difficult to communicate with
An aweful teacher. Most unapproachable. You cant contact her over the phone, and she replies to emails on an average 10 days later..if you are taking her online class..STAY AWAY!!!, this class will pull your GPA down, its a 4 credit hour class.
very rude and arrogant online class was torture
Dr. Jeffrey was enthusiastic, commited to exploring controversial ideas, and totally open to conversation with students- awesome class experience. Was argumentative on occassion- but human.
after taking her online class, i not only will never take another online class again, but any bit of interest i had in art has been abolished. she is impossible to contact, her assignments are boring and you get no feedback on any of your work. it sucked.
This online course involvled a lot of reading, writing,and analyzing. It also required two museum trips and you had to watch several videos. The class was not difficult,and did not require any previous art knowledge. It is a lot of work,but I got an A+
Boring class! takes alot of work and reading. Teacher is very hard to get in touch with.
Just to clarify the statements before mine, Dr. Jeffery is not impossible to get in contact with. You are assigned a TA at the beginning of the semester with whom you should contact, but throughout the entire semester nobody followed those simple directions. Very easy class.
online class - well, the quizzes aren't bad, just keep the book in front of you (duh). and to make things easier, just watch the lecture videos and take really good notes , then the quizzes and final exam should be easy.
Pretty easy class...I never once read the book but I watched every lecture and took notes and made an either A's or B's on the quizzes and got an A on both museum reports. Museum reports are kind of a pain because you have to go to the museum but the actual paper is easy...I made an A in the class
This woman assigns unreasonable amounts of work every week, most of which is worth a very small percentage. She encourages discussion but most of the people who feel compelled to talk are retarded. Don't take this class unless you have to! She throws a fit if you don't do the reading or eat in class
Anne is a genuinely kind person, very enthusiastic - probably overshoots on assignments but is willing to compromise. Easy course.
Her assignments are right out of the book (very easy), two museum reports, two video response...usually alway 250 words, only one is 500 words...half the assignments are a give me. She is very giving and nice.
I learned a lot and enjoyed the material, but the structure of the class had problems and in the end I got an A- (minus). Who gives an A minus? That's just wrong.
A fun and interesting class. I wasn't thrilled about taking an art class at first but this changed my mind. I learned a lot. I wish there were more questions on the quizzes though.
This class sucks! Don't take it. It's not as easy as it seems. The teacher is ok...but you better wish you get a good TA. NEVER responded to emails, questions, etc. A lot of work, videos are long and BORING. It's not worth it.
THE CLASS HAS AN ASSIGNMENT EVERY WEEK, LIKE A 10 QUEST. QUIZ OR A SHORT 250-WORD REPORT OVER A TOPIC OR VIDEO RESPONSE. cLASS ALSO HAS 2 MUSEUM REPORTS. VERY SIMPLE. EASY "A"
i got a D+ in the class. i hated the timed online quizes.. its def not as easy as it seems it totally turned me off to taking anymore online classed.. they all end up to be a nightmare in the end!!!
Is like any other class you have to do assignments but is great because she gives time enough to do it. I do recommend her if you are willing to do the work.
An online class that is easy, but don't expect much help from the instructor. My advice would be to complete all assignments early. She has very little sympathy for students who have experienced technical difficulties submitting assignments online, and likes to place blame on "procrastinators" Also, the instructor lectures are very drawn out.
This class is extremely easy for a 300 level class. You can watch the video and then take the quiz and get a A. This class is a easy to get your fine arts credit out of the way.
Easy class if you take the time to do the weekly assignments... got a B without really trying at all. Only real complaint is no extra credit offered/Spring break assignments. Professor emails kind of rude but probably a must since she's in charge of a class of 300+.
Took this class online!Don't take it period. It's a waste of time.She assigns so much work and you only have like a five day period to do it and if you miss it, forget getting to take it because the link is gone and they only let you take it if you show them written documentation.Lectures are long and boring.Final is a PAIN!Don't take this class!
Class was very much easy, but you really can't afford to make too many mistakes as that can drop yer grade fast. 4 chapter, 150pg reading assignment with quiz online for 10 questions! you get two wrong, you have a B! It's only worth taking because its FOUR credits and you have to visit 2 MUSEUMS and report on them. You CAN'T BS em either.Easy class
I LOVED this class. It rates as one of the best online classes that I have taken. My advice don't procrastinate. She gives you plenty of time to do the assignments so why wait until the last minute? All the assignments and tests are very easy. I got a 95 in the class without really trying. Good class if you love art.
She knows nothing more about art than what the book says. Infact, her lectures seem like she just read the chapter then got infront of the camera and said what she just read. Don't bother with the videos. My 8 year-old nephew gives better book reports. She added absolutely nothing to the class!
