If you enjoy Renaissance/Baroque art, then this is a class for you, if not, find a different Art GE. 6B with Paul is a harder class than other ARTHI courses I have taken, even as an Art History major. Mandatory attendance and I felt that it was hard to know how to succeed and do well on essays and blue-book tests. If you're taking for a GE, don't.

Entertaining and passionate professor who is easily accessible, although the course is pretty much as difficult as GE's get. Mandatory attendance, 2 weekly readings, bluebook essay midterm and final with upwards of 85 paintings that need to be memorized for each exam. Getting an A is definitely feasible, but will take a good amount of work.

So incredibly boring and gives no actual value to the taker. For this class you have to memorize the name, date, author, and original location for 80+ images along with having some background of each image. Doesn't post lecture slides and slides have no writing so to do well you have to pay attention constantly. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

Her class is wayyyyy too much for an GE. If you like European art, then this class is for you. Otherwise, avoid her ASAP as it will take more time to study than your major classes.

She is a nice person, but the class is unnecessarily hard. You have to memorize the artist, date, title, and location of like 100 paintings. Way too much work for a GE. Midterm and final are just all based on memorization and it is so much work to memorize so many things. Would not recommend the class. Lectures are hard to pay attention to

Passionate about the subject and so were TAs. There were weekly readings and some were a little hard to understand, but the lectures were where the information we were tested on came from. As long as you take good notes during lectures, do the readings, and study the study images and can write essays you should be fine. Take if u like European art.

This class has mandatory lectures twice a week AND THEY ARE EXTREMELY BORING. Expects you to memorize ~60 paintings (along with the artist, name, year, and location) to be graded on just 5 on the exams. No clear grading criteria on the papers. Take another GE if you value your time.

Class consists of continuous rambling during lectures that are boring unless you enjoy the subject, memorizing 60+ painting's titles, artists, dates, and locations and only being tested on 5 of them for exams, 2 papers (relatively okay), and useless notes that have no words! For your sanity, don't take this GE and especially this professor.

Lectures are long and boring with no writing on the slides, you have to memorize A lot of mundane artwork including exact dates. Carole is always grumpy and the TAs are harash graders. Grading criteria is unclear and directions for essays that have a lot of weight are blunt.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS FOR A GE!! This is honestly one of the hardest classes I've ever taken and the expectations are ridiculous. There are two papers which are not that bad. A midterm and final that are awful because you have to remember artist, name, location, date AND the overall story behind each one only to have a test on 5.

I already commented, and had more to say. This prof doesn't let you ask questions or even help unless you're in her honor section. She directly refers you to your TA so hopefully you get a good one. She was still lecturing and provided 15 more images to study the day before the midterm. Dismisses other religions.

this professor SUCKS- no assignments, just midterm and final. Had to memorize 80+ artworks, their titles, their artists, their date, and their original location just for five to be picked on the midterm. totally unhelpful and uncaring about students. Talked all lecture, no notes on slides. Also strongly religious-really weird.
