Good teacher. Sometimes lecture with slides got boring, but she kept it upbeat for the most part. Not too hard, just do your papers.
This is a nice teacher, but her class couldn't be more boring. It's just slide after slide in that class and the work is sometimes confusing but not that hard. Take her at your own risk!

A little hard to focus & stay awake in this class, however it is easy to pass.
This class is an easy "A" Just do your papers. The two exams are a breeze. Just be ready for slide after slide after slide....
She is a total hippie and loves art. It's always nice to take a class with a professor who is passionate about what they are teaching.
She's a good professor. Some classes were boring, while others were interesting. I found the class to be easy.
Very cool teacher...rated "Coolest Teacher Ever" by a friend and I. She rocked. One of my favorite classes of all time. Too bad she doesn't teach any other courses.
Easy class. She's a nice teacher. There are just a lot of slides...
Nice teacher, but nice isn't everything. Does not give an easy A
She is a great teacher! And she loves art so it makes the class more interesting! Great personality!!
Amazing Prof!She is so into what she teaches and its contagious.Two tests that arent diff if you go to class and listent to the lect. Its easy to get interested bc she loves her subject. Such a great personality. STRONGLY RECOMMEND HER!
She's a cool teacher. I'm not a major art person but I thought the class was really interesting. It's easy to be open and talk to her in the class about feelings toward art.
AWESOME teacher! I was never into art, but after taking Whidden's class I gained a whole new appreciation & intrest in art. She makes the class fun and entertaining. She has a lot of experience with art and shows her own slide pics of the places she has been.
Great teacher, very interesting class. Art project was fun; Internet paper was not. If you attend classes, take good notes & study hard before midterm & final, you’ll do well (attend the reviews – she gives great pointers as to what’ll be on exams, esp. slides on the final). Highly recommend the class.

If she likes you then you will pass her class, if not she will fail you just by looking at you.Talked too much about her personal life which is very boring.She wants female students to kiss up to her.
I loved this class! Everything we learned about was so interesting. Made me consider changing my major to art history! She was an extremely interesting/wonderful teacher. I will miss that class. Regarding the previous rant, I felt her personal life seemed very interesting, I wish she would have divulged more! Highly recommend her! :)
Real good teacher. Made learning art fun and interesting.
Prof. Whidden is a great teacher! Her class is not at all boring despite some of the comments made. I never liked art or really knew toom uch about it until taking her class. For anyone who says "If you want an easy A don't take her class" they're wrong. I highly reccomend taking this class, a lot of FUN!
Dr. Whidden is the best teach Ive had all year!! She knows stndts are required to take class & makes it as fun as she can. Lectures not boring. You must have some kind of interest for art prior to taking class. Take good notes and you'll ace both tests. No homework. 2 papers that are easy. If you have problems she's always helpful. I WILL MISS HER!
She's a fun teacher. Whether it's the bizzare and unexpecting things she says, or her tieing seemingly boring facts into the subject. She'll more than likely keep you awake on a subject she is passionate about. I was on my laptop the entire semester and it was fine with her. All you have to do is be there, do the 2 projects, and 2 tests.
i was like the worst student I would come in 30-11/2hr late every day hand in papers that i wrote that mourning had the worst project ever, everyones project looked technologically advanced mine looked like it came from a third world country, got a D on the first test and still got a b wait b+in that m******interesting class
She knows what she's talking about, has a great sense of humor, and let's you out once she's done lecturing. Take her!
shes great really helpful and understanding wants you to pass the course and is very funny and chill! definitely take her if you can
THE BEST TEACHER EVER!She is so much fun and makes all the topics easy and understanding. Im going to miss this class! she gives extra credit. Only homework is a little project. Highly recommend her. just take notes and pay attnetion youll will be fine.
She is the best teacher ive had so far. She knows what she is talking about. only 2 tests and a project. She helps you review for the test. Any one who says negative things about her obviously slacked in her class. She is fun and energetic. Highly Recommend!
She is a great teacher, alwaiz happy and in a good mood. Willing to help you with any questions. Her class is mad easy, few papers to write, a small preject about your own personality, midtern, and final. She reviews before tests. Gives extra credit. EASY CLASS, even at 8am
Very nice lady and a really good class. It's mainlly coming to class, taking notes on picture slides, and leaving. Always out early. Two papers, one is a fun art project, the other is an internet paper that's pretty simple. I loved her class very much. Great for art majors, especially her.
This was the greatest class! Not only did I learn more than I have in a while, the teacher is fantastic and knows what she is talking about. You go to class, learn what you need to learn, and then you're out. She never keeps you. Easy assignments, and interesting material. She is awesome!
Knows what she is talking about. Very passionate about Art and History. Fun lady. Class notes are used for test material, thus I would recommend attendance. When writing assignments, pay attention to essay format and grammer. She likes class participation, even if you guess.
Greatest teacher I've ever had. Easy class and easy tests!! Theres inly 2 in class writing which are easy and you can use your notes (1 page only) I highly recommend!!
if you like art and are interested in the history of it and the topic then take her if your not then dont, you will be bored to death! nice lady and gives extra credit! its alot of work if you pay attention you will do good but the material is sooo boring!
ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS IVE EVER HAD! ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS PERSONALITY, SUPER FUNNY, VERY NICE. POWER POINT PICTURES EVERYDAY FOR A VISUAL TO LEARN AND GRASP THE ART. JUST TAKE NOTES, AND ABOUT 3 IN CLASS WRITINGS MID TERM AND FINAL, THATS IT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROF. LOVE PROFESSOR WHIDDEN! :)
Professor, Whidden is the best teacher at Palm beach state college. Just 1 midterm and 1 final exam! TAKE HER! she is very nice and helpful! SHE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Whidden is an awesome professor! She is smart and funny too. If you are into art then it's a great class to take...if not you might be a little bit bored
IM A FULL BLOWN BUSINESS MAJOR WITH ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST IN ARTS. SHE HAS CHANGED THAT! I LOVED THE CLASS AND HAS OPENED MY EYES TO A NEW COOL WORLD. THE INCLASS WRITES ARE EASY TO GRAMMAR OR SPELLING CHECKS. THE CONTAINER PROJECT WAS SO EASY AND FUN! HER LECTURES ARE EASY AND WORD FOR WORD ON TEST. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING FOR FAIL BUT GOT AN A+.
GREAT TEACHER!! MADE ME LAUGH NON STOP INTERESTING LECTURES AND EASY EAST CLASS I PASSED WTH AN A IF U LOVE WRITING IT WILL BE A BREEZE! ONLY 1 PROJECT AND I DID IT THE DAY BEFORE AND GOT A B
Shes amazing! very fun and makes art interesting! i enjoyed her class so much, i took it twice! seriously.
She is great! Take the notes, do the two in class writings and study then the mid term test and final will be super easy! Very interesting class. Loved her!
i love this class. it is super easy. just take notes which are very SHORT and thats it!! the tests are 100 % from what you learn in class which is awesome! NO TEXTBOOK REQUIRED. great teacher. very nice. recommend to anyone.
This woman is GREAT! Very bohemian teaching style. She's funny and makes art history fun. If you take notes, you'll do just fine. Only 2 tests (midterm & final) which pretty much mirror the review. She doesn't care if you sleep in her class as long as you don't do it sitting in the front row. Don't text.
She is great! Always make me laugh in class. Take 2 tests, midterm &final. do 2 in class writings. otherwise just take notes and pay attention. she makes learing about art fun! just DONT text
Professor Whidden is a great professor. I have never been into art but she is so entertaining she makes me want to listen. Take notes and you'll do fine. She will NOT allow texting, so dont even try to text. Shes a fun professor and she loves to tell stories about art and places shes traveled. TAKE HER!
she is the best teacher ever. never useed the book very pointless. dont take attendance but u do get extra credict for coming test are ok i got a B in her class. she's very funny
VERY GOOD PROFESSOR: No textbook required, only writes USEFUL notes, easy 'A'
GREAT TEACHER, VERY NICE!!! COUPLE PROJECTS THAT ARE FUN! DON'T NEED THE TEXTBOOK JUST COPY NOTES FROM THE BOARD!
Bst teacher I've had yet. No text book required, test are overall pretty easy, there's one project and 2 or 3 easy papers. I think the longest I've stayed in that class was like 15 mins. she never stays the whole class. I reccommend her 100%
1 out of the best professors i've takin. i took her for art appreciation a few semesters ago i like art but im not a fanatic she made it interesting for me. she's chill and funny 2 things that bother her is txting in class and falling asleep in the 1st row. 3 test way ez take notes & study them 2 days before hand got i an A everytime take her!!!!!!
Dr. Whidden is the absolute best teacher there is at PBSC. She goes into detail with her notes, if you have a question she answers it perfectly. I would recommend to the highest point!! I would take her over and over if I had the time. She makes you want to go to class.
DR. Whidden is the best!!! Art history can be extremely boring, but when you take this class, she makes it fun and easy to learn! you have one project, two papers, and two tests. she even excuses you from one of the papers if you do well on the in class evaluations. she's funny, smart, and very down to earth! definitely take her!! easy A!!
Dr. Whidden is probably the best art history teacher there is. She is so laidback and easy to get along with and her teaching style is direct. Her class was so much fun. The projects are simple. Pay attention and youll pass.
Dr Whidden is amazing! She made art interesting and fun to learn! I genuinely enjoyed being in her class and having her as a professor. TAKE HER! Attendance is mandatory if you want your own notes (which will help)
she is really nice. take the extra credit seriously because it will helps you a lot. study hard for the final and midterm. really good professor :)
Dr. Whidden is an amazing professor. She is extremely helpful and keeps you interested in the class. I never thought I would be eager to attend a class but this one was a pleasure to be in. Very smart and well versed professor.
Great professor! Textbook not needed. Her notes are the answers to all of her tests. If you take good notes you will do fine. She is someone who will tell you how it is, but also her teaching style is so laid back. I actually loved going to that class, and that was the express summer class.
Prior to attending this class I absolutely dreaded it. However, I am very happy I did. Professor Whidden is very knowledgeable and made the class worth attending. If you pay attention in class and take good notes you should have no problem. The way she teaches accommodates just about every learning style. Overall Great Professor!!!
Prof. Whidden likes to lighten the mood and have fun teaching. She knows what she's talking about, and also simplifies art history and concepts for everyone. Cool, laid-back art project. Bare bones test review means heavy note review and studying--you better take notes during her lectures. In-class writings can be tough (group up!) Plenty xtracredt
good teacher. hard tests, give extra credit but only two, she funny but she grades hard and her study guides are useful but not too useful, she does in class writing which are pretty easy
I thought "ART" was going to be easy and enjoyable little did I know. This professor just bombards you with lectures that are extremely long and tedious , not to go on but then she sends you an email on whats going to be on the mid term and final and pretty much you have to use the book and make your own study guide. Wasn't what I Expected at all.
If you're looking to take this class for an easy A, then this is not the class for you. Dr.W makes you work for your A. You have to take really, really good notes from her lectures and then study those notes to do well on the tests. The test are hard and she only gives two extra credit which are worth 2 points to your final grade. Not an easy prof.
I loved Dr. Whidden's class! She gave us a midterm and a final. I got 100 on both, just make sure to take good notes during her lectures and it'll be a breeze. She gave out a tiny project, which was really easy, and had to write a paper about it. She gives two in class evaluation, but if you do well, no second paper for you, and that's it!
Very clear lectures with a touch of wittiness. Professor Whidden gets right to the point and you'll defiantly go home learning something new.
Professor Whidden is a very smart, down to Earth professor and her class, hands down, was my favorite class I took this semester. You get about 3 extra credit opportunities. Just take good notes during her lectures and you'll pass the midterm and final. I wish I could take her again! :)
Her class is a great example of one that seems boring but makes it very interesting and at times inspirational. I personally found the topics in the classe and lectures to be amazing and the way she lectures about it will deffinetly help you. Strict grader but feedback is helpful. Would deffinetly recommend to everyone.
Dr. Whidden is a down earth teacher. She gives amazing lectures and you learn a lot in one class. You better take notes its pretty much the midterm and final. I loved her!! Just in case get the book to recall something from class. MY FAVORITE CLASS AND IT WAS FOR 6 WEEKS SUMMER!!
She is one of the best teachers I have taken. She's so down to Earth and funny. Her lecture may be long and boring sometimes but they are full of information. Art is not my favorite thing and I took a lot of notes. They are VITAL to your life for this class. Don't be late because she starts right away. You don't need the book if you take notes.
She lectures every class. The lectures are very cool. The lectures are on material that is need for midterms and finals. You have three in class writing as well as one one big project that is all. You don't use your textbook.
I took Dr. Whidden for a 6 week art appreciation course. She is amazing! Take good notes and you will do great. She is funny and cares about the subject she teaches. She's traveled to many of the places we learned about. If you take a lot of notes you will do great and study hard. She gives a study guide a few days prior to exam
Basically the course is made up of lecture notes that are long and tedious. Then you have about two or three in class writings. If you dont do good on the in class writings then you have to write a huge essay in MLA format. Attendance is mandatory. You have one be art project which is easy. She is a strict grader and no phones are allowed out.
She is a strict grader and no phones are allowed out. Study guides are useful but not that useful. As a professor she is nice and gives out extra credit. Want an essay A then this class isnt for you, she makes you work for the grade.
I absolutely LOVE Dr. Whidden, she's literally the best art teacher around. Her lectures are far from boring and she makes the stuff she teaches funny. Her test and assignments are to the point and quite easy, she's extremely easy to talk too as well! 100% would take her class again!!
Shes very passionate about what she teaches. Just take a bunch of notes during lectures and youll do great.
she is great
Dr. Whidden is one of the best professors I had so far she is very clear on what expects from you. Make sure to return assignments on time she gives a lot of extra credit so take advantage, at the beginning I was passing with a C after doing my extra credits and studying for the final I pass the class with an A. DON'T USE YOUR CELLPHONE in class
Shes a really great professor, I'd definitely take her again!
This professor helps when you are struggling with your grade, honestly the best professor at PBSC
Dr. Whidden is great! She gives you the format to write the 3 in-class writings (analyzing paintings), which are not bad at all. Gives review sheet for Midterm/Final. 3 extra credit opportunities. Lectures are mostly interesting. Always finishes 15 mins early.
Loved her!! I took her for 6 weeks in the summer, I wish I would have taken her in a regular fall semester. She is so funny and so amazing. I really looked forward to going to her class EVERYDAY! I would love to take her again! :)
Professor Whidden is very knowledgeable about everything she teaches. She makes her lectures very entertaining and fun to listen to. You only have to write 2 or 3 papers and There's also A LOT of extra credit opportunities.
She is a very easy professor, and we had the majority of our class work done in the first three weeks. After that it was just the midterm and the final. The majority of the class is lectures and note taking, which can be boring, but overall it is a very easy class
if you are looking for an easy A then don't take her. she is strict. Always telling the student that they don't know anything. However, she explains all concepts clearly but you HAVE to take notes otherwise you will miss a lot of informations that are not in the book. she gives a helpful study guide but only a couple of days before test.
Professor Whidden had to be an honest fave for me,especially for my first year. Shes incredibly intelligent and inspiring. Her stories make you want to know more about the subject. Shes inspired me to travel and look at the world through a different lense. Shes works with you about homework and makes sure you get it done. Phenomenal : 50/10.
she gives quizzes every Tuesday and Thursday a total of 10 quizzes for the semester and a project and a research paper that's worth 30%. If you don't want to read don't take her.
love this professor, lectures are great easy to understand, very motivational.
I cannot explain how much I regret taking this class. If you want to read 50+ pages in two days take her. I am sure she was a wonderful teacher in person but this online is not it. There is always a quiz every week with videos to watch. Half of the answers are not in the chapters she assigns.
Great professor, quizzes are a huge part of your grade and they get increasingly harder. She is very laid back and clear with instructions. Overall, she was a great professor and I would take a class of hers again.
Her lectures are very interesting.
Very nice professor. Handful of in class essays before midterm. Midterm and final could be tricky but make sure to take good notes!
These ratings are all lies. They only keep the comments that "glorify" her. She's a narcissist who doesn't care about her students, and was completely rude to certain people. She will make sure to pick on you if she doesn't like you. The class is easy but just try to not be her next victim. She SWEAR she funny like no go seek help.
amazing professor, makes lecture so interesting and easy. just take notes of everything she says and do all the assignments you'll glide through the course smoothly with at least a B. has a lot of extra credit opportunities which is great, grading criteria is pretty clear, you'll know exactly what went wrong.
One of the best art professors I've had so far. The most essential thing in this class are your notes; if you don't take good notes, you won't do well on the test. All of her tests are open notes and she gives extra credit in very creative ways, like going to a museum.
Most of her assignments and tests were very hard. She would always go fast when it comes to note taking. You also have to take good notes to be able to do good on her tests, but she was very generous to give out extra credit at the end.
She was very funny and I really liked her,but her class was challenging.The lectures were fast-paced, requiring a lot of note-taking, and it was easy to miss information.While she would briefly go back if asked,she quickly moved on.On the positive side,she offered extra credit, which was very helpful and shes very understanding if you had a problem
Lectures are fast-paced and hard to keep up with, but are interesting. Only 1 essay (can retake if you fail) and 1 major project. Not a difficult class, but she can be passive-aggressive and will pick on you if she wants. No tests, just an open-note midterm and final. Lots of extra credit opportunities. The comments glorifying her are lies.
Very lecture-heavy class, midterms/final are open-note but tough if you dont take detailed notes. Graded on 7 things; 2 in-class writings, midterm, final, project, essay and participation. Professor is really passive-aggressive, picks on students, and will embarrass you for using your phone or dozing off. In person was a waste of time, do online
