Do not take her class. Even if you paid full attention and lots of efforts in this class, as long as you make one or two mistakes in the final, you gpa will be ruined. Ridiculous grading system and very harsh grading system. My friend says this two-unit course is even harder than his other physics classes. He is a student who has a gpa over 3.9.

Horrible! She acts as if tho college students need to be treated like they are middle schoolers. She chases after people trying to leave class, disrupts lecture and practically jumps over students to get them off their phone. She tries too hard and gets no where. Never ever again

She was alright. Tests were very easy. Her lectures were a little disorganized occasionally which was frustrating. She seemed caring and willing to help. There were some pretty long readings, but only a couple of questions per test were from them.

I learned far more from my excellent TA Colin than I did from the professor's lectures. They are rarely interesting and she forces you to attend by making attendance 10% of the grade. My biggest qualm was her tendency to stray across disciplines and consistently get the science and even history that she was teaching completely wrong.

Professor Sorkin was hilarious! She gave very interesting lectures with information you can use outside the class. 3 short papers, midterm, final, iclicker. At the beginning of each test she said if you attended lecture youll probably get an A. I would definitely take this class.

Jenni is my favorite professor I have had this far at UCSB. She is extremely insightful in her lectures and makes art history really exciting to learn about. Overall a pretty easy class as long as you go to class. Only 3 short papers, easy midterm and final, and iclicker.

I highly recommend taking this class with Prof. Sorkin. She made the material easy to understand and very interesting. Attendance isn't mandatory but go to lecture as most of the material tested in the class are from her lectures (3 small paper, midterm, final) She made every lecture very fun! Class is an easy A if you pay attention and go to class

Really easy class if you just show up and take simple notes. No textbook, just readings that she posts online, but even those aren't too difficult. She calls you out if you fall asleep so just don't do that

Before this class I found no interest in art & didn't really understand it. Prof. Sorkin really made this class interesting and relevant to our world today. I loved how passionate she was about it and how she lectured. If you have respect for art and are interested in modern day issues in our culture its a great course.

Take this course with Jenni! She gives amazing lectures and all test materials come straight from the slides. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you go and sit through the lecture while taking good notes you probably won't even have to study. Just listen and asks questions. Midterm and final are easy.

Take 6C if she is the Prof. no books, only pdfs with three very small writing assignments. If you go to lecture and actually listen you can easily get an A. She has a good sense of humor and organizes lectures very well.

She is not very approachable. She does not seem to like students very much. I mean, why teach if you cannot be helpful to your students? I approached her several times about my papers and exams but she was very stand off. Class is interesting sometimes but can get really boring. Overall, don't expect to get help from her.

She's pretty clear, but could be hard to approach. She's not too friendly to students especially if they're not an Art major. 2 assignments, midterm, and a test.

Very interesting material. Makes it clear that she is there for the Art and Art History majors, and offers to help student artists. Includes diversity in her selection of artists - especially of LGBTQ artists. The amount of work put it is exactly the grade you get. Assignments involve attending art exhibits outside of class, but are on-campus.

Took her contemporary art class, it's straightforward and not too hard. Unfortunately though, sorkin can sometimes be pretentious and defensive to criticism. She likes to talk down to students, esp. non art and arth majors

Great lecturer. Did not buy books, don't need them. First class she taught at UCSB, and I loved her! Also my first art history course, it was very easy! Would recommend, i learned a lot and didnt have to struggle through like most other courses.

Great lecturer, took notes did not need to study much. First art history course and I did well. Two assignments, local and free. Did not use book. I recommend.
