Reviews of professor Andrew Ward

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Ward is an excellent professor who makes the subjects interesting but still accessible; you don't have to be an expert to feel like you can have a good conversation about subjects in his class. Easy to reach outside of class and usually very understanding of any issues or delays in projects/papers. Focus on the paper readings and you'll do well.

Definitely take intro or social psychology with Ward if you can!

I could tell he was passionate and experienced in the field, but class put me to sleep. For this class, each slide had a picture with the essential exam information: Date, Piece name, location, etc. He talked about the significance of each piece which was also on the tests. Grades were only: Attendance, Mock Grant Proposal, Midterm, and Exam.

This is a great class if you want to improve as a writer. Prof. Ward gives thorough, serious feedback on all assignments. He'll nitpick when reviewing drafts but grades generously. The subject matter can be a little esoteric but he really knows his stuff and his enthusiasm is contagious.

SO funny and not only invested in the subject matter (with a lot of first or direct second hand experience), but also really invested in his students.

He's a really chill dude but still engaging and loves what he's doing! He's funny and wants his students to succeed so is super flexible and provides bunches of extra credit

Professor Ward is excellent and extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter, as well as being a generally great person. He spares no effort in trying to help every student not only succeed but truly understand and appreciate what he is lecturing about. I cannot recommend him enough.

Professor Ward makes the material really easy to understand and connect with, even if you don't know anything about art or the Romans. He's a great lecturer! The tests are fine as long as you study and pay attention in class, and the writing assignment was easy. Definitely take his classes!

Like all art history classes, memorization is key, and starting to memorize the terms early will help. There's a midterm (over 50 items), final (over 60 items), and a mock grant proposal on essentially a topic of your choosing at a minimum of 7 pages. Professor Ward is incredibly helpful outside class, grades fairly, and never left me bored.

Lectures were so fun to attend and informing. Did not just read from the slides. Actually, enjoyed the material and teaching. Final was similar to other exams and not too difficult.
