Reviews of professor Matthew Culler

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He taught my intro freshman writing course (art history theme) at UC Berkeley. We never looked at art (how??), only read long philosophy readings (reader was longer than upper divs), and on top of that he was condescending, rude, and interrupted anyone who tried to participate. It was a INTRO WRITING class but he refused to read work/give feedback

He has handouts he gives that have information for essay heavy test. He will call you out on not doing your work. Memorize artworks, dates, and do the readings. He's really rude, blunt (but not in the he's helping kind of way), and has an attitude problem. Type of professor your high teacher warns you about. Just go to class and read too. Good luck

If you are not an art major, this class will tough. We were only graded for two things which were the exams so if you messed up, wel.. The exams are around 60 to 70 questions, multiple choice, you had to learn about the history, who painted it, the year, relevant facts and such, so again if you are not really interested, this class class is tough

A lot of material is covered in class, as long as you show up, take notes, and read his outside readings then you'll be fine. I enjoyed everything he covered in class, had to study so much but his lectures are great.

I enjoyed his lectures and hes hilarious. I feel like if you dont take good notes youll not do well on the tests, but thats true of most classes

He expects more of you than other art history classes I've taken, but if you do your readings, attend the lectures, and make yourself a good study guide it's perfectly possible to get a good grade. His lectures can get a little dry if you're not that into art history, but they're very insightful. sometimes annoyed but bc people would come in late
