Professor White was really engaging with his lectures. He always brought students up to the front of class to demonstrate, and the class becomes really relevant towards the end. He posts the slides after class, but there is minimal text on them, mostly information comes from the mouth, so make sure to go to lecture.
Lectures were interesting but very little on slides so you'd have to pay attention or you miss important info, Jeremy took the time to learn everyone's name and talked to us before class so i appreciated that, easy to approach when you have issues, made difficult concepts easy to understand,
ARTHI 136C was amazing with Prof White! In-class group assignments were a great way to apply textbook to real life scenarios and the lectures were very interesting. Relatively easy if you do the readings and pay attention in class
His lectures are interesting but sometimes it is easy to zone out. His class was relatively easy if you pay attention to lectures and do the readings. Overall an interesting and not too stressful class if you just keep up with the assignments. Everything is outlined very well in the beginning of the quarter.
I'm a political science major who loved this class. Jeremey White is clearly talented and knows his stuff. Not only, but he brings a unique perspective and share so many unique and diverse architectures. I never though I'd learn so much from an art history class! I would say if you pay attention, you'll be fine.
This class is a great GE. The content is super interesting even though the prof is a little boring. I watched the lecture videos but never did the reading (only skimmed it for the weekly quizzes). Finished with an A+. One major essay and two projects. The TAs are pretty lenient on grading. Highly recommend!
Prof White was a boring lecturer. The concept of the class seems kind of interesting but I found that this professor made the content boring. There are weekly open note quizzes based on the reading, online lectures, and in class lectures. It just seems like too much work for a 4 unit class, imo. There's also a paper and a group project.
Took this in Spring 2021. This class is suitable for anyone. Concepts about games are very basic. Untimed weekly quizzes based on lectures. 2 papers in total. TAs are generous in grading. A final group project is to make a board game. They are simple. He also gives a 5% extra credit with a super easy matching quiz. Getting A in GE is easy and fun.
I took the class just to get GE's out of the way and it didn't sound very interesting but professor White's passion for and presentation of the materials made the class super interesting.
Took this over the summer. Lots of readings of lectures and such, weekly quizzes for 40% of your grade. I pass/no passed the class and we had a single paper. Interesting content. Not completely about video games, more board games/table top.
Good class, lecture presentations are way too long.
Took this class only for a GE. Wouldn't suggest it. A lot of reading, which is pretty dry unless you truly enjoy architecture. Lectures are scattered, confusing and often go on tangents that don't help. Prof is very kind and funny but not the best teacher. There's an extensive paper which you aren't fully prepared for, but tests are straightforward
Good professor. Lecture slides were terrible, because we had to read it on our own. But the video with the professor lecturing was very engaging.
Professor White is nice, but his class needs a lot of work. iclickers required, but points will be deducted if you answer some of them wrong. There's a 2000word essay and the course does not satisfy writing. Readings are dry and has almost nothing to do with lecture, but tests have detail questions of reading.
During a panicked pass time, I found the first writing GE I could, ARTHI 6J. Little did I know I would be taking one of the most well taught and valuable classes, with an exceptional instructor. Professor White is extremely knowledgeable and an overall fun person to talk to. Tests had some obscure questions, but nonetheless, excellent professor
Prof. White is an awesome guy who really knows his stuff about architecture, and can be quite funny with a dry sarcastic humor. Hes also very understanding, caring, and grades fairly. This seminar was fun despite the dry reading material and presentation project. I learned a lot about house museums; from their history, to their function. 10/10.
pretty easy! it is the second time for me to take his class, I really enjoy working with Jeremy.
For a class about games, it sure was a slog. Lectures were far too broad and unspecific. It seemed more like an archaeology class with a thin thread of games throughout. This was only his second time teaching it, so I'm optimistic the class will improve, particularly because he is very passionate about the subject, but maybe give it a few years.
I found ARTHI 6A to be fairly easy since I was interested in it. The sections have absolutely nothing to do with the lecture material, and very few grades come from section besides 1 paper and attendance. My TA was a nice grader so I got lucky with that.
I personally really enjoy his lecture! His a treasure! Test might be a little bit difficult, but this does not affect the fact that his an awesome, humorous and knowledgable professor!
Clear and interesting. Professor White is very helpful and nice. Do the readings.
Take this for an easy GE! He has 9% extra credit built in. There are online GS quizzes every week that are fairly easy, and you can find the answers in the reading. Otherwise, you don't really have to read. There's no midterm and the final is super easy. The essay is graded kind of hard though.
White was really nice but that's about it. His quizzes were mostly lecture based (and only one attempt) but his lectures were sooo hard to pay attention to. The final essay was difficult to write and had unclear instructions. There is just too much material in this course.
His lecture slides are just pictures so you have to go to lecture. The online quizzes are easy and 40% of your grade is just showing up to section and lecture and the class has 9% of extra credit built in so its an easy A. Final questions were reused quiz questions and questions he posted online. Easy GE.