I admit I was kinda worried about taking this class after reading all the comments from others. But personally, I have to say that this is one of the easiest class I'm taking so far. Pay attention to ur syllabus and dont procastinate and u'll be fine...mark ur calendar ahead of time when sumthing is due and u'll be fine. Good luck!
Loved this class. There was a lot of work for an online class, but it was interesting. Liked the fact we had to visit museums to further our knowledge. She was a very good instructor for an online class.
Just took her class. The instructor totally ruined it for me. I agree that she didn't really add any more knowledge than the book did. Her extremely monotonous lectures and annoying voice killed all of my motivation. Deadlines were too strict, too much work for a web class, not an easy grade, little room for errors, not much assistance to students.
This class is very easy. I did not find that there was "a lot of work for a web class." Anne seems to care more about "artsy" camera shots than actually allowing us to hear what she is saying. The wind many times gets the best of the lecture. She is highly disorganized and difficult to contact. Easy "A" if you can handle a class by yourself.
Made me NEVER want to consider another online class. Assigned work over Spring Break. Mundane lectures that lasted forever. Impossible to contact. No way to make up a single assignment, forget being sick or going out of town (EVEN OVER HOLIDAYS!) Made me never want to take another Art Class. Psh...Save yourself the annoyance, and the money.
Prof. Jeffrey was a treat to have. She was the first online professor I had that offered visual lectures! I loved the textbook and videos she provided. Even when her class is large she takes time for her students!
I hate studying art to begin with, and this teacher made me NOT want to study any art or online class ever again. Lectures are usually over an hour long...It's hard enough for me to watch a so-so hollywood movie, imagine her boring lectures! I did kind of good because my TA was nice enough to give me a 90% on my Museum Report (50% of the grade BTW)
I thought this class was very easy. True, the lectures are boring, but they aren't that necessary to watch. I used the book during the quizzes and always did very well. Her TAs grade easily. She gives plenty of time for assignments so as long as you don't wait till the last minute. The class is an easy A.
This woman was the worst teacher I have ever had. She only has the review available for 6 days, and will not re-post anything, no matter what! I never even watched two of the lectures and still got 8 or 9 out of 10. It is easy but you have to remember to take the stupid quizes, because she doesn't allow for 0's and still getting an A. She gets an F
Good teacher. She requires a visit to a local museum and write paper about the art. I thought the class was interesting for the most part. I think the work was EASY... you just had to do it! The test and quizzes were a little tricky but def. spend time doing a good job on quizzes b/c those points add up at the end! Overall great experience!
The videos used for the lecture are at times poor in quality but assignment questions were not taken from it. I felt the grading was not strict and a little more effort on my part would have easily earned an A. The only problem was she set specific time frames for when assignments were avaliable, so finishing early is not an options.
I went into this class open minded and left it closed minded and will never look at art again. It doesn't matter how much you study the material in the book or video presentations the test's are more abstract than the art you're required to study. I would not recommend this course to anyone. Very Very disappointed.
There was work that was due by 6:55 on the dot on Sunday (because I took it online) but it was overall an easy class. All you have to do is read the text and the quizes are nothing. Everything was online so you always had a book there to help you also. Take this class for your art class.
She is a strict woman. She gives you plenty of time to do your work, its just up to you to get it done. I took the online class and had no problem getting an A. Only a few quiz questions come from the lecture, the rest are from the book. Its kind of hard to contact her but its possible. Its easy to use the book during quizes. She gives you time!
Easy class. She gives you plenty of time to do the assignments. One paper that is only two pages long and everything else is quizzes and simple homework assignments. I would advise taking this if you need an extra class or an easy A+.
She is lathargic in her teaching and makes me want to go to sleep. Horrible Teacher!
Took this as an online class. As long as you like art and independent study you'll do fine. I never used the books or watched the lectures. I only watched her reviews and completed the reviews sheets. As for her, she is one of the most inflexible, rude and condescending teachers I've ever dealt with. Proceed with caution!
Online class. Easy if you are disciplined and keep on top of your deadlines. Very clear about what is expected in syllabus/orientation. Does require at least one museum visit/report. Class is geared more toward methods/techniques as opposed to actual history. Pretty much gives you the whole final exam in the review.
This is not a hard class if you are conscious of your deadlines and a good googler. just do your assignments and you'll be fine.
The online class itself is not bad, just be good with all her deadlines. As for her, well she is not helpful at all and complains about student e-mails so you're on your own. One museum report, not bad. For 4 credits not too demanding. Get an older book though, do not buy the one in the bookstore its a rip off and she ref. to the old one.
Online Class is not hard, just has strong deadlines. Prof is one of the worst I have had. Has condescending/belligerent tone in emails. Has TA do most of the work, wants work done early and if not she will not get your work graded until she feels like it. Look for a similar class with another instructor. Not a good professor to work with.
