She is such a wonderful teacher. She explains everything so clearly and is very helpful, too. The class is great.
This class was soooo boring! She teaches this class for people who already have a good understanding of art history and art techniques; do not take if you don't. Off sched.- we had to push back an exam by 3 weeks. She then told us that we would have to work harder to make it up at the end (to cover her incompetence)! Very vague on exam material.
Rhonda was anything but boring or incompetent!!! The exam was multiple choice, how vague is that?! She Rocks! So funny and helpful and let us vote on how we wanted to be tested. She always treated us like real people. This was one of the best classes I've had at RCC.
Rhonda is so smart, she answered every question about everything. I learned more than just about art. She was great, helpful and very funny. Exams were straightforward, too.
By far one of the best proffesors at RCC. She makes class interesting which gets everyone involved. Test are super easy, because she tells you exactly what's going to be on them. no homework or reports as lonf as you pay attention to the lectures and take some notes, you will do fine.
She is super cool! Tests are easy if you study. Gives reviews for her tests. I got a 97 then a 95 so if anyone needs advice e-mail me. She's very understanding if you let her know your going to be late, sick etc..
Very helpful, makes lectures entertaining. If you pay attention to her you can pull off 90s on the test without reading the book. Gives study sheets for exactly what is on the test. She has a good sense of humor and will acually make fun of some paintings. Takes attendance- not always, cool if you miss a few. Only 3 easy tests and short papers.EASY
She is very easy, If you do well on the first two exams and the writing assignments you dont have to take the final.
Rhonda rules! If you are going to take Art History, you must take Rhonda. She's fun, interesting, and she's not bad to look at either. She reviews for her tests and she gives extra credit.
this teacher is great! she knows what she's talking about and if you don't understand anything clearly, you can raise your hand in the middle of class and you won't feel akward. test are easy- she has review sheets for the tests. extra credit available to turn in at any time. Don't leave early unless you leave a note! fun class.
This class was really fun and Rhonda is extremely helpful. She does not expect the students to know the anything about art beforehand. She's extremely fair and lets students debate about how they want to be tested. I agree that she treats all of the students like people and geniunely cares about the students' concerns. One of the better profs @ RCC
She is sooooo awesome! I learned so much in her class...and the class was very interesting...No one should fail this class! She is humorous and full of energy...very down-to-earth and not uptight...I recommend this lady of anyone...she's a doll! Definitely one of my favorite teachers
This is a teacher I have taken prior to this class and will continue to take for semesters to come. She is an amazing educator that everyone needs to have at some point.
I took this class online it was a cool class but a lot of work. If you want an easy A or B take her. The only think is some of her assignment or not clear.
one word= AWESOME! she is a very good teacher! she lectures and we take note but she has a study guide for EVERY TEST, and helps u w/ the study guides...u dnt even have to do it because she will give all of the answers...and she let us choose the type of tests...u basically have to be a dumb@ss not to pass this class! SHE IS THE GREATEST TEACHER!=]
Ms. Taube is one of the nicest teachers I've had. She makes sure that the students know what kind of tests she is going to give, and makes changes after hearing suggestions to make it even more easier for them. Art History is interesting only to a certain extent, but she throws in a few jokes here and there to try to make the class better. Take her
Possibly one of my favorite teachers!
My favorite teacher I have ever haD! Very nice and helpful! She is also an easy grader. I definetly recommend taking her!
Her class is designed with great thought. The outline she has to visit different museums and exercises she has is amazing. I came away from this course truly with an understanding of enjoying and appreciating Art more than ever and interesting to learn about our past and present Artists. Good class and teacher.
Ms. Taube is one of the most sweetest and funniest teachers I have ever met. She's very sympathetic and empathetic. Her teaching style is awesome and very helpful. Take her, you will love it.
I love the way Mrs. Taube teaches, I'd take her again if I could! She mostly lectures and shows power points of the material. There's like three tests all semester and no work. A day before the test she give you practice exam with basically all the answers. The first time I used the textbook was for the final.
Easy class and an awesome (not to mention hot) teacher. Take it.
I took this class on-line thinking it would be an easy A, boy was I wrong. This was the hardest A I've ever earned. Lots of BS assignments, which usually need clarification. Uses web-sites that are not user friendly, and 50% of the time the links don't work. She gives assignments as if her class were the only one your taking.
This was my 6th online class and probably the only one I learned anything in. I truly enjoyed it! Class designed with great care, we visited lots of museum websites. There is homework each week, but if you follow the directions, very easy. I suppose if you were looking for "easy A" surprise, it's a college class and I feel got my money's worth.
