Prof. Amy Young makes this a great class. Study for her daily quizzes so that you can understand her otherwise very clear lectures, which are entertaining because she is so passionate about art history. She is also determined to help you. She let's you rewrite papers, takes off very little credit for late papers, and gives extra credit assignments.

This teacher is very difficult. She packs way toooo much into one lecture so it's hard to keep up. For a 100 level class, it demands way too much of your time.

I do not recommend her. She makes the class harder than it needs to be. Quiz every class on vocabulary words from the book( she doesn't give a word bank which makes it even harder), too much material to memorize for the midterm and final. She wants papers written in a very specific way and will send it back so many times to FIX it, it's annoying.

Assignments are not difficult but she has certain criteria to give you a good grade. Every class theres a vocabulary quiz. Midterm and Final require a lot of memorization. Takes off points from overall grade for late assignments. Lecture the whole class time. She knows her stuff and tries to give some extra credit.
