willing to help you if you don't understand. go to class and take notes. easy.

Very nice women, must attend class to get good grades. Drops one test.

go to class for a good grade, helpful when you go to her

has a combination of funny accents, makes it difficult to listen to.... go to class, and you'll probably do fine!

Interesting art class, very nice teacher, dont talk in class! she'll pin point you. Tests are just memorizing facts like dates/titles etc. not hard if you study. 1 paper. 1 essay, not hard. Dont buy book, you really dont need it-just go to class.

class is easy... just know your slides and the history of them. study what she tells you to and the tests are a piece of cake

her test a easy but you have to take good notes directly from lectures. She doesn't write much on the board, and she talks very fast.

though lectures can be hard to sit through at times, class is interesting. i enjoyed it. tests are alright, easier to study for if you go to the lectures. grades easily on the essay (only 3 pages) to insure a good grade probably should read book

Essays aren't that bad as long as you do the readings and have a good idea what they're about. She's very nice, pleasant, clear in lectures; there aren't any surprises or tricks in exams as long as you take good notes & do the readings.

she's a good teacher although the lectures are REALLY boring. good luck staying awake. either pay close attention to the lecture or do the readings and you'll get at least a B. 1 easy paper, 3 midterms (drop the lowest grade), and a final.

Nice lady but lectures are boring. It's not hard but you have to know the slides well to do good on the test. Don't really need the book if you pay attention in class. Three tests, drops the lowest, one paper, and one final

Go to class, pay attention or read the book and this will be an easy class. Do the outside readings because you will have to write essays on them, but very easy essays. one paper, 2 midterms and a final.

you'll learn interesting stuff about the paintings but i had the class at 8 a.m. and it was like pulling teeth

Be prepared to study like it's a grad class. lots of slides and outside readings. interesting lectures, but a lot of work.

Really good professor, her lectures are not boring, but interesting, you will learn a lot, just pay attention and take good notes.

nice teacher. prepare to study like crazy. a lot of slides you have to remember. this is not an easy A class. 4 exams, 1 paper. she drops the lowest exam. you think it'll be easy but her exams are pretty detailed. you have to read and go to lectures.

Great teacher but not a memorable personality. Easy to fall asleep in 8 AM class. She made the class ridiculously easy. Go to all lectures and read excerpts from book regarding just the slides from class and you will do well. requires a lot of memorization for each slide.

i love this class. the teacher rocks! It's a lot to memorize but if you follow along and don't miss any class you should be fine

Very easy class if you do keep up with the readings. Gives out good study guide and gives list of the essay questions on each test and picks two for the actual test, so as long as you write those in advance your golden.

take good notes and study if you want to get an A. book isn't necessary if you go to all the lectures. williams is nice enough, but can get a little over dramatic when she catches someone talking while she's lecturing. the good thing about this class is that you know all the work you're going to have to do beforehand. there are no surprises.

I would have appreciated more of a social-historical approach to the subject matter with less emphasis on formal elements. Other than that, I enjoyed the class. I never want to see another madonna and child again.

Tends to go off-topic at times, but other than that, she knows quite a lot on art history. Take notes at lectures and read the book (there's info there that's not mentioned in lecture that will be on exams). Recommended for morning people (class time is usually at 8:00 AM).

Fairly decent class. Take notes!! Books are very helpfull for essay part and cramming, but most everything on tests come from her mouth. Doesnt take roll but you'll screw yourself if you miss too much. Term paper is 6 pages for undergrad, and 15 for grad. Anal about talking during lecture. Final is really LONG and drawn out. Study!!

she is really boring but the class is really easy! if you go to lecture and take good notes you will get an A (without ever opening the book). you get to drop a test score which is nice and can really help your grade out. One museum paper is required and its a little harder...but its still a good, informational, and easy introductory course

I took 575 last semester and thought she was a pretty cool teacher. Her tests are easy (mtlpe choice) + one 6 pg paper. She is very smart and knows a lot about the pieces, which is nice. I didn't really like this time period though, so the art was not interesting to me.

very easy listening, not boring at all. Extremely interesting class with fairly easy exams

she is so knowledgable about the topic, her lectures are very interesting. just take notes. the research paper wasnt bad, just start working on it early or else all the books in the library will be gone the night before its due. great class!

Art was a boring subject to me, until I took this class to fulfill the GE req. Dr. Williams is an excellent teacher and really knows her art! Very interesting and she is a bit liniant on the tests since there is no essays just 3 multiple question tests and a final since its a big lecture class. If you havent taken a lecture class this is the one!

Very smart lady. I really respect her and enjoy her lectures. I especially like that she is very down to earth, whereas some teachers can be very impersonal (especially when they are phD status). I would recommend her to anyone.

Awesome professor !!! I am not an art major and her classes make you feel like you are. Very clear, lectures are not boring and she knows her stuff. She loves art and don't expect anything less. I took both her art 259 and the art 575 and did well in both. She is helpful and wants to see students do well. Take this class for GE or for a major !!