Took this class on-line. If you have lots of time to clarify the assignments, and are not taking a full load that would be the only reason to take this professor. She exposes you to lots of art(great) but on websits that take forever to find what your looking for. If you get stressed out during finals week, try working on a 10 page final report.
Your in for alot of homework. The mid-term was a seven page report and the final a 9 page report. This professor is off the hook. I hope art is your major if not you might want to try someone else. Oh ya and the websites she uses... well lets just say I hope you have nothing else to do because its going to take a while.
One of best profs at RCC. No homework, only 3 exams and the review sheets are the exams. She hands them out in class and available on her website. Very humorous, never thought cave art could be so funny, lol...Rhonda had us in stitches the whole time.
Prof. Taube was an excelent teacher she is very understanding and really enjoyes art. I took this class online, and I wouldnt say it was easy, it takes alot of time but i came away from it with alot of knowledge in art and im not an art major. I would recomend her. she is very nice.
Mrs. Taube made art easy and interesting for those of us who are not Art majors. Her assignments are weekly and require you to visit websites and write about what you saw. It is like traveling the world. There are no test or quizes. The midterm and finalare a little bit lengthy however if you visited the websites you will be ok. Great teacher!!
mrs. taubes class for art was a pleasent experince she is not picky and very flexible, the class flowed smoothly right along.there are weekly short assigmts due and one midterm and final jus stay on top of the reading every now and then to get familar with the chapter and verbage and ull soar throught the class!
she is great teacher! She makes the class fun. Her classes make you want to learn more about art. She is the reason I want to become an art major. I totally recommend her if you want a class that you can learn new things and broaden your horizons. :)
I love Mrs. Taube! Best class I took all semester. I learned alot and she made class fun and exciting. :)
i was a concurrent highschool student when i took this class. it was extremely easy!!!!!!! no homework 3 tests it was all multipe choice and she gives you review sheets before the test to study (p.s those were basically the test) intresting class shes so FUNNY! and really down to earth! i enjoyed her alot and shes def laidback!!! i learned alot too
before this woman came into my life school was all monotone cleareyes spokesmen. she has an awsome sense of humor and a very a very liberated personality. her class is very informative and easy. her teaching style is sort of like a mother trying to feed her child when s/he doesn't want to eat by pretending that the spoon is a train or airplace.
I took two of Rhondas art history courses while I was in attendance at RCC. She remains one of my favorite teachers, I learned so much from her! If you have a chance, do yourself a favor and take her class.
She is incredibly funny and is a very interesting teacher. Her tests are way too easy as long as you study a bit. I didn't buy the book and still got an A+!!
Rhonda was a fun teacher. Her class was real easy. Only had 3 exams and gave study guides before exams. She gave extra credit. Class was extremely and very informing.
Great teacher. Keeps things clear and is always willing to explain. All you have to do to pass is go to class.
Ronda was a great teacher. I really enjoy her class and love the fact that we don't have to buy a book. I don't like art but I actually enjoyed her class. Take it she is a really understanding teacher and students friendly.
She is so cool! She's always smiling and she keeps things interesting. You can tell she really loves what she does.
rhonda is the freaking chillest teacher ever! i have no interest in art but it was a last resort class and i got an A and went to class like 4 times no lie. she is so nice, funny, offers extra credit, lets you out early, there is two easy tests and a final and she gives you a full review the day before. wish i liked art cuz i'd take her again!!
i took taube for art-1 and man she was so chill..just 3 exams and she gives everyone study guides that are basically the exams. i do regret buying the book because it was a rip off and i didnt even use it once...take this teacher if your getting art-1 out of the way!
She's AMAZING! Everyone needs to take her don't think twice. There is NO HW and 3 tests,gives study guides that are not mandatory but they are THE TEST, seriously! She's fun, always smiling, NEVER boring, liberal thinker. Best teacher I've ever had at RCC! Treats students as equals & makes class fun & interesting. I'd take her again & again! :D
Rhonda is an amazing teacher. She's a liberal/progressive thinker, but she's sensitive to conflicting views. I loved this course & if I had the opportunity, I would definitely take another class with her. She treats students with respect and is a fair and generous grader. She's one of my favorite teachers. Just go to class and read the articles. :]
Very easy class, only 3 test and she gives out study guides, I got an A and did not even buy the book. Just by attending class and doing the study guides. Take her.
