CollegeNice professor. Lecture is mandatory because she talks about the paintings which you would need to know for midterm and final. Final is cumulative. Must memorize 30+ paintings which isn't bad. Really enjoyed the class and loved art.
She's a nice lady, but the class is dull. She just stands in one place for the entire time and talks and talks and talks. Some topics about museums are interesting but most of them are boring. Be sure to study the images she posts up, including the dates! One midterm and a final, both composed of the same exact format and style. Talk to your TA!
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
Her class is wayyyyy too much for an GE. If you like European art, then this class is for you. Otherwise, avoid her ASAP as it will take more time to study than your major classes.