I took Dr. Williams for Norther Renaissance Art. It's a great class if you're interested in the subject. She's always helpful and willing to clarify. Exams are easy if you really pay attention in class and take good notes.

I took her ART259 which I totally loved, and continued to take her ART573 and I got A in both. I know her 200 classes are very early, but you've gotta attend her class! Her interest shows really well in ART573 class, and it was really fun to get to know the stories behind each art. Tests are based on lecture, which is why attendance is mandatory.

Dr. Williams seems to come off as a strict teacher, but she actually is really helpful and nice. Her tests are definitely hard, and require a lot of studying and memorization. I took Art 258 along with this course and felt that it was a lot easier, especially the tests. Although, her essay assignment was easy. Overall definitely a challenging class

Dr. Williams is very nice and helpful. She is very enthusiastic about art history and it shows. Her tests aren't too difficult as long as you study. It requires a lot of memorization. There are four tests, she drops the lowest score, and one gallery paper. You will earn the grade you deserve if you put in the work and effort.

I like her and feel she is very knowledgeable in the subject of art. I did think that her ART573b class was really hard! I also believe her tests are way harder than they need to be, a lot harder for me than her European art history course. Williams is a very nice woman and I feel she explains things really well it's just her tests are dizzing!!

She is one of the most helpful professors I have ever met. Very very helpful!!

very very very nice and helpful. When I was confused she explained it real nicely. Make sure after each lecture you make flash cards regarding what was taught. I prolly end up with an A. Book is helpful in clarifying everything. She drops lowest test score, and final is mandatory and a simple 3-4 page paper is due.

Class was way too early for me but nonetheless, i attended everyday and through lecture alone, the class is VERY easy. never bought the text and did well without. only 3 tests and a rather easy essay. interesting class if you enjoy art!

Williams is a pretty good instructor. You will do well as long as you study. All you need is to study off of flash cards and you will get a B at least. Her lectures are to the point and are informative.

Loved her! Kept me awake even at 8 in the morning. Pretty easy class. Attendance not at all mandatory. 3 exams (lowest grade dropped), 1 final, and 1 gallery report essay. Very nice and helpful, always available for office hours. Quick grader! Great choice for a GE class!

Class was alright, i mean of course it was boring, its art history. 2 exams and one essay. just study the slides for a bit and you can pull off a high B. She was really helpful when i went into her office hours so she could look at my term paper, before turning it in. I would try and avoide the class because its boring but it's not unbearable.

very helpful & understanding. She let me turn in the museum paper the day before the final because of some things I was going through.At times class dragged on but for the majority it was interesting to learn about.1 paper,2 MC tests (memorize the slide lists!), and some small online assignments (EASY). would def. recommend, and book not necessary.

very helpful professor, shes great one on one and always seemed to let people know she was willing to coming in on days that weren't on her normal office hour schedule. I had very litlle interest in this class coming into it but now Im really glad I did. Art History is really fascinating!

Was not interested in art history but somehow the slides she went over where interesting. I fell asleep a majority of the time. One museum paper if you want a better grade she lets you redue it. Recommend the class just memorize the slide list!

Print out the slide lists and take notes on what she says in class, and then do the online hw. Study those 2 things and your almost guaranteed a A-,B+. Theres 3 tests and 1 museum paper, really easy stuff.

Don't buy the textbook. If you go to class and pay attention, and study the slide list you'll be golden. There is one essay but she's an easy grader. I got a B in the class which is pretty average I think. An A would be possible if you study hard.

You were only allowed to miss three classes and then your grade started to drop. She's pretty easy, but sometimes you do the assignment exactly as she says and you still don't get a great grade. The assignments are time consuming but there aren't very many of them.

She's a very interesting teacher! She has a european background and passion for art history! Take her class if you are really interested in Art!

This class was easy. If you can, pay attention during her lectures because a few of her lecture points show up on the exams. Only gripe I have are her exam essays. She crams way too much in them. Don't worry about pulling all the separate art pieces into a cohesive essay. Treat it more like a short answer portion, she just checks for key words.

Pretty easy class if you're willing to put in some work. Tests are strait forward and easy to pass, but not easy to ace. A lot of fact recall on tests. Weekly online tests make up a majority of your grade, and those are easy to get 100% because you can take them twice and she gives study guides. Overall simple class.

Very easy course. But be prepared to do a lot of reading and sitting through her online lectures. Her tests were easy (if you've done what I mentioned above). She's an easy grader on her essays as well.

She loves to talk and the lectures were hard to sit through. Her tests are rough too, because she talks so much there isn't clarity of what is going to be on them so you have to know a ridiculous amount of work. Upside-little homework. One museum paper. Easy if you really study for the exams.

I took the hybrid version of art history. It was my first time with an online class. Take good notes and you'll be fine with the tests. There were a lot of assignments from short quizes online to a museum visit with a paper. The good thing is the quizes can be retaken and you can always get 100% the second time around pretty much.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU WANT AN EASY A WITH LITTLE EFFORT. I took it expecting little work because of the other rates I read on this website, but NO. You can definitely easily pass the SEVERAL online quizzes, and effortlessly do the two papers she assigns- BUT THE TESTS ARE MEMORIZATION. You need to memorize the whole entire study guide.

