CollegeThis whole class was pretty much based only on the lecture notes you take. He only puts up the paintings and some key words on the slides and the rest is all based on what he says (and he talks super fast) so you kind of have to speed write everything down. If you don't take excellent notes you won't do good on the midterm and final.
Mark Meadow is very clear on what he expects from his students. 107A has a lot of religious references but definitely not overwhelming for those without prior knowledge. His exams are very straightforward but his lectures may be boring repetitive due to the nature of the subject. This was for summer, so he might be different during the year.
The Reader is supplementary, so do not bother buying it. Everything that you need to know is in the lecture and he gives you A LOT of information. Also, he takes attendance before lectures and that is a part of your final grade. Show up, take notes and you'll do fine.
Mark Meadow is the man. This class was pretty interesting and his exams were fair. You have to know dates really well and listen to every detail. We didn't study a lot of images since he spent so much time on each one. Meadow knows A LOT about what he's teacing.
Prof. Meadow is the best.. we only had a midterm and a final and an extra credit project, all were very clear and fair, you could even say easy. the class actually ended up being very interesting and i learned a lot
He was a great professor, always there to help any student in need no matter what their question was he was there to provide feedback give the best help possible ! Homework was very straight forward and was very easy if you pay attention.
