involving the same reading.

Very talented lecturer and an expert in art history and the philosophy of art. The clear format of the lectures makes them easier to digest, but the material is challenging to those with no background knowledge.

Vague grading schemes and criteria. Very little direction to follow. Tough grader too. I also wish the lectures were hybrid as many other professors are doing so despite listed as in-person courses given the current situation. It was a bit inconvenient because if someone feels sick and choose to stay at home then they'll have to miss the lectures.