This class was one of the best I've taken. She really knows what she is talking about. Most importantly she can teach without having to stress you out at all plus you don't have to buy the expensive book. I definitely recommend her!
she's a great professor that makes sure you know the material by giving you a chance to prepare for the test with study guides
I loved this teacher. The discussions are engaging. There is limited work, but that doesn't mean it's an easy A. You must show her that you can write, and actually take a coherent position and defend it well. You will like this teacher a lot... most likely.
OMG! I love love Dr. Taube. She is sooo funny and down to earth and she is so passionate about art, its so funny to watch her talk about different artists! Please take her, even if art hist isn't intresting to u, it will be with her! Wonderful class! A+!
The best educator at RCC, period. If you don't get an A then you're not taking your college education even remotely seriously. She is an absolute delight to be around.
Professor Taube's Art History 2 class was both fun and easy. She covers the material well, and is never bland or dull in teaching. Attend class, pay attention, and you should do extremely well.
Excellent professor! Extremely passionate about the material she teaches which is infectious. Very easy class to pass - attend, pay attention to interesting lecture and follow the study guide.
She is hands down the best Art History professor known to man. If you want an A go to class listen& take notes on the lectures. She gives study guides that she goes through in detail. Also make sure you attend class because she will drop you considering she usually has about 20 people on her waiting list. Take her!!!!
Class was really easy, hardly used the book because of the study guides and reviews. She makes the class much more interesting than it should be.
awesome class and the easiest class i've taken at RCC. She gives you all the answers to the study guide the session before the test and the test is identical to the it. I got a much needed A and i hate art.
One of my favorite teachers, her passion shines through her teaching. great sense of humor, and she really involves herself in her students.
She is such a sweet, funny, wonderful lady. Her Non-Western Art class was a blast and I learned so much from her. I will defiantly take her again if I need another Art History class!
One of the easiest classes I have ever taken! A study guide is given and a complete review the day before the test. Hard not to get an A in the class.
prior to this class had no knowledge of subject but was interested. use of 2 textbks. 3 exams (not comprehensive & no midterm nor final). class consists of lecture of art pcs. read the assigned chapter & take notes. prof provides a studyguide for exam. extra crd is provided. prof is passionate about material, easy-going, & helpful
Awesome teacher. She knows her stuff and presents class in a very interesting and entertaining way. Really promotes class discussion and is very interested in helping students out. Advice: Just don't procrastinate on papers! She is very accommodating too.
I've taken two of her classes, and I still find her an amazing professor. She knows her material and is very nice. She is incredibly quirky and funny and altogether one of my favorite professors at RCC.
I've taken 2 of her art history classes. She is an energetic, spunky, funny, very detailed oriented teacher. She does a lot of lecturing, but she isn't just some mono-toned gal, she gets you interested in what she is saying. ATTENDANCE is crucial, she gives you ALL the details you need for tests! I never had to read the book. Would take her again.
She is one of the best professors I've had. Very entertaining and passionate about what she teaches. Very helpful and understanding. You will be drawn into her and her teaching. I enjoyed her class. I'd definitely take her again.
I really loved this class!This professor knows her stuff and is funny and does go off topic, but her rants are hilarious. Got As on both tests and the week before the final she, she decided that if you had an A you didnt have to take it! No book, gives review before tests, 2 fun writng assignments! I definately recommend her
She's a great professor that is very passionate about the material she's teaching. You just can't miss class or you'll quickly fall behind.
I just took this professor! I have to say I am really grateful to God this woman exists! She is ENTERTAINING and an amazing professor! Her class is super fun and I wish I could take it again. Easiest A to get! Take this professor SERIOUSLY!
I HAVE HER ONLINE CLASS.I ENJOY HER CLASS IT IS VERY EASY AND FUN. I RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE. VERY EASY...
+Great teacher,no homework,little textbook use,mainly quizes and lectures and some extra credit,shares her own experiences, easy class and you learn as well and GREAT teacher with awesome style.
I have taken 5 classes with Rhonda and she is the BEST teacher at RCC. Even if you are not an art major you will enjoy the class. You don't need the book, just take good notes and do her study guide and show up to class. She is extremely helpful and available for her students. I changed my major to Art History after taking 1 class with her! :)
she is so awesome! you learn a lot from her, she knows the subject like she was there. dont even bother buying the book, you wont need it. during lecture write down everything that she says. for quizzes just read the notes and you should be fine. for the midterm and final i recommend flashcards, they help a ton. great class, i highly recommend it.
rhonda da bomb, I didnt kno s**t about art historay but after her classed i learned a lot. She gettn da youth outta da ghetto, much love and respect. 17th street compton
SHe was promoted T-T. she is a really good teacher. if you can catch a class with her, take her!
