You have to go to class because the clicker questions are worth 20% of your grade. He drops the lowest 5. Easy tests IF you study. Usually about 25 questions but covers a lot of material.

Speith is very knowledgable on the material, but the lectures are long and hard to pay attention to. Go to class, because clicker questions are a considerable amount of your grade. I wouldn't say his tests are exactly hard, but the amount of material on one test is rather large, especially for 25 questions... You have to study.

He knows the material really well, if you are confused he can answer clearly. He does have a bit of an accent but that doesn't interfere with understanding his lectures. He uses the whole time and gives clicker quizzes at the end for attendance. There are only three tests and they are easy, he gives bonus.

You'd think for an art history class the tests would be on the history of the art cause he talks about it in class. The tests are pictures of the art which he puts up on power point. 25 questions, you have to name either the artist, medium used, place the art is held, or title of the piece. HAVE to study. He really enjoys teaching though.

You have to go to class just for the clicker questions. You don't have to pay attention at all. The tests are literally memorizing images and their titles, years, periods, artists, and medium size. It'll take a lot of memorization but it's well worth it for the easy A.

I learned a lot in his class and thought his teaching was clear. Unfortunately he is the teacher who made me feel the most uncomfortable. While grading papers he encouraged use of "varied words" and I went a bit far on $2 words. In class he made a joke about this, and his essay comments were insulting. Might avoid if uve dealt w emotional trauma

This class is not hard, but it can be boring. The only grades you have are clicker questions at the end of each lecture, one paper, and 3 tests. The tests are not too hard if you study and he is not a hard grader. The professor can be a tad bland in his lecture, but overall the class is not bad. All of his tests come straight from his power points.

Class is easy if you're willing to memorize 200+ notecards to prepare for the 25 question tests that if you miss 2 on you already have a B. Besides that, professor is nice and there is enough people in the class where you'll never be called on. Clicker is necessary and he will sometimes do "tests" to see if you're actually there, so be careful!

This class is extremely easy as long you have it online. The modules are easy to remember and the test are extremely easy as well. Lectures were boring but were not mandatory. This class is Definitely for raising GPA.

Love this class. Almost everything on Quizlet. PowerPoints for all of the artworks on tests in the modules. I literally don't understand how one can make less than an a in this class. Take if you want the gpa boost. No other art credit will be easier.

Submit the assignments on time and you'll be fine. Probably the easiest class to get your art credit or boost GPA. He sends many reminders so it's almost impossible to miss a deadline if you check your email

i went to two lectures, but the only assignments are online quizzes. u can get through the slides and take notes quite quickly, but if u are interested in art history, he goes into much more detail in person than the slides have.

Super easy class. You should get an A/A+ if you maximize your resources. However, if you actually try to learn, the material is also really interesting. Provides same information in video and written formats. Frequently send test reminders. All tests & quizzes are online. No EC or curves. Pretty much at your own pace. What an Art Gen Ed should be.

The class is extremely simple; he provides numerous reminders, and if you complete the quizzes each week, you'll succeed. Make sure not to miss an exam deadline, but he's amazing, so he'll probably give you an extension if you ask. Overall, a wonderful and easy class.

Easily one of the most doable classes at LSU. If anyone tells you otherwise, they are just lazy. He has quizzes due every two weeks and 3 exams that are all easy as long as you know what to look for either in the textbook, online, etc. As long as you keep up with the work (which is not a lot), you should get an A+ in this class.
