College-Interesting Professor, attend lecture and section. -I really appreciate that at the end he doesn't make it dramatically hard to get a reasonable grade, he wants to see students succeed, at-least thats how I felt. At the end you can see how much he helps grade wise.
Really nice guy overall, his lectures just got really boring but unfortunately you do have to pay good attention to them. Great TA, which I think made the course super engaging. Content is obscure, super easy GE, even easier for my major course.
If you are taking this class only for a GE, do not take it, the TA's are tough graders and stingy with their grading. The professor himself is amazing, he engages with the students and tries to entertain the crowd during lecture, but overall the ones grading your work is those TA's. There are lecture quizzes every Ta section,hurts my grade 3# down.
I LOVED PROFESSOR WHITE! He is an amazing lecturer and I really enjoyed his class. His class is very easy to pass. His quizzes can be a bit hard but honestly the way it was structured was fair. Show up to section and lecture because he basically gives free points if you pay attention which helps. Highly recommend for GE class
Quizzes were so annoyingly hard. The questions had super random takeaways from his lectures, or really specific info from the long convoluted readings. not even chatgpt knew the answers a lot of the time. i also didnt learn a flipping thing! What the duck is a decorated shed? What the flip is a duck? His slides were utterly useless too. (quack)
Jeremy lied to me. On the first lecture I admitted my weakness in artistry to him, and he reassured me that drawing skills were not needed. Jerry betrayed my trust when the first assignment was largely drawing based. I felt humiliated and cheated.I didn't sign up for a drawing class. AND GET THIS. the 2nd project was also DRAWING. I. CAN'T. DRAW -E
