Reviews of professor Nathan Tonning

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Tonning was very professional and cares about his students. The Zoom classes were optional, but he gave more in-depth explanations of the homework during the Zoom and we were allowed to ask questions. Lots of textbook readings, but overall the essays and discussions were fun and I learned a lot from this class. I would recommend!

I found the textbook to be inadequate for the tests and quizzes taken. My peers and I had to turn to outside resources in order to answer our questions. Mr. Tonnin is also not a very timely responder, taking two or more weeks to respond in many cases. Some of the discussion posts in the Q/A hub are still unanswered.

I took art appreciation online (asynchronous) and Professor Tonning organized it very well. Every week he laid out exactly what he wanted us to do and all assignments were very clear. We are assigned textbook readings and quizzes every week so that takes a little while but since we are given a week to do it, it was never too strenuous. Recommend!

A fine class, and a good teacher. I was unclear on the assignments often until the week before they were due, but in the end it always seemed like I got them done on time. The class is super guided, you never get to decide what you're going to make, you're told what you are (although you can make your own spin). Go into the lab often, it helps.
