Jen is a great Art History teacher who does not focus on just the classics. All assignments are laid out clearly in the syllabus and her test are fair but not easy. I did not have any previous art background before this class but now I have learned enough to have a meaningfull discussion about art.

You really have to be in class and take the notes to do good. Would not reccomend skipping class. If you take notes, and listen you will do good. She gave us the slide list before tests to study, and she gives about 5 possible essay questions to study, then you choose 1 out of the 3 on the test

Jen uses her knowledge and expertise of modern art to expand on the usual curriculum for art history and open up door ways to periods and artisits that are fresh and intresting. She lets you know exactly what is expected from the get go; show up, take notes, & you excel. For the record, I'm a christian and was not offended at all by her view points

Excellent professor! She is no-nonsense, but does have a good sense of humor. If you treat her with respect, she will treat you with respect. If you pay attention, take good notes, and arrive *on time* daily for class, you will do well. My only regret is not taking her class in the fall, as I would have enjoyed more time with her teaching.

Professor Robinson teaches a very interesting subject. You must attend class to excel. A good course to counter this one is Humanities 2271 because they cover the same material with different focuses and they follow each other fairly closely. The tests are all writing. You need to know what you want to write when test day comes around. You won't have time to sit and ponder on the right answers. Be ready with the important information and you will be fine. I would definitely recommend Prof. Robinson.

The 2 things that people don't seem to like about her class are that 1. you MUST attend and 2. you have to study a little. Oh and about the center of attention thing... she should be the center of attention she is the teacher!!

It's obvious that the previous poster is an imposter. She is not insecure in the least in the classroom, she's extremely knowledgeable and in complete control of the material. There is no "ARH 2000" at the college, and the Julie the poster mentions doesn't teach art history. It is fraudulent and malicious to use RMP for personal grudges. SHAME!

Robinson was very clear. There is a lot of material and reading with weekly assignments that were consistent. eText and MyArtsLab is a must.

I took this course as the new "mini" semester and even though it was really fast Prof. Robinson had clear guidelines. It's really just about reading, taking quizzes, watching some videos and taking tests. If you read, you can pass the quizzes no problem. If you use the study guide you can pass the tests too. I was glad I took this online.

I like how she teaches. There is use of power point visuals and lectures non stop each class. She answers questions quickly and knows her stuff. However, she is a very harsh grader when it comes to essays. I learned a lot but still feel like I got burned because she thought my essays weren't good enough to be an A. Grades too harsh.

There are no tricks in her classes, what you see is what you get. She will tell you exactly what you need to do to succeed. Provides study guides and lots of quizzes to boost up grade.

Mrs. Robinson has been one of my favorite teachers! Her class is lecture heavy but she finds ways to make it interesting by adding in her own pictures and adding in stories to connect the subject matter. For her tests she gives you sample essay questions and then the rest is multiple choice. Very easy online assignments that connect to lecture.

Only bad part is there are random graded short responses spread throughout the class usually after lectures.
