ARTHI141D . Paul C 6 Years Ago

If you're not an art history major, don't take this class with her. Definitely not for someone with little to no background in art history. Gives like 70+ images to memorize and only tests you on 4 through short answers and essays. Reader was $75 which you basically have to get as the questions were based off the readings. Terrible experience.

ARTHI141D . Paul C 9 Years Ago

Lectures are pretty boring, but Dr. Paul is really nice. Her midterm and final grading are only hard because you have to memorize 80 art pieces with their time/artist/name/collection but then you are only tested on 4 of them. Other than those 2 tests, there's a 5 page paper, but the topic makes it easy to get 5 pages.

ARTHI115E . Paul C 2 Months Ago

Dr. Paul is an amazing and passionate lecturer. Her classes are engaging and very interesting especially if you're an art history student. Lots of information to memorize, which could be expected for an upper-division art history course. I found the material to be captivating and enjoyable to learn.

ARTHI5B . Paul C 1 Year, 8 Days Ago

Professor Paul is, quite frankly, an awful lecturer. Her slides are completely useless pictures and nothing she says is written down. The one time there were words, she was rude about uploading them. I did 0 readings for the class, it's almost all common sense. Her attendance is also awful, a code at the end of lecture due 5 minutes after it ends.

Would not take for a GE. Asks way too much out of students when most are just trying to cover Area F. Lectures are mandatory and terribly boring.

ARTHI6B . Paul C 1 Year, 11 Months Ago

If you enjoy Renaissance/Baroque art, then this is a class for you, if not, find a different Art GE. 6B with Paul is a harder class than other ARTHI courses I have taken, even as an Art History major. Mandatory attendance and I felt that it was hard to know how to succeed and do well on essays and blue-book tests. If you're taking for a GE, don't.
