ARCH 1010

The professor is awful. As my TA put it, "He speaks another language that you won't understand for a couple more year. Then everything he says will make sense." I just think he's a straight out of the looney bin. Paper with 20 or more diagrams due every week. However, TA's are helpful.

Hard to sit through class but makes you look at architecture in an interesting way

It was challenging, at times confusing, but nonetheless, poetic and liberating.

Bring your ipod and a tazer to class. They like modern art.

Honestly, I have no idea what he's trying to teach during the lecture, but he makes the students to think about the architecture in an intersting way. This class is not hard, but it's very time consuming and the grades are very arbitrary since TAs grade them all-if you are not satisfied with your grade, just go to his office hour and talk about it. Once again, be prepared to read and write alot as if this is an ENWR class.

a lot of writing (a paper due every week) but overall a good class.

This class is a great course to really open up your way of thinking about architecture. There's a paper due each Monday though, ranging from 2 or 3 pages to 7 or 8 pages. Be ready to write.

You write a paper every week. The lectures are useless, so are the readings.

Great class if you want to be an Architect. Too much work for dabblers.

Waldman teaches you to be the worst possible stereotype of architects. The reason everyone hates architects is because most of them are like him. What he teaches you has nothing to do with architecture, it is more of a philosophy class based on an acid trip he had a few years ago. You have to take it to be in the A-school, so most of you are screwed, but do not let it change how you think. Architecture used to be a respected field, don't let that change because of a class.
