Reviews of professor Matthew Worsnick

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you enjoy listening to unstructured lectures that never cover the entirety of the material that you are still expected to know on exams and never having any content-related questions answered, take this class. As an art history major, I can tell you this is not how an art history class is done, a seminar, maybe, but not a 40 people lecture.

easy grader/nice guy, but lectures are super boring. attendance in class and reading readings is mandatory, or you won't do well in class discussions. also weekly drawing assignment is a pain for non artists although it is basically a grade for effort not ability. if you are not super passionate about archicecture do not take this class for AXLE.

Definitely one of the best HART professors. Passionate and always willing to talk with everybody about Arch. He could literally stare at a building and talk non-stop for half an hour. Lecture slides may be a bit disorganized in terms of chronology but I guess it's on purpose. Grading not tough. Emphasize: One of the best.

Really passionate about NY Architecture. Reading discussion is 20%, they get better as sem goes on. Prof. Worsnick's lectures clarify them as well. Grading standards aren't clear but he grades easy enough it doesn't matter. EC for using writing studio. No essay prompts, you have to research/decide a topic yourself. Short essay word counts are nice.

Modern architecture with Worsnick was so disorganized. The lectures were boring and he would go off in tangents, and he also is very unhelpful in office hours. His grading criteria is vague too. He may be a good professor in other courses, but do not take Modern architecture with him at any cost unless you need to for some major requirement.

awful just awful. Most unstructured class I've ever taken. Expects you to draw every week, even though most people who took this class were not aware drawing was a requirement for it, and a good portion do not have the skills to draw. Does not answer questions directly and answers your questions with a question. Lectures are all over the place.

Professor Worsnick's class is always enjoyable to attend! He is so knowledgeable about everything in the history of architecture, and sometimes link architectural movements with the poems and art of their contemporary. Professor Worsnick is also very caring and kind, and always willing to help. He also actively listens to the students' suggestions.
