Content is based on lectures and readings, but not necessary to attend because he posts slides after each class (only pictures though). Short weekly quiz based on the lecture and readings. 3 essays (900-1200 words each), 3 online quizzes, and 1 online final exam.

Straightforward, boring lectures, but important to go and take notes to succeed in this class. Lenient grading on essays, easy quizzes. Section attendance mandatory, and beware of the lecture quiz questions in sections, they're sometimes tricky. White is an average lecturer but to his credit he's pretty chill and accessible outside of class.

Jerry is a fantastic professor. This is the third time I've taken one of his classes. I've taken big online classes with him as well but this class is a small seminar-style class. In either environment he's been a great lecturer and is very personable and helpful in smaller class settings.

Most ARTHI classes are usually a little too much work for them being 4 unit classes but Jeremy is a great professor and the class was often boring but sometimes interesting. I think your TA makes or breaks your grade tbh

its a lot of work but the professor lets you submit work multiple times for a better grade. grades quick so you don't need to wait until last minute and office hours are helpful

Jeremy is very knowledgeable and clearly put a lot of effort into designing this course. It was pretty abstract and dull, but that's personal opinion. Some bits were interesting and I appreciate his enthusiasm. Section was annoying but grading on quizzes and essays was pretty easy. I never felt bogged down with work, but definitely pay attention.
