Reviews of professor Micah Rutenberg

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I was pretty lucky to get Micah as a professor. Micah gives work that was challenging throughout the course. He may seem unapproachable, but Micah does care about the well-being of his students. His instructions can be rather vague and studio talks can be a bit of a drag, yet from time to time he does have some interesting to discuss.

I am very happy to have had Micah for my first architecture studio. He makes you think in ways you never would and there is a bit of mystery to his feedback so you never know what he truly wants, therefore you make decisions for yourself whether good or bad. I think Micah has built a strong foundation for my architecture education

Micah was the worst studio professor I've ever had. He has no respect for students, is completely inaccessible outside of class, and his projects are extremely tedious. He doesn't care about his students' lives outside of class; he demands that students buy very particular materials that end up being extremely expensive. He's impossible please.

Micah is a very abstract professor for the first year team. Overall, he was very understanding when the pandemic hit and gave good feedback for projects. One of the projects was a team project that was very tough but he gives a good foundation for the rest of your architectural education.

It took time to adjust to Micah's teaching style, but he is a very good studio professor and cares about each of his students and wants to see them succeed in his class and life. He is very understanding about his projects and really appreciates effort so always try your best to bring something into class even if it's wrong. Feedback can be vague.
