Reviews of professor Michael Ano

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Michael Ano was probably the worst teacher I had at UCSD. I never understood what the class even was supposed to teach us, he would just show us clips from random things like "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" and then ask us to talk about it. None of what he assigned or showed us had to do with the subject. I would not recommend this professor.

This class made me feel like I was back in high school with literally all the busy work in the world. I honestly didn't learn anything except that he feels as if all the students in his class are liberal arts or non-stem majors because he assigns so much pointless work. Would NOT recommend taking him if you're a stem major.

The class was about art, and he made it fun, but the lectures were a lot of the same thing. I would say you don't need to go, but he occasionally takes attendance. All the work is on the TAs, so I never went to his office hours. He's a fun guy, and pretty easy to pass.

One of my favorite instructors. He encourages engagement and creativity very well and is an all around great person. I feel I have learned a lot and was not too overwhelmed, he also gives great feedback.

Anos lectures are so lively and fun. We pretty much analyze art for an hour and a half. This leads to great conversation and eye opening observations. The writings are fairly simple. In the past, weve had to describe a painting and compare two images for our writing pieces.

Professor Ano genuinely cares about his students and encourages participation and critical thinking. He is very energetic and still has that eager attitude towards teaching that many professors lose or do not have. Overall, he is a super cool dude, the workload is very easy, but the lectures feel little pointless sometimes.

He is very energetic in class and encourages interaction. Def great choice for those interested in course materials.
