I LOVED PROFESSOR WHITE! He is an amazing lecturer and I really enjoyed his class. His class is very easy to pass. His quizzes can be a bit hard but honestly the way it was structured was fair. Show up to section and lecture because he basically gives free points if you pay attention which helps. Highly recommend for GE class

Quizzes were so annoyingly hard. The questions had super random takeaways from his lectures, or really specific info from the long convoluted readings. not even chatgpt knew the answers a lot of the time. i also didnt learn a flipping thing! What the duck is a decorated shed? What the flip is a duck? His slides were utterly useless too. (quack)

Jeremy lied to me. On the first lecture I admitted my weakness in artistry to him, and he reassured me that drawing skills were not needed. Jerry betrayed my trust when the first assignment was largely drawing based. I felt humiliated and cheated.I didn't sign up for a drawing class. AND GET THIS. the 2nd project was also DRAWING. I. CAN'T. DRAW -E

For only attending a handful of lectures this class was pretty easy to pass! Lecture quizzes are held in section so beware of that but the projects were fairly easy and fun! The class is a bit boring but it's an easy GE!

3 essays, 3 quizzes, and a final. All online but were difficult (cheating won't help). Quizzes mostly based off readings which there's a lot of and they're BORING. Lecture was equally boring but helped a bit on the quizzes. I'd take again and focus on the readings more.

This class was not as fun as I'd hoped as it is a history class first and foremost. First half of the lectures very boring but as it got closer to present day it got better. 3 essays, 3 quizzes, and a final. All pretty easy and online. I would take as an easy GE, but it def isn't the most entertaining.
