Reviews of professor Sean Nowicki

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
His classes are very easy and interesting. I took two different art history classes with him specifically because of this. He makes sense of the material and doesnt demand a lot from his students in terms of writing and participation. His classes are the ones I dont have to worry about and can just enjoy them.

Great teacher, has good lectures and is very knowledgeable about the subject. I took this class for units but I plan to take another class of his next semester because I enjoyed it so much. He can be a little hard grading, but he makes sure to outline exactly what you need to change and directions are very clear. Follow instructions, do well.

Professor Nowicki is kind, smart and personable. He wants his students to understand the material and succeed. He is very open to feedback and suggestions. I would readily take his class again.

I'd planned to transfer to an art school for a long time, but I was turned off by the thought of taking art history classes, as I've had really bad experiences before. Prof ignited a real appreciation for art history. Genuinely the best prof I've had, and I've bounced around from college to college a lot. Great, engaging lectures!

I find this a very reading/wrting intense for an arts class. There's a lot of things he mentioned that we need to know for the midterm but expect us to just "get" it. The paper is very laborious and the grading criteria is unclear. I spent 30+ hours on it but still got a C.

Each week consisted of roughly 2-3 lectures (20-30 minutes per lecture), lecture questions and quizzes. The book must be bought online through Pearson Revel, but have easy quizzes. There were a few discussions sprinkled in. There is also a Museum paper (min 2 pages). None of the work is too difficult. The final was a bit difficult but open-book.

Throughout the course, the professor often seemed uncertain about the topics being discussed, leading to confusion among the students. Moreover, there were instances where the professor's comments and discussions veered into questionable territory, making some students feel uncomfortable. I would stay away from this teacher to your benefit.

Professor Nowicki is a tough grader. But I improved my writing skills. Go to his office hours. He responds to emails fast which is great. I got full credit for responses once I understood what he was looking for, I found the instructions not clear at the beginning of class. Keep enough time to prepare and write, you will do well in his class.

Prof. Nowicki was an amazing teacher to have for my ARTHS class. My class was a late-start class and entirely online and the workload was very heavy, but Prof. Nowicki warned students of this. His lectures are very entertaining and informative. I would recommend taking his regular semester class if you don't want such an intense workload.
