CollegeThe lectures and long and boring, but easy to digest. You can show up just long enough to take attendance and get away with simply looking up the websites of feature artists for the info on the two tests that make up the majority of your grade. Not challenging, and the professor herself doesn't teach. Guest artist presentations make up the course.
Art 1C you show up and get an A. Each week there is a guest speaker and that's the whole course.
This class was a joke. You either get an A or P for showing up to four presentations. I only ever went to one because I realized you could just submit your attendance online without having to be there. Take this for an effortless gpa boost.
Jennifer has an excuse almost every day for being in a bad mood. Her lectures are boring, and her class seems like a last minute put together thing. She has a weird way of grading group quizzes, although it is not hard to get an A in her class. She cuts students off when they try to ask a question and is brutal towards them sometimes. Not pleasant
