She's very nice and likeable, but her tests are only worth 30 pts each and there's only 3. She goes over a lot of pictures in class but only some are on the test.

Grade: A
Sep 29, 2023

Art 101 shouldn't be my most demanding class this semester. Three 150-point tests determine your grade, and even if you excel in assignments, a single C on a test means a final C grade. Tests are exceptionally hard, and the professor's feedback on my assignments has often been rude, criticizing my choices as weird or stupid.

Took Art 100 during a 7 week course, and it's by far the best course I've ever taken! The work was very light and very easy to manage. I never liked Art, but I definitely enjoyed taking her class. Each module consisted quizzes for each chapter and in the end a test with lockdown browser so beware of that!