She's hot and intelligent! Very interesting lectures. Art 8 covers Meso-American culture. Her class sparked my intellectual curiosity on the subject and her exams were easy to take, if you studied your guide! Overall, attend class, ask questions, do your work, study, do extra credit and you'll pass the class! Take her class!
I LOVE HER AND SHE IS AWESOME SHE TOLD ME BECAUSE I HAVE AN A- THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE THE FINAL SHE IS HOT AND SMART AND ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT WHAT SHE TEACHES. went through the whole course without a text and still managed an A- and I did terrible on all her quizzes. Just do well on the midterm and final :)
Definately get a class with her!!!Easy A! The class material might seem boring but her fun personality keeps the class interested. You do NOT need a text book for her class just take good notes. She has study guides on her website that you can print out and she goes over the answers the class before the test. And her final isn't accumulitive
Suuuuper easy A! Do good on the quizzes and midterm and you won't have to take the final! Lectures are interesting because of her sense of humor. Loved this class!
Awesome teacher totally take her had her for art 1 2 5 and 8 amazing so funni and energetic she is never a bore ....take her if u can
She's the most amazing and talented and intelligent teacher i have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Course is easy, what she teaches is interesting, and im glad im not the only one who thinks shes hot ;p haha Shes never in a bad mood, and will always make learning the best expirience:)
Rhonda is AMAZING. I loved her class and she is so nice! She is always smiling and her class environment was phenominal! I got an A just by doing good on the midterm. Didn't even have to take the final. GOSH THIS WOMAN is INSANELY AWESOME. Keep it up!
I hated art, and took this class to get over my requirement. Professor Taube's way of teaching and explaining really shed some light on this subject for me, and now I appreciate the subject.
took taube in the fall she was a very interesting teacher she was very easy and likes letting students decide test format the lectures were interesting and she always tries keeping students attention she loves what she does
Prof. Taube is a very fair grader, she's very interested in what she does, and explains things very well! Be sure to show up to class every day for the first three weeks, she may drop you otherwise. You don't need to buy the textbooks, because she only tests on what's covered in class, but I found them interesting.
She was a brilliant professor; took her last year. She made the material really interesting and fun to learn. If you're not into "primitive" arts, then this might not be the class for you. But if you're curious about other cultures and their way of life, this is the class for you! It's a very easy and fun class. Got to lecture and you'll do well.
Prof. Taube is absolutely AMAZING! She is energetic and keeps you intrigued in her class. The art works are very interesting. She loves what she does so much that she makes you love it as well. Attendance is very important and don't be late, she doesn't like that (it will affect your grade) Just do the work on time and you'll be golden!
This professor is funny. The class is enjoyable and easy to pass. In addition, you can learn the materials to be able to enjoy art work. What more can one ask for in a introductory level college class?
Took for art 8, mexican art history. Great class, she is VERY knowledgeable in subject matter. Makes the class fun and is always in a great mood.
She is my favorite professor at rcc. She almost made me rethink my major. Her classes have always been my favorite. She's quiet funny and likes to communicate with her students. I would totally take her again! She's great and worth taking!
I took her for Intro to Visual Culture and it was a really enjoyable class. She's funny and her lectures are good. The class was easy, as long as you do the assigned work and show up to class you'll pass.
Professor Taube is really engaging. She keeps you interested in the history and it's easy to really enjoy learning. I loved her attitude and how open she is with sharing her knowledge about art, I also really admired her work in archaeology with art. She inspired me to keep pursuing my art major! I would definitely recommend her for all majors!
originally took a course with another professor but Professor Taube subbed the majority of the course. My description is based purely on the professor and not necessarily the class policy or style. Professor Taube is very energetic during lecture, easy to understand, and even funny at times with a odd sense of humor. Would def take another course.
BEST TEACHER EVER! If you want to learn about any era of art this teacher is the way to go. I hated art before I took this class . She is clearly in love with what she teaches and understands how to make student fall in love with it as well. She is very laid back and the most approachable teacher. Also take takes as she is saying the information.
Taube's online class is, at best, disorganized. Many broken links. Many typos. Zero feedback. On top of all of this, she has been MIA for a month! NO grades, NO email responses, and absolutely no feedback on the class discussion board where we are encouraged to post questions/comments. Too, she requires a $200+ text that is not used in the course.
Dr. Taube is a really nice and energetic professor! My class was silent so it was hard sometimes for her to keep us entertained but she still did somehow. As long as you take notes and study the paintings you will easily pass. She offers extra credit as well in the midterm and finals to help the students' grades. Great teacher overall!