Art history is a pretty boring subject all around in my opinion but Allyson made it moderately interesting. Only one museum paper and the class is basically memorization, so be sure to print the slide list.

Dr. Williams is friendly & knowledgable - an expert in her field. Just make sure you take thorough notes and make notecards your best friend. Her tests are difficult because she expects you to know everything about everything. She appreciates participation. She WILL call out people talking in her class. Paper is super easy. Try to learn something

There is a LOT of reading in this class. It's almost completely readings, summaries and class discussion. No tests, one 6-8p paper that will be presented to the class. Almost all the reading is from blackboard. It will take up your time. It is necessary to do it. Participate and show up. I was terrified of this class, but it ended up a favorite.

I really liked prof Williams. She gives these online quizzes but you have two tries and the questions are identical so if you fail the first one just write the correct answers down and you'll ace the second one. Material was interesting, i didn't open the book once and got an A. This class is almost too easy.

This professor, is great person, all you have to is homework and pay attention to her quizzes try not to miss any one. I really admire this person, her class was fun, and have learned a lot. I regret that I put a bad comment about this person. I really want to take it back. My apology!!! If you do properly there is an easy A or B waiting for you

Dr Williams. excellent person, respectful. She gives online quizzes, all you need is a flashcards, and watch her video lectures. You don't need a textbook. The class Was fun and it has interesting material. Very easy class, easy A. Only one project required to visit Meseum or so to boost up your credit. I am looking forward to take another class.

Loved her! really made me want to learn more about art history

She's very sweet, but her lectures get stale after a while, sadly. Her tests aren't too bad but they do require some preparation beforehand if you want to pass.

Respectful, understanding, and very knowledgeable. However, I could see how her teaching style may not be everyone's cup of tea. Lectures are fast-paced, and it can be hard sometimes to discern tangents from information that you will actually be tested on. It takes time, but look up each piece on the reduced slide lists individually to succeed.

She is a well of knowledge and you can honestly learn so much from her! Pay attention to her details during lectures. She gives cool nuggets of information, she usually tests on those facets of information. The textbook saved me, which I know is hard because they are most of the time expensive. you can't miss much she records lectures!

This is a pretty standard art history class, with tests consisting of multiple choice slide IDs, questions about the artists and the artwork, and an essay question. There are a few easy journal assignments and a research paper due at the end of the semester. The lectures can get a little boring, but overall an okay class and a good professor.

Straightforward lectures with good test review and study guide before exams. Graded on open note exams, a couple journals regarding readings, and one longer research paper at the end of the semester. Class is easy to follow if you're trying and paying attention. Passionate professor, no surprises and learned a lot. Recommend if you enjoy art.

I love Dr. Williams. I thought it was an easy class because most of her test questions are on lectures. As long as you watch the lectures and take notes you can do fairly well on the tests. One museum paper. 3 midterms, lowest dropped, plus the final. She's super nice. I think the people that don't do well as those who aren't interested in art hist

Dr. Williams was the best professor I've had through this whole covid / online learning situation. The assignments were clear, her lectures were interesting, and the tests were straightforward. She is super knowledgeable and goes out of her way to help students. Easy A.

I took Prof Williams as a remote learning class last semester. She's awesome! There is a lot of material to know, but taking it online was easy. Her lectures are really interesting and fun if you enjoy art. Keeping up with the lecture is essential to passing and understanding material. 10/10 would take her class again.

Covid era - Prof Williams knows A LOT about euro art and that's great! Her lectures are rich in knowledge and very vivid. She really does paint a picture of life in the ye old days - but that means you HAVE to take good notes and lots of them. If you do, you can get away a smidge without reading the textbook so heavily. Attending class is vital!

She doesn't take attendance and posts lectures online. For the journals make sure to make time to read them bc they can be heavy and convoluted. She allows 2 pages of notes for tests, WRITE GOOD ORGANIZED NOTES. For the essay, your writing style or typos won't count much but she cares about research and the points you present.

Art History as a topic requires a lot of memorization and studying. She presented all the information in interesting ways, and is so sweet! I absolutely loved her class and loved her passion for art history. Definitely would be a hard class if you don't already have interest in art history. Take lots of notes! Kind, caring, great lectures!

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this class but I did. You can tell the professor loves what she does and it makes her lectures very interesting. The lectures can feel a bit unorganized sometimes, but not too bad. You are graded on 1 five page paper, a few journal responses, and three tests. The tests can be intense but you get one page of notes.

Professor Williams is understandable if you have any issues the whole semester, its a heavily quiz-based class, and her lectures are a little hard to follow, but if you do the online assignments she posts for every quiz, it is easier to understand the subject. She rambles about her personal life sometimes and she is funny though.

Really enjoyed her lectures that engage you in the material you are talking about. It is a lot of reading, but not bad and there are (mostly) weekly quizzes on the material. The midterms cover a good chunk of the pieces discussed in class and does require a lot of studying, but definitely manageable.
