even though i am taking this course with an honors contract i find it to be understandable and interesting. i think her teaching style is very helpfull and the material she covers riveting.

She knows art! Great class, put togehter well!She is also very helpful! I would take another of her classes.

I loved this class. The prof. was great. if you art history doesn't interest you don't take this for a gen. ed. class! I stayed interested through the whole semester. You have to write one research paper but it is no big deal. let's you use notecard test

Very understaning

Her class is somewhat hard, but you really learn about art, and are able to remember what your have learned.

Rogers is probably one of the most interesting art history teachers at mirmar or mesa. She makes it easy to pass, there are two big assignments that are pretty easy. She wants you to pass and she offers extra credit to get your grade up. Highly recommended.

If you are looking for a REAL review, this is the one. You are prob saying to yourself Besterchart or Rogers right? Well pick Rogers, this woman is easy to understand and will, yes teach you an in-depth analysis of what you need to learn in her class, 4 exams, drops the lowest of the first 3. 2 Visual Analysis, plenty EC, 4 HW's, & Essay.

Took it online. Way too much work for an art class. 3 exams & 1 final all requiring short answer and a lengthy essay. 4 reading critiques in essay format. Museum review in essay format. 1 quiz each week, and a few other assignments. Good teacher, responds quickly to ?'s, grades fairly, wants you to succeed. Just be prepared for a lot of work.

I enjoyed art before, but Denise Rogers took it to a whole new level for me. She requires a LOT of work, but she's clear and wants you to succeed. She gives you all possible test questions in advance - really study and write out the answers in advance, and you'll succeed. I loved this class and recommend it for anyone into art.

I took 3 art history classes together and this 111 was more work than those classes combined! The quizzes are every week, and are moderately hard. The discussions aren't hard (every 2 weeks). The essays (part of the tests) where graded easy but the test portion (every 4 weeks) was really challenging. SHe does give you study guides - do those!

I've taken 3 classes with Prof. Rogers both online and on campus. There is a heavy work load but we are in college to learn something and when I finished the class I actually did. Do the work and you'll get an A, not rocket science. I love art and I love it even more after taking her classes. She's very knowledgeable and loves what she does.

I loved this class. Her lectures were great and very interesting. She uses a web sites for homework, essays, and study guides, plus uploads her power point lectures on to website. I recorded her lectures and replayed them while looking over power point. Study and you'll get an A, I did. plus drops 1 of 4 tests and gives tons of extra credit.

easy class and laidback, helpful teacher, do everything with somewhat of a compreshension and youll get an A

Great teacher in terms of style- clear, interesting, straightforward. She just thinks this is the only class I have. Tests consist of cramming 50 artists, 150 questions, and 2 ESSAYS (but we only have 10 slides, 15 questions, and 1 essay during the test). A bunch of busy work. If you have a full load, don't take. Gives a bunch of extra cred though.

Very reasonable prof. Class is tough b/c it's a lot of info and memorization but she has review sheets and lists of the artists/ pieces you should know so you know what's coming and what to ask questions about. You can have a notecard for the exams too. They're mostly based on lecture though so don't miss class!

I wasn't going to take this class because I had no interest in art. But I added her class because her lectures interested me! It was hard not to fall asleep just because I'm not a morning person, but as long ad you print out her study guides in advance and fill them out while she lectures, you can pass easily. I did this and always studied the night before, and I aced the course. Don't be lazy and do every assignment (there aren't many). You don't even have to read the book. Leniant grader

ALOT of work for a Art History class but if your smart you can find your way around it! Did not learn anything about art and managed an A!

The class suffers from too many countries and time periods of art crammed into one semester. The lectures are at light speed and if you blink an eye you've missed something important. The class is hard if you try to learn it all, but manageable if you know what you need to learn to pass. Professor is knowledgeable and gives plenty of extra credit.

I'm guessing the posts are not from art majors...I found the course very interesting and Prof. Rogers very knowledgeable and professional. If you're not interested in Art History find another G.E. because us AH majors appreciate the detail. Yes its a lot of work, we're in college to learn and I learned a lot of useful information.

Yes, the class is hard. Don't be a slacker. If you come to class, take notes, and do the study guides (They tell you EXACTLY what you need to know) you will get an A. Plenty of extra credit opportunities. She's really knowledgeable. Love her classes.

This class was pretty hard for GE for me, but i would highly recommend it to art majors. She does try to cram a little too much info into "arts of the asian continents," but is clear about what she teaches. There is a lot of work, but if you do it you should be okay since she provides exactly what you should know. She is extremely knowledgeable.

She's a great professor. She knows what she is talking about, doesn't cram information, and is very clear on what she is teaching. The only downside is that it is a very hard class. You really have to work hard in order to pass. Overall, she is a nice and awesome professor. Take her, but expect hard work! Don't if you're a slacker.

Helped me finally "get" modern art. Lots of studying, but she tells you EXACTLY what she's going to test on. Lots of extra credit available. If I had room in my schedule, I'd take more of Denise's classes. If I had it to do over, I'd buy the old text book. Also bought the "recommended" books, and they were helpful. Good prof for open-minded student

I hate this site, but I came to put a good word in for those who are considering taking her classes. Her teaching style honestly sets you up for transfer to a four-year. Her lectures are thorough and writing assignments are a lot of work, but plan ahead and by the end, you will have learned AND RETAINED so much. She's A MUST for Art History majors!

