She knows what she is talking about but her classes are very boring. I love art and I find myself falling asleep in her class. She shows so many slides that she as to rush threw the class leaving no time for people to comment or ask questions. The last thing about her is that she thinks that she is an English teacher and she will grade your papers

Prof. Haraldson is great. She has to grade papers and make corrections to make us better writers. Maybe the person below should actuallly learn how to write and spell (read the comments and count the errors)!

She wants u to memorize artwork, then she wants u to memorize pointless vocab words, then she wants u to memorize detailed info for 2 paintings & then she wants a 4th thing on the test (which i forgot what that is). She asks u to remember way to much, and shes TO STRICT about attendance.

Haraldson is a very enthusiastic teacher. She loves art and her love for art is pretty contagious. I will say, although, that the class kinda drags on. Looking at slides for the entire span of the class gets a little boring. Buying the book is pretty unnecessary because you will never really use it. Memorize the paintings and you will be fine

Professor Haraldson is a GREAT teacher. The class is pretty easy but can be boring if you aren't interested in Art. The tests are fairly easy, she hands out a study guide a week before the test on the artworks that will be on the test and only 10 out of 25 from the study guide will be on the test. Just pay attention in class and take GOOD notes!!!!

She was an amazing professor! If you show up to every lecture and pay clear attention, do the reading assignments, and the homework, you should definitely be able to get an A! The museum paper was fairly easy and so are the quizzes, midterm, and final. All she looks for is effort. This class was not hard at all. Passed with a 96%!
