Pieter Broucke

Pieter is a great and enthusiastic professor. I enjoyed the class and the content, however, it is a large lecture based course without a discussion section. There are weekly reponse papers due based on the readings, and the occasional cold call. However, the grading is very fair and reasonable. The exams are largely memory based, however, Pieter is very fair in partial credit. If you do the work you will do well in the course!

This course offered an in depth overview of architecture essentially from the first signs of human construction up through the 20th century. It provided me with a lot of great background but was structured in a memorizing heavy way. Most of the exams relied on the ability to regurgitate dates and names in relation to any number of works that spanned thousands of years. Generally not too difficult if you do the readings (and daily response papers) and are willing to memorize, just time consuming.

A Global History of Pre-Modern Architecture is a rigorous course that details an abundance of different architectural styles and their development through mainly Europe. The course works as a fast paced lecture with 2 papers due a week (some focused on long readings, some on short) There are 2 fun projects throughout a semester, and 2 exams detailing everything you've learned before based on memorization.