This online class is really easy if you take the time to read the book and watch all of her lectures online. The deadlines are strict but they are all in the syllabus. I'm not even sure she is still alive because all of her lectures are from like 4 years ago.
This online class was easy! The ONLY time I used the book was 15 minutes before any of the quizzes were due to find the answers. You do a museum report and watch a couple videos on artists she chooses. I only had a final, no midterm. She has webcasts for each section, I never watched any but the final one that had the review & I still got an A!
Okay all of the other students are wrong. They are just lazy and didn't want to do the work. Deadlines are crucial and I did miss one quiz but I aced every assignment and every quiz. How? I watched the lectures, not bad and read the chapters assigned. You can use your book on the quizes. Jeffery is nice and a very good teacher. Easy class,4 credits
Somewhat easy class, Must do readings and watch the videos, tough on dead lines and really prefers work early. NOT a friendly teacher, breaks class into section and won't talk to anyone not in her section. Communication is rude and condescending.
She knows about 20th century art, but her teaching is a little scattered. Things were put off to the side or pushed to the week after. There are quizes after each lecture and they are random questions. Her tests are a hard. Her voice is low, so sit in front.
This class was really easy the lectures were kinda hard to hear... because of all the background noise, but everything is very straight foward. Just keep on top of your work and this class will be an easy A.
Easy online class, take the quizzes and submit report early or blackboard will be too busy and you'll lose some of your 10 or 15 min. time limit. Whatever you do, DON'T ask for extended deadlines or a different museum to report on, or email her instead of your TA. Not following her rules makes her NUTS!
Easy online class...deadlines are crucial! watch lectures and read the book!!
I found this class dreadfully boring, but it is a very easy class. Watch the lectures, know the bold terms in the book, and you will be fine. Be sure to watch the deadlines as there are no extensions.
this class was horrible.. don't take it unless you have to..
dont take it if u want to get above a B+.even if ur a real smart straight-A student b/c she tries really hard to make her quizzes as difficult as possible;the questions are misleading.her videos are horrible--u cant hear her;she uses the 4th edition book in her lectures.lots of ppl say its an easy A class but its not b/c of the format of her quizes
She's a sweet lady that is very understanding if you attend class and make an effort to understand.
Hardcore grading on all grading. Pretty uncaring about students - you will usually be thrown to the side if you have a problem. The TAs are exactly the same
RUN!!! Worse online class ever. She acts like she hates her job and students. She's rude and nasty. Her grading is extremely hard. She doesn't know how to write quiz questions. the lectures suck. awful, awful class. fulfill your fine arts requirement with a different class!! trust me! email me on here if u need more specifics.
Horrible online class! Her lectures use an old version of the book. Her quiz questions are vague and it's hard to figure out what she's asking. Her blackboard posts are rude. The quizzes disappear before you they are scheduled to. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS
I took the online course. I didn't find it as horrible as most are saying. Almost all of the answers for the quizzes came straight from the book. I didn't watch most of the lectures but I did watch the last one. She gives you all of the pictures that will be mentioned on the final.
If you want to make an "A" in this class, you have to work very hard. This is because she wrote her quiz questions in such a way that they're deceptive and not clear about what is being asked, and she doesn't let you see which ones you missed. Plus the essay grading is really harsh. I am a straight-A student who barely scraped by an "A-".
I can not believe these terrible ratings, I took the online course and ended with an A +. She offers extra credit that boost your grade up that if you have a B+ you have an A-. The test questions were not hard, and the quizzes were only 45% of the final grade. You could get 50s on quizzes and get a B- in the class.
ok. i give fair ratings not biased on just my own personal experience, but this class is dumb! dont let others fool you into thinking its an easy a, bc its not. If done the "right way" this class can be hell. I'm not exaggerating...Her questions are loaded. They dont match up with her lectures...take world regional geo for historical perpectives...
Video lectures are useless, the quiz questions are mostly based on the book. Read and you should be fine; I got an A+. The TAs are worse than she is. She is mostly responsive to mass student concerns, but not to individual students. Quizzes are ok. Make sure you watch the final review video to get a good grade on the final. Do extra credit.
I?m mad at myself for not listening to these reviews, I signed up for it on the suggestion of my advisor,but it?s so much more trouble than it?s worth.It?s not that the class is challenging and I just can?t keep up with the work, it has become such a headache dealing with all of her stupid requirements.One example,I (along with a lot of other class
I took this class online. This class was not difficult, just very time consuming. I had to read the book more for this class than any of my upper-level courses. Save yourself some money and DON'T BUY THE DVD'S! It says that they are required, but she puts the webcasts online for free, and I wound up returning the DVD's that I bought.
She uses the over enrollemnt in the class as an excuse for not helping individual students and is more concerned with following her dated syllabus than realizing its inconsistencies.Get off your high horse and quit teaching if you would rather be right than help the students who signed up expecting to have a fair and concerned professor.
