ART1A . Taschian H J A Month Ago

I enjoyed a lot of the lectures and actitivies in this class, but there's way too much busywork for how little you learn. My biggest issue was with the 5-6 pages summaries you need to write every week. It's easy to recieve low scores for stylistic nitpicks like sentence variety, so you have to waste a ridiculous amount of hours fine-tuning them.

Really nice lady but poorly structured class. Weekly 4-6 page essays and two field trips to LA- one required. Lectures had very little bearing on the course itself but attendance was mandatory. Sections were just sitting around not speaking and waiting for it to be over.

Took her as the last GE to graduate in spring. She forgot to switch my section at start of quarter and was content to fail me for turning in work to “the wrong TA”. TA didn't help + denied my participation until I emailed the department head with proof. Not a bad person just lack of awareness. Nearly cost me grad school + future. Not worth the risk

3-5 page paper due every single week with a 10 page research paper final. So much work for no good reason, but really easy grading if you turn everything in and meet the page requirements. Lectures are pointless but attendance is mandatory as they'll drop your grade a whole letter if you have to many absences. Easy grading but wouldn't do it again.

lecture was ok but tons of reading, oh and she told me after the quarter ended she did not accept my final paper because it was late (even thought I got an extension) and gave me a C out of mercy?

She lives in LA, so she doesn't really come to do lectures. She just does it over zoom in the lecture hall. Nobody pays attention in class because 1. She's on zoom and 2. She's very very boring. I think she's been
