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.

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.

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.

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.

Make sure you go to lecture bc his slides only have pictures on them so if you don't go to lecture you will have no idea what's going on. Even if you do go he is quite boring as a lecturer and lectures are hard to follow and confusing. 4 online quizzes, iclicker, a TON of readings, 8 page paper, and final- overall would not really recommend tbh

Dr. White is a decent lecturer. The material in 6A is rather dry, but White's grading criteria make it very easy to pass or ace the course. One paper, multiple online quizzes based off of pdf readings, mandatory lecture and sections, and an incredibly easy final exam.

first of all, he mentioned once at the beginning of the quarter that he *might* grade iclickers based on accuracy or *maybe* just attendance, then said nothing else about it and proceeded to grade them off accuracy. he is a very monotone lecturer, it is extremely difficult to pay attention in class but you will regret not taking notes, as I did.

His lectures are so boring so it makes it so hard to keep up. I literally would sit through class wondering what was going on. I wish he would be more specific for what's important because today is the final and I still have no idea. Plus! He would put barely any words on the slides. 8pg paper was difficult too, bc it was unclear how to write one!!

He is very lecture heavy and the slides he posted are mostly pictures. But the lectures are not very interesting to follow unless you are into art history. Do not recommend for GE.

Very boring lectures unless architecture is your thing. Slides have little text so you have to take a lot of notes. Generous grading, 4 online quizzes, 1 8pg paper (kind of challenging but manageable)1 final. Was able to keep my grade up until the final since I relied on the quizzes being opennote. Very nice & passionate professor just not my thing

Very architecture based. I enjoyed his lectures as he's knowledgeable and engaging, but there are hardly any words on his slides so you have to take meticulous notes. Iclicker questions based on readings/lecture. Dense readings. Fairly easy quizzes even if you skim. The paper is intimidating at first, but also manageable. Graded mainly by TAs.

Very dry lectures. Professor is very knowledgeable and passionate, but unbelievably monotone and boring. Wouldn't recommend this class. However if you love reading about architecture and the history of art through different countries- this is the class for you. He's actually quite generous his grading scale, but very risky...

This guy is incredibly knowledgable on the subject. He is an excellent teacher and does a great job explaining important topics. This is a very conceptual course and White will make you think more than you would like. Tests are open book and are not too difficult.

Amazing teacher. Super interesting, very passionate about his subject, and very willing to help you out or just talk to you. His lectures are great! Go to class, you'll fail otherwise. He's very dry humor. He asks you to think! Tests are open book, open note, so it's more about understanding the material and thinking about it.

Pretty difficult class. You can tell he loves what he does and he knows a lot, but he teaches like we already know the concepts, and can be unclear. Lectures are important but hard to follow. Tests are open book but EXTREMELY hard. Definitely not my favorite class, he's nice though.

Very easy class, as long as you attend. Type notes and write every word down. Laptops, books, and notes are allowed on tests.

Interesting class, lots of work. Reader is FAT. Exams are open book which was nice. I would reccommend this class to Art History majors (especially for the Arch requirement) but not for someone looking to fill a GE.