She is the worst online teacher that I have ever had! She definitely takes her class a bit too serious and refuses to help. The quizzes were ridiculous and her webcasts were boring! She grades the essays ridiculously critical. I ended with B! By far my worst grade in an online class (and I've taken anatomy online).
Jeffrey is AWESOME! Very intelligent, and knows the subject. The class is ocmposed of watching old dated videos, and 2 tests, that's it. She gives a very detailed review before hand. This class is about as easy as it gets. You can watch the videos the week before and get an A. She is highly recommended!
She is VERY unclear about what she wants. She is pretentious and unapproachable....so unapproachable in fact that she won't even bother to read your e-mails, you have to do everything through her T.As! The content is interesting, but not enough to put up with this woman. Save your money and go to Italy....you'll learn a lot more about art!
Difficult for an introductory online course. Instructions are sometimes unclear and teacher is not very helpful at responding questions via email. Responses take a while, and seems like she has little concern about her students. First college course I have had to read ENTIRE book and take countless notes. Good material, bad learning methods.
This online class is, by all means, not difficult. I highly recommend taking this course especially since it's 4 cr hrs. The syllabus is a bit overwhelming at first, but you will get it. Not too many assignments. Professor is quite awful though. Her video lectures are boring & she is so strict. Good luck getting responses to any questions you have.
The only complaint i have is the price of the book...
DON"T DO IT!! She's a good teacher but she is very boring and posts rude comments on the discussion page stating that she has too many students to be bothered. The book is useless to her lectures that are outdated and coincides with an old book that the class doesnt use. The lectures are where most tests come from but you can't hear whats said.
I took the online course. I have sent her a few emails and always received a prompt response. I noted an error on the syllabus and she posted the correction on Blackboard immediately. The web lectures are difficult to hear. Simple: read the text, view the web lectures and don't wait until the last minute to do the writing assignments.
Hated this class. Videos make you wanna punch your screen and the amount of work you have to put in it is not needed. Please, for my sake, don't take it. The TA in the videos was adorable though. ;)
Inro to Art online, was supposed to be an easy 4.0credit class. IF YOU DONT LIKE ART AND DONT NEED TO TAKE THE CLASS DONT!!!! IT SUCKS,and is a terrible class. The lectures make you laugh, be they are so HIDIOUS. teacher doesnt help at at, and it is the hardest, stupidest class i have ever taken. you will regret taking it and struugle just for a C
This was by far my least favorite class! The video lectures are beyond long and boring! even if you write down word-for-word you still will get a horrible grade. Not with the time or $!
This was by far my least favorite class! The video lectures are beyond long and boring! even if you write down word-for-word you still will get a horrible grade. Not with the time or $!
This is the worst class EVER. The teacher is soooo lazy, she has TAs, that do all the work, such as email you and all grades(including papers) the TAs are really UNFAIR graders, they think they are cool, and give bad grades.Anne doesnt give you the timeof day, and if you mess up, forget about it. this is supposed to be INTRO to art, NOT ART level5
Class was pretty miserable. The teacher is very unresponsive to emails and the material that is supposed to be learned from the videos is never clear. The quizzes given are terrible and she gets very emotional when someone in the class isn't doing very well. I'd recommend not taking it for an "easy A", it's the worst easy class ever.
The videos for this class were so boring to watch and they were also very long. She was also very unapproachable when asked about questions or content. Finally she removes the videos before the final and does not tell you she is taking them off so make sure you take notes!
Loved the class!
I found the class to be easy but I did have to work at it. Detailed notes from both the book and her lectures are key in receiving good grades on papers and test. I loved the class because I am an Art History major, but I think that those who are only a little interested in art will be able to do well as long as they dont mind working at it.
worst thing you could do to your GPA, please do not take this...I have never felt so helpless in a class. terrible, I regret wasting my time and money on this. really really disappointing.
I'm really surprised at the negative comments! I just completed Art of the Western World with an A. No previous interest in Art. the videos are FREE online and the book was $1.00. I never used the book. Two tests, nothing else, I maybe put 4 hours into the class for the whole semester. the 2 times I needed to reach her, she was responsive and nice
I loved Anne Jeffery. She is spunky, down to earth and whats you to succeed.
Prof. Jeffrey explicitly states that if you have a question that is addressed in the syllabus or intro video, she won't answer it. You have to work for an A, but her expectations are clear, and it IS possible (I got an A). You have to take notes on the online lectures, read the text and KNOW THE DEADLINES, neither Jeffrey nor her TAs babysit you.
If you want an A do NOT take this course! There's only TWO exams the entire semester (no extra credit) and no feedback! Anne Jeffery does not care about student success! You have 3 sources to go by with little direction (videos, in text concepts, and back of book definitions) as to what is the correct answer! Do not take!
