This class was not as fun as I'd hoped as it is a history class first and foremost. First half of the lectures very boring but as it got closer to present day it got better. 3 essays, 3 quizzes, and a final. All pretty easy and online. I would take as an easy GE, but it def isn't the most entertaining.

Content is based on lectures and readings, but not necessary to attend because he posts slides after each class (only pictures though). Short weekly quiz based on the lecture and readings. 3 essays (900-1200 words each), 3 online quizzes, and 1 online final exam.

Straightforward, boring lectures, but important to go and take notes to succeed in this class. Lenient grading on essays, easy quizzes. Section attendance mandatory, and beware of the lecture quiz questions in sections, they're sometimes tricky. White is an average lecturer but to his credit he's pretty chill and accessible outside of class.

lectures were boring, but i found it helpful to go especially for the papers that weren't graded easily. part of the final is a group project, it wasn't hard, just tedious work. most of the tests were multiple choice and take home, but the final had some short answer responses. section for this class was unbearable, but mandatory.

He gives dull lectures but will sometimes have fun interactive in class activities. The readings are interesting, quizzes will have the most random things in the readings and the lectures, but I would just skim through the reading to find the keywords. 2 papers with interesting prompts that allows for creativity. Fun final game design project.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

For only attending a handful of lectures this class was pretty easy to pass! Lecture quizzes are held in section so beware of that but the projects were fairly easy and fun! The class is a bit boring but it's an easy GE!

3 essays, 3 quizzes, and a final. All online but were difficult (cheating won't help). Quizzes mostly based off readings which there's a lot of and they're BORING. Lecture was equally boring but helped a bit on the quizzes. I'd take again and focus on the readings more.

Jerry is a fantastic professor. This is the third time I've taken one of his classes. I've taken big online classes with him as well but this class is a small seminar-style class. In either environment he's been a great lecturer and is very personable and helpful in smaller class settings.

Most ARTHI classes are usually a little too much work for them being 4 unit classes but Jeremy is a great professor and the class was often boring but sometimes interesting. I think your TA makes or breaks your grade tbh

its a lot of work but the professor lets you submit work multiple times for a better grade. grades quick so you don't need to wait until last minute and office hours are helpful

Jeremy is very knowledgeable and clearly put a lot of effort into designing this course. It was pretty abstract and dull, but that's personal opinion. Some bits were interesting and I appreciate his enthusiasm. Section was annoying but grading on quizzes and essays was pretty easy. I never felt bogged down with work, but definitely pay attention.

was able to get an A in class even though I only attended two lectures. Two fun essays with a lot of room for creativity and a quiz each week that was take home. Just look through the slides or the reading and you'd get at least 80% of it right. The slides he has barely has any words on them though just pictures so you had to decipher it yourself.

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.
