It's more than,"Who is Picasso?". It's why Picasso is a surrealist, and why he did what he did. Prof.Thevenot is a humble teacher with a lot of bite to her. She was not easy, but she was not difficult. She challenges you to understand "why" the humanities. Two blog reviews, group midterm, final essay, and a couple of other short essays on Freud.Etc

This woman is unbelievable! If you ask a question, she will ask somebody to answer it, so you'll only have somebody else's opinion (or argument as she likes to call it)but not the correct answer. Those who don't like this kind of classes shouldn't take her. No book needed,but a lot of reading (boring reading). Attendance and punctuality mandatory.

The way this professor teaches is very confusing. She even admit it herself in the beginning of the class and used that reason to teach base on a text book rather than explaining it herself but with the book, it was still useless. She doesn't explain thoroughly and she will answer your questions with a lot of attitude. DO NOT take her class.

Ignore all bad reviews, if you're just lazy don't take her class. She cares about what she teaches, she's great and as long as you read and wanna participate you'll have a blast. There's one big group project, it sounds daunting but it's a lot of fun. Start working on it early. This class can be something you look forward to if you try in it.

Prof. Thevenot is a fun and caring professor. If you pay attention in class and do the readings before the class the lecture will be a lot easier. Its very important to participate in class because she cares about that and its pretty fun if you like discussions. The final was my favorite part and i was surprised about how much i learned!

She's an excellent teacher, tbh. Your grade depends on how much you actively participate and how much you read your textbook. If you're able to master that and you're good with pop quizzes and presentations then you should have no worries. 10/10 would take again. Also she has rules she expects students to adhere to so be respectful to her wishes.

This professor is one of the good ones. Her rules &amp; expectations seem restrictive at first, but she is trying to facilitate a decent learning environment. She is sympathetic, if need be. If you are lazy, disrespectful, or expect an easy A, drop the class. Read the chapters, show up to class, participate in the discussions, and you will do fine.

She is a very good professor and if you pay attention to class you will not have problem to get a good grade (A or B) - You must be prepared (read the chapter) before class because she is going to ask specifics question about the topic she notified you are heading next. - Not a &quot;Tough Grader&quot; but a fair one (so put effort in the work).

I enjoyed this professor but her class can be awkward. Sometimes at the beginning of the lecture she'll ask everyone What do you want to learn today? and the class is dead silent for 15 seconds.
