She really knows her stuff but, expects too much of her students. There is way too much reading every week and a ton of memorization that is pretty challenging. There are a lot of papers so that helps your grade out but the tests are difficult to predict.

She expects people to know as much as she knows. She assigns too much homework for one class. She has a paper due every week- which she grades pretty hard on. Also the tests are hard. It is based on what she has said in class, aka: attendance matters, so if you missed you're screwed.

This is a hard class, but she made it interesting. She really knows the material. She is excellent with the use of classroom time and her syllabus was very clear about what to expect. If you take good notes, you will know what to expect on the tests. Written assignments made up about 1/3 of the grade and tests the rest.

Sister Rimmasch is a very nice and helpful teacher. She doesn't worry about any curves in her classes. Her presentations are excellent, and they are all you need to know for the tests. I never read the textbook once. Take great in-class notes because that is where all the questions on the test come from.

This was my favorite class at the BYU salt lake center. I initially took it because I knew I would love learning about musics' effect on the arts in this time period, but had no idea I would also love many of the weekly response journals we had. Take this class with a few friends or make a study group. The tests are pretty detailed, read the book.

Take this class from Professor Rimmasch! She teaches clearly, her assignments are straight forward, and you learn a lot. She loves what she teaches, which really got me to appreciate art more. Just do the little assignments, participate in class, and take good notes, and you'll do well in the class. (Bonus: IHUM 202 counts for two GenEd credits)

Professor Rimmasch is amazing, I would 100% take her again! She cares for her students and structures the class so you can succeed. Tests are strictly on lecture + alot of info, make sure you go to class. Papers are easy, 7/10 or more for doing it, make sure you know the material for class discussion bc she will call on you. Read just for papers.

Professor Rimmasch is a WONDERFUL teacher who really cares about her students' success and learning. I took IHUM 201 and IHUM 202 concurrently from her. Here is the bottom line: Professor Rimmasch gives you everything you need to be successful in this course, but whether or not you are successful is based on how much effort you put into studying.

Professor Rimmasch who puts a lot of time into each lesson and wants each student to succeed. I took 201 and 202 because of how much I was able to learn. It is one of the tougher classes I've taken at BYU and requires a lot of work outside of class to succeed.

I didn't even know what humanities was before I took this class, but Professor Rimmasch made it one of my favorite classes that I have taken at BYU. I took this class at the Salt Lake Center so it was only once a week and each lecture was super interesting and went by way fast. The only homework we had was writing a paper and some reading.

Professor Rimmasch is an excellent teacher. She is very passionate about humanities and draws you into her point of view where history and culture come to life. I honestly was not looking forward to this class but it became one of my favorite classes of the semester. She makes studying for the tests very straightforward. Loved this class!

Professor Rimmasch is one of the best, if not the best professor at BYU. She really cares about you as her student and will do anything and everything she can to make sure that you succeed in the class. In order to be successful you need to go to class and soak in all the info that you go over in class and study it. She will also reward effort.

My program isn't at all related to Humanities so I took this class for credit fulfillment at the Salt Lake Center in the Summer. If I knew I would like it so much, I might have taken it anyways. Prof. Rimmasch is really passionate about what she teaches and genuinely cares that you learn the material. Lots of it, but it's interesting and enjoyable.

She is HER. One easy response paper due each week and then 3 tests in total. Tests are a bit harder but mostly because of the amount of material there is. But for how stupid and difficult GEs are at BYU, this one is extremely reasonable and well structured. Rimmasch is kind, thoughtful, and is a great prof. Would highly recommend.

Class attendance is necessary to succeed. There are 3 tests total but no comprehensive final. The tests are very hard but study hard and you will do well. There are also weekly readings and papers on the reading but lightly grade. Professor Rimmasch is very kind and cares deeply about each of her students and will help anyone 1on1 when requested.

She is very passionate about the subject she teaches. She is also very personable and I felt like I had a relationship with her just from being in her class. The class was 1/week in the SLC center. There was a small paper due every week before class, which was then talked about in class. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I would recommend it.

incredible! She structures the class so the beginning of the semester is more reading heavy/harder content and later it's more chill. She also provides a lot of extra credit at the beginning as well to balance it out. The tests include a lot of content but she gives you all the resources to do well. Makes the content really engaging.

There are frequent writing assignments, but in my opinion, they were very easy if you are a practiced writer. Lots of memorization as well, but similarly very doable if you study.
