WHITE J A
Prof. is funny and enthusiastic but sometimes rambles. Lecture attendance is not required although you will be quizzed on the lecture material and participation in section. One essay and one group project. Final and midterm were not difficult but I would recommend paying at least some attention to the readings and lecture. Overall good class/GE.
Lectures are very interesting, but the professor does ramble at times. Midterm was difficult but had a generous curve. Final was free. The class is graded out of 105% and loaded with extra credit opportunities. The first five weeks are boring but the last five are genuinely great. Do the weekly readings and your A will be confirmed.
Make sure you do the readings. As someone who enjoys art history, this class was so boring and going to class was a struggle. It is also super dependent on your TA and they are kinda allowed to make different rubrics and do what they want. It is made up of a midterm, essay, group project, final, section questions and section attendance.
Before entering this class, remember it's an art history course! You will be asked to analyze art forms in an essay and lectures at the beginning could be boring before kicking off into the fun stuff after the midterm. White is a fun, sweet man, and I personally enjoyed him. Pay attention in lectures because you'll be quizzed in mandatory sections.
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.
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.
