Reviews of professor Alexander Nagel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Alex is a great professor. People who are not in the Art History field may not understand his class or why things are the way they are, but he is overall very nice, passionate, and gives great feedback. He is not a tough grader, but you should try on assignments. You'll always have an opportunity to revise. He's also very nice and easy to talk to.

Nagel is a very sweet professor. He brings fruit for the class to eat breakfast every week. Sometimes meet at the MET for class. Super easy grader and gives good feedback.

Prof. Nagel is really nice and is very passionate about the subject matter, but I just didn't enjoy his lecture/teaching style. He focuses a lot on random information that isn't really necessary, but doesn't give a complete picture of the regions and art movements we discussed. If you are taking an AH elective, I would recommend taking someone else

Prof. Nagel is a very hard working prof. He is quick to notice when a student is falling behind. He offers excellent, (yet sometimes brutally honest) feedback which includes specific advice. He does not accept late work under any circumstance. He is well respected by his students and is incredibly well connected.

I had Prof. Nagel for Earth Matters: Art & Environment Ancient Egypt. He made his lectures pretty engaging by bringing in professionals that have to do with the topic we were discussing. Pretty clear grader & his assignments aren't hard/lengthy. Gave us 2 big-ish projects & gives opportunities for extra credit! Had a good time!

Very boring, if you have no interest in art history don't take this class. Absolutely brutal.

SO BAD!! This class had absolutely no structure and he didn't even have a syllabus. He even changed the entire course to be about women not art in new york and I was so disappointed. We went to the transit museum which had absolutely nothing to do with class. He was late pretty much every day and his grading was ridiculous.
