Reviews of professor Rudolph Navarro

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
TOO MUCH WORK. signed up for in person class. showed up to lectures just to do all homework online at home.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
His online course was well set up and easy to follow but he assigned so much homework that hardly contributed towards your grade. The majority of the grade came from short papers which he graded extremely harshly with little to no constructive or helpful feedback. Why work so hard in a class all semester to be graded poorly and not know why.

Professor Navarro is encouraging, helpful, funny, brilliant, and by the time the semester is done, you will know the material! Isn't that the point? Lots of reading, but because of the pandemic, the class doesn't meet. Here's the truth: the quizzes, mid-term & final, are very straightforward, as are the assignments. Study, & you'll ace this class!

Navarro's lectures are fun and interesting, but there are mini 'pop quizzes' within the video lecture. As long as you're paying attention you'll be fine. The terms are hard to understand even with his feedback, and the papers are difficult to write because of it. He is very accessible when you need help.

Each week consists 6+ activities, 1 quiz, and 1 assignment that he grades. After a few weeks , the activities/quizzes do less than 1% to your grade. While the assignments do 10% , so if you don't write it the EXACT way he likes it you will be returned with a 0% and have to wait close to two weeks for him to regrade your re submission.

He is reachable at any time, and allows many retries on papers, but I despise the amount of work, with lack of direction, and if he doesn't think what you have written is good enough, he will just mark it as a zero, tanking your grade. I worried more about passing this than my foreign language.THIS SHOULD NOT GIVE ME MORE PANIC ATTACKS THAN SPA 201

I was tricked into taking this class and should have done more research on my end. I do not recommend taking this professor. This class has a heavy workload for a 100-level class, requires lots of reading, and he assigns a lot of homework every week. Not one of my science classes required as much reading or homework as this class. NOT RECOMMENDED

If you're looking for an art history class DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!! It's not a bad course, but not at all what was expected, it's almost like an ART PHILOSPHY class so get ready for highly complex ideas, lots of reading, and plenty of note-taking because I did not!

Put in a lot of work, barely scraped by with an A. Course was ridiculously obscure and grading criteria were ambiguous and relative. It honestly was a huge headache. Got very frustrated sitting through Navarro's material. He seemed really self-indulgent. He was rude and talked down to me in the communications we had. Not highly recommended.
