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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
Great class, even better professor. He engages the whole lecture hall, makes sure everyone understands, and makes the grading very clear. Easy A. One decently long paper, midterm was ridiculously easy, w the final being only a little longer. Will take classes with professor White again (:
The subject was fairly interesting but always seemed very long, could have been that it was a 9:30 am and lights were always dimmed. The readings were always very long but interesting anyway. Section was pretty easy, just show up to complete the weekly assignment and you pass. Midterm, one Chicago Style Paper, and a Final. Good professor overall.
Relatively interesting class and subject matter. Lectures are long and were pretty dry for the most part. He posts slides but the slides are mostly pictures so attending class to hear his descriptions/lessons is mandatory to do well. weekly sections with short assignments about weekly reading--not too bad. One midterm, one paper and a final!
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
