ARTHI6H . 1 Year, 11 Months Ago

lecture material was very important, readings were easily manageable and the midterm grading was so chill! as long as you go to class you'll do great, though lectures can be really boring. midterm, research paper, final, and extra credit for seeing the campus art museum.

I liked Professor Boswell's lectures a lot, and her readings were not too long, and relevant. The overarching project was a decent amount of work, but doable if you space it out and don't cram like I did. Overall would recommend for a pretty easy GE.

Make sure not to feel anxious about this class. Especially for most students who only have three classes, this class is given too much homework. If it is a compulsory course, it is recommended to choose other courses or communicate with the school to apply for a course change

ARTHI6H . 2 Years Ago

This class was very enjoyable to me since I like art history. Professor Boswell carried out great lectures; easy to follow and included pictures and videos. There are writing assignments on top of a midterm, but nothing was hard. As long as you did the readings and attended lectures it wasn't hard to understand the concepts. Great GE!

ARTHI6H . 2 Years Ago

Maybe it was because it was online, but I found this class super boring. Lectures felt very unorganized and slides were basically just photos so you had to go to class to get all the information. Luckily, tests were easy as she gave the essay prompts ahead of time, but still would not take again.

I took ARTHI 6H online but it was really interesting! Tbh you can get by without doing all the readings, section is helpful and the class is overall good. We had one bigger project spread out over the course of the class. Midterm and final were not too bad but a little difficult. We did an awesome close-looking exercise and saw artifacts in person.