I took this class during the summer thinking i could get a g.e. out of the way. It was pretty tough. There is a lot of reading and 4 discussion posts and a lot of other work to do - handouts, powerpoint lectures, and ask her questions. She's not going to let you slack off, it's college not high school. I learned a lot and had to work for it.

This was a pretty fun class and not really that hard. The workload was heavy, but it's art history... I learned a lot, but I also enjoy reading and don't need the professor there to hold my hand. She was easy on grading for the most part, turning in assignments late wasn't an issue. I thought this was a pretty good online course.

This class teaches you how to study! Assignments are pretty clear, you can't slack off or wait until the last minute to study. Heavy workload,several papers, written critiques, quizzes and exams. But she gives you study sheets for exams which are extremely helpful.

Gives handouts for exams, quizzes online plus reading. Pretty straight forward just put in the effort.

She guides your study by giving 3 study guides per exam: a list of slides, a questions list, and a glossary.. She does not give you the answers to memorize- you have to read and hunt them down. She also gives a list of essay questions, one of which will be on the exam. Don't be a slacker and you'll be fine. It's college-she does not dumb it down

This class is best for art majors - don't expect it to be easy. If you don't know how to study, this class will make you learn how to do it, IF you put in the effort. Hardest thing is memorizing the art slides and being able to write an essay for every test. You can't wait to the last minute to do the reading or ignore the worksheets.

A must take professor for Art History Majors. She will prepare you for what lies ahead as far as reading and writing. There is a guy in my group and he is taking it for general ed. He says it's a hard class for him, but she makes it interesting. You must answer questions in the study guide they are on the test. You must look up the slides. READ

Best for art majors planning to transfer to a 4-yr school. This is not a class for dummies. Not a class for whiners. Not for anyone looking for an easy GE class. She will not dumb anything down just for you. You will get the grade you earned. If you want to learn what a college class is really like, take this one.

This professor prepares students for the next level. It's a tough course with lots of reading and writing. It's what I expected for a college level class. In class discussions help prepare for the exams. She will always respond to questions and provide study guides. Good for art majors.

If you're lazy, a serial procrastinator, and don't even like art, then DO NOT take this class. This is a VERY hard class. You're going to have to put a lot of time and effort to pass this class, but there are extra credit options. LOTS of papers, in-class activities, and presentations! Great professor, just a very hard class.

I had Denise for an online intersession class, meaning 4 weeks. To be honest I expected the workload to be way worse. We had a short essay each week, and two big papers due at the end of the 4 weeks. Textbook access code was required. I didnt listen to the online lectures and I did fine. Most work was available from the beginning. Nothing crazy.

I took her online African Art class and it was a little harder than most online classes. She provides extra credit though which allowed me to get an A. You don't have to buy a textbook since she provides all the readings. The class was very interesting and worth while.

The best teacher I have ever had take her you cannot go wrong!I had a reakly terrible life changing event happen and she worked with me!

I've actually taken this professor for two classes now, African Art and Asian Art. Her lectures are outstanding. If you have a genuine interest in art I strongly recommend you take her. Her knowledge plus her passion for art made this a class I looked forward to every single time.

I don't know why Prof. Rogers has such low reviews! She is so kind and really cares about her students success. She will work with you if you need help. Grade consists of three essays, research & museum paper, & a few online quizzes (w/study guides). Extra credit offered! I am taking her again for Asian Art online, I highly recommend Prof. Rogers.

This was such a good class. We went over different art from different countries throughout history. Exams are pretty easy but you do them at home. If you miss class you will fall behind so go to class. She offers enough extra credit and make up that you can get an A as long as you try.

Denise knows ART! I wasn't looking forward to this class, yet it turned out to be a class I looked forward too! Complete your assignments, don't procrastinate and it will be smooth sailing. I was most inspired learning about performance art. Preview if you're interested, Yoko Ono "Cut Piece," and Yves Klein "Blue Women Art"

Prof Rogers is a wonderful professor. I 1st met her when I 1st attended Mesa College and decided 2 give myself a challenge by taking her honors class for Art 109. To say the least, both the regular class and honors class were easy. As long as you showed up to class everyday (only twice a wk 4 her class) and do study guide, you're guaranteed an A.

One of the greatest professors who truly knows about art. Although theres a good amount of work its very interesting if you love history. Upside to the workload is that she's an easy grader and allows students to really voice their views and opinions. Also has extra credit. Super nice and is always laughing so theres rarely a dull moment.

You have a quiz for every unit, and have to write 4 papers. Her quizzes are hard and something you have to get used too. She ask for a lot of detail. Overall it is a fun class and she is super easy to get in touch with and responds fast. She post her powerpoint and articles to read. You must read them. It's all asynch but you need to set time aside

Overall there was a lot of reading but a good teacher and there are no trick questions on the tests. If you manage to have a good schedule and study habits, you'll be fine passing the class. Good material overall.

I learned a lot. She is very knowledgeable. Nice class

It was an easy class if you do the assignments on time and read the textbook. Since it was online, most of the content for the quizzes was online but I recommend reading the book and the lectures

Good online class to take.

I took this class because when I was little, I was OBSESSED with women artists, and it definitely transferred to this course. So much rich history and incredible knowledge. You can truly see how women spoke out and up through creativity.
