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.

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.

Entertaining and passionate professor who is easily accessible, although the course is pretty much as difficult as GE's get. Mandatory attendance, 2 weekly readings, bluebook essay midterm and final with upwards of 85 paintings that need to be memorized for each exam. Getting an A is definitely feasible, but will take a good amount of work.

So incredibly boring and gives no actual value to the taker. For this class you have to memorize the name, date, author, and original location for 80+ images along with having some background of each image. Doesn't post lecture slides and slides have no writing so to do well you have to pay attention constantly. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND
