Easiest professor you're likely to come across. Tests are 10-15 IDs, short answer, compare/contrast, and a few vocab. She wants everything in bullet point format, so not much real writing. Tests are mind numbingly easy, and so is the class. If you want to be thrilled, you'll be disappointed, but take her if you want to just get through the class.

Wonderful professor. I've talked to my friends about their Art History professors and it sounds like Neal is definitely the best. Outside of the 5 tests you'll have, you may only have one other paper to write. She drops the lowest test grade too. Just pay attention and study and you'll do fine in her class.

A pretty easy class. Neal is understanding but kind of boring. Each test is 10 slide ids, 5 unknowns, 5 vocab words, a compare/contrast, general questions about the time period, and one focus question on a important piece of art. If you take notes in class you can skim the reading. You HAVE to study, but if you do it's a pretty easy A.

Are the tests most of the grade? Yes. But that's a lot of other classes. Neal is great bc the 5 tests aren't all that difficult (especially if you take good notes and listen in class), and there is minimal out of class work (aside from studying). Oh, and she drops your lowest test score, so that's nice. Just be proactive, and you'll do perfectly!

She isn't the absolute best teacher, but I have a lot of respect for her. She loves Art History, and expresses that to her students. She can go on for days about each piece of work. Although, you HAVE to read the text (which is fine for most people), and you HAVE to study for the tests. The tests are handwritten notes about an image on the screen

Prepare for two HUGE group projects in this curation/collection management class - they can make or break your entire grade.

I like her lectures and she seems very passionate about the topics which helps a lot. I do think it is a very rigorous class, as we have to take 20 question before EVERY class. Also her tests are kind of difficult, but manageable. Good professor if you are very interested in Art History, other wise it'll be tedious.

She is one of the least prepared and incompetent professors at scad. During this quarter alone she has over and over again lost slides and messed up chapter lists that you are meant to format your notes after for grades, it is so frustrating to have to do so much out of class work fixing my notes from class because of her mistakes.

Very easygoing, doesn't ask much of you. You submit reading notes for each textbook chapter (and she gives you guides for them) and take 1 open note 10 question multiple choice quiz a week, and that's it for grades. Besides that it's just her lectures, which are tolerable. She's kind and almost grandmotherly.

Professor Neal was a great teacher! Her love for Art History makes her classes entertaining and she cares deeply for her students. If you're taking a class with her be ready to read and submit thorough notes every week, but overall her classes were easy going. Won't tolerate late homework but will give you more than enough time to complete them.

Easy A. Barely any work besides submitting notes, 10 question quizzes once a week, and in-class "investigations." Do not miss her class, because the in-class work cannot be made up, although she drops the lowest grade for both quizzes and investigations. Super chill environment and interesting material, though there is a lot of it to cover.

Barely responds to emails despite asking you to email her, my case was she marked me absent and claiming I was "asleep." She also is very passive-aggressive for many of her emails and messages too whenever you try to confront her. Grading is confusing too, one assignment was for originality and I was marked low for some reason.

Professor Neal is a very kind individual, but you NEED to show up for class. She grades on weekly quizzes and homework assignments that are fairly easy as long as you listen to the lecture.

She's easy cuz she's not good at her job. She shows no enthusiasm for what she's teaching. Multiple times each class, kids would ask simple questions she wouldn't have any answer to, often receiving an answer from another classmate, to which she'd jokingly commend the student who did her job for her in a way that minimizes her own incompetence.

We followed the textbook very closely. Very little of the class was informed by her own experience or expertise. We typically watched videos and death by PowerPoint. It should be easy to get a good grade because a majority of the assignments are 10 question quizzes on each chapter.

This is one of the best classes that I have ever taken. Professor Neal was informative and encouraged open conversation in class. I wish i could go back in time and take it again. If you need an art history class take this class with her!!!

I enjoy the subject of the class and the prof as a person, but every class is mandatory. You get the lowest quiz, notes, and investigation dropped, but if you are sick more than once you're kind of screwed. Investigations are not on the syllabus and appear randomly as attendance grade markers. Death by PowerPoint. Super easy class, though!

Amazing professor! She's so sweet and understanding, and makes the lectures very interesting! You must find a way to get the textbook however as without it this class will be extremely difficult to pass if not impossible. And show up for class! Otherwise it was a breeze.

for diversity in arch history: she shouldn't be teaching an arch history course. I didn't learn anything about arch. I learned about people and their lives but architecture was never discussed using arch terms that I thought I would be learning. I think she gave the same lecture 3 times. she's nice but I wont take a class w/ her again.

Notes and quizzes are due every week. This class is exclusively slideshow lectures for the full 2.5hrs but we consistently got 20-30 minute breaks. In all honesty, it was an incredibly boring class but Dr. Neal is a sweet lady and she was very good with my accommodations. There was no midterm or final which is why I'll probably take her for 122.

Her class was very informative and lecture heavy but in an engaging way. There is one main assignment for the entire class that she describes in a lot of detail and gives plenty of time in class and out of for. Even after I was confused on a grade I got for the class she took the time to talk to me about it and help me understand.

Professor Neal is super nice and her lectures aren't much of a drag despite them taking the essentially the whole class! I found that as long as you listen to her lectures and follow the note lists on blackboard, I had little to no homework. No midterm/final exam, just keep up to date on notes and quizzes + a short formal analysis paper.

Easy A. Dr. Neal wants us to do well and not fail, so quizzes are open-note. I enjoy the videos she shows us, she is sweet and silly, but I agree she could be a little more engaging with fewer videos. There are a few small writing assignments, very simple. She doesn't take late work! Just turn things in on time and you'll get an A.

Professor Neal is AMAZING!! She is one of my favorite teachers I've ever had, and you can tell she truly cares about what she teaches. We only had one real assignment all term, and it was fairly easy. While it was an easier class, I still feel like I learned so much and was excited to learn. The class is lecture-heavy, but she makes it interesting.

Do NOT forget the prequarter assignment, its graded. Prof is very lecture heavy but as long as you do the notes & quizzes ur good. The only big assignment is a 2 paged paper which is nice so no midterm/final bc its 30% of grade. Attendance is lowkey mandatory, you get a participation grade so participating in class activities goes towards this

Prof Neal was okay. The notes assignments felt really long and painstaking but she does relent during midterms and finals. Make sure to read the textbook before class bc she will give one or two pop quizzes. All in all not bad for a foundations class, I just personally am not that in to art history.
