Reviews of professor Herbert Hartel Jr

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Going to be completely honest, if you need to take this class, take it. But if you're someone who is neurodivergent, don't take this class. If you have a troubled home life, don't take it either. I expressed my concerns to this professor only to be told something on the lines of, "sounds like a you problem". Just, wow. ZERO empathy.

I just spent an elective course in this class. Unexpectedly, he always assigned super difficult homework. The teacher just kept talking about slides. Any relevant knowledge is roughly summarized. This is very disappointing to me.

Seriously I don't know why the rating for this professor is this low. I personally enjoyed the class. I get Art History is not for everybody and it can get boring at times, but Professor Hartel is super understanding, as long as you show up to class and participate. The syllabus couldn't be any clearer. He's really knowledgeable about his subject!

ARTH247(option not available). I have taken many ARTH classes before and enjoyed all of them, except this one. There were 3 small papers, Midterm test, Observational paper (MET visit) and Final test. Everything written he gave no feedback and if he did not like what you wrote he grade on. Syllabus had false info. He makes inappropriate jokes...

I've taken his intro to ancient art class before, both for credit, and I regret taking this one too. His style of teaching is /not/ friendly to those who may struggle with focusing on spoken lectures; especially if you may have a hearing problem or if English isn't your first language. Makes jokes that go from awkward to uncomfortable.

Work was to be expected of an art history class. Would not recommend unless you are serious about learning. You have to take thorough notes and try to read the text book. If you are good at studying you will pass his tests. Study guide was not too bad. Pay attention and you will pass. He does make a few inappropriate jokes .

Do not take him, take another elective. If you are not a art major dont take him. He gives 4 essays and 3 exams. Exams aren't bad but the essays he gives is ridiculous. He expects us to write about art when he doesn't really teach or say what he wants in the paper. He will give you a low grade if he doesn't agree what you write or say.
