Topic: art in california. Great class! Great professor! Super interesting and inspiring if you are interested in your current (or permanent) home state and its art history. Only 1 paper; 3 pages long. 1 midterm 1 final. Readings online. Sorkin is super cool, sarcastically funny, and lectured well. A great experience over all.

LOVED Professor McLemore! Learned a lot about different artwork in her class. Lecture attendance isn't mandatory but the exams are on what she says in class, so you will pass as long as you take notes and attend lectures. Section attendance is mandatory but TAs explain in great detail what was covered in the lecture. She has clear study guides!

Very sweet and accommodative professor. The lectures are a little boring as a non-arthi major. This was my first Arthi class and while I didn't enjoy it too much for the subject, it was clear how much the professor cared about her students.

If you are a student who values communication with professors, don't take her class. She is unapproachable, rude, passive aggressive and impatient. Additionally, any time I participated in class discussions or express an opinion I had about an art piece or text, she would take my words completely out of context and assume that I was bigoted.

This professor's lectures are some of the most boring and rambly, I've ever been to. When she talks about art she just uses buzzwords with very little direction. She also assigns way too much readings, work, which ends up piling on too much work for what should be an interesting GE.

speaks in incoherent sentences and seems to be more passionate about students leaving the lecture hall than the material taught

I found her energy very comfortable & likable. She interacted with the class a lot and gave great lectures, although sometimes felt unnecessary. Did a total of 5 papers including a group project slide show toward the end of the course. She's very keen on attendance and not leaving early. Came off strict at times. Learned more through section.

The lectures are terrible. They are just photos of art pieces that don't need to be shown. I learned more in the section than in the lectures.

Long lectures that do not relate much to the essays or group projects. So many tangents that are unrelated to the subject matter. However, if you're more than okay at essays I would take this class because that's all the grades are based on.

Easy class !! Outside of a handful of papers, your workload is next to nothing. Her slides are not easy to follow, but she's a great speaker so I highly recommend you attend lectures !! Group project was easy enough and not too time consuming.

Ultrawoke professor- her lectures are filled with her biased opinions on various subjects, as she rarely tries to be objective when analyzing something.Boring lectures and subject material too. after the final when I didnt show for the last pointless session (which was after my group presented), my class grade was docked a whole 2 letter grades. BS

Professor Sorkin is very passionate about her teachings, as she said herself, she would not be lecturing if the information was not important. Attendance is not mandatory however going to lecture was very useful when writing my essays & doing my group project.

Took ARTHI 6G to fulfill my F category, and highly recommend this course if you want something more chill yet still interesting in your schedule. Lectures were not mandatory, but very informative and interesting. A midterm & a non-cumulative final (both take-home) based on study guides provided + a fun final project were the only major assignments

Pretty easy class. Have to participate in section, do a few writing assignments, and you're good.

Professor Sorkin is a good professor. The class material was very interesting and we covered many artists in the course, especially women and people of color. I appreciated how helpful section was and the midterm and final were adequate, not too crazy. She is not the friendliest professor, but she was available for office hours.

The content in ARTHI 6G is super interesting and it makes for an engaging (while still pretty easy) GE. Study guides are provided so you know exactly what will be asked of you on exams, which makes them very easy as long as you pay attention. One final project as well but I found it more fun than difficult. Overall a solid course.

sorkin's attitude and teaching style make online classes with her a tire. can't imagine taking a class in person with her.

She hardly smiles. Too efficient to the point where she talks accusingly and has no patience. She gets a lot of things wrong in class and its hard to learn well. Little respect will be shown to you if you take her class

Professor Sorkin is very biased in her presentation of the course material, and while she tries to be "woke" she is not sensitive to delicate material and never puts content warnings when discussing these subjects. The majority of the course was non-objective, based on her personal opinions, and she was not interested in any other points of view.

This was my 1st upper-div class and it was easier than all my lower-divs. Shorter lectures and not too long readings. 300 word forum posts every week, no tests, and an interesting final project where you make your own art gallery. Highly recommend it for people needing upper-divs.

dont take her class. worst professor Ive ever had.

I think this class was awesome! I'm a bio major and I still enjoyed her teaching and lectures a ton. She is very helpful and super nonjudgmental when giving feedback. I would totally recommend her!

I'm an art history major and loved this class. Even non art history majors will love it. lectures are engaging and in the online format, you don't have section to attend, only weekly forum posts. Prof McLemore is super easy to reach out to and very supportive. Readings aren't too long and final and midterm weren't too bad! No long papers. Take it!

Dr. Mclemore is fantastic! With remote learning she creates a schedule that is very clear to follow. Her directions are extremly direct and easy to follow. If you do all the reading you shouldnt have any issues. The final project is fun and creative. Cant recommend her enough!