I took Dr. Taube's Art Appreciation course for the spring semester and it was fairly easy. As many will say she does take a long time to grade assignments, but understand she is a very busy teacher. I had her for another course but in class and witnessed how many meetings, etc. she has to be in. Easy A class overall!
I took her Art Appreciation class online for the Spring Semester. Many of the links she posted in the lessons were broken, so it was harder to find certain information that matched what she was looking for. She "checked out" about half-way through the semester. Ended up not respond to anyone's emails or questions in the discussion board when needed
Had Art 6 online class and my experience was be prepared to read, write, and think a lot. Updates are on the class homepage and on the discussion board so you have to check both a lot. She doesn't answer any questions about homework or the class in email, so she won't respond unless it's personal. But if you ask on DB, she will. Overall easy, fun.
Professor Taube's class can be confusing. Sometimes it's not completely clear what is an assignment or what is required to be a discussion board post. I stopped posting on the discussion board half way through the semester because they weren't being graded and I felt like I was wasting my time. I rented the book off amazon and never opened it.
I've taken a lot of online classes and this is one of the best I've ever had! Professor always replied to emails and DB posts. There is weekely homework, but if you follow the directions, she grades pretty easy. I really enjoyed the lessons, especially at the end of the semester, as they made me think about art in a way i never had before.
Don't spend $200 on the book when you can get it online ebook version for just $15. Just google the name of the book anyways, and you will find it. Class was super easy. Took it over winter online. It will be even more easy if you take during a regular semester. I suggest u take online though! Such an easy A!
I took this class online and it was super easy. I bought the book for $15, didn't use it one time. She posts "notes" and you can read through those and you'll be fine. Do the homework and post on the DB's and you'll pass, she had extra credit i didn't do it and still got an A while doing all the hw and DB's like an hour before they were due.
Shes honestly such a fun and amazing professor
The best honors professor I have took. Taube makes this class so much fun, interesting, and easy. She is really passionate on what she does especially when lecturing about artworks. Test are slide identifications and short essay. Gives many extra credit opportunities and is a very easy grader. Take her. She is the best!
One of the best honors professors on campus. Taube makes the class interesting and fun. Take notes on lectures. They're on quizzes and exams. Take her, you will not regret it!
Professor Taube is by far one of the best professors here at RCC! She cares about her students and also has a strong passion for Art History which makes the class very enjoyable. She is also hilarious! You do have a discussion once a week, so be prepared to read. Overall, the class was not hard, but it was fun! Take her if you have the chance!
Class should be renamed how to be a white hating liberal. If you agree with her extremely obvious political stance then this class will be wonderful for you. If you do not then it will be as horrible for you as it has been for me. But on the only upside it was an easy A, so whoo?
took her online and was easy! no textbook require so do not waste your money. Just take a few notes on the notes she provides and you will pass!
Dr. Taube was fun and made class interesting. Read the material and you will pass w flying colors. Offers lots of extra credit to make up for late/missing assignments. Textbook not necessary as she includes everything you need to know in the modules. If you decide to buy it get it on ebook for $20!
Incredibly easy class to pass. If you put a small amount of work forward youll get an A. My only issue is she have an assignment that forced her political/personal beliefs into us. She gave an example of cultural appreciation told us we have to write about how cultural appropriation is wrong.
loved the class! very easy & interesting. would take her again for sure!
She is one of the best art teachers. assignments are not confusing at all and about every other week there is a short quiz with about 10 questions that has to do with what you read but it is not and long crazy reading. Just make sure you are on top of it. Would take this class again!
One of the most easy class I have taken! No huge exams, but rather there are discussion posts every week, a few small assignments every other week, and a few quizzes as well. The quizzes arent hard and only have a few questions. She is not as accessible online, but the assignments are straight forward! Also so many ec opportunities!! Shes great!!
effortless A. its either a simple short assignment or a short 10Q quiz. u can complete everything in less than a day and have the rest of the week to urself. no textbook needed, she gives u all the info u need in modules. some of the links dont work but u can just use google. gives LOTS of EC and NO FINAL. take this class!
great professor. she gives everything you need to succeed, had absolutely no stress with this class the entire semester. lots of interesting material and super light and straight forward assignments. if you could take her for a class then do it!!
This was a really easy class, we had discussions every week and quizzes as well, no midterms and a final. She would also give out a ton of extra credit opportunities which is greatly appreciated. Honestly loved this class!
Dr Taube was one of the few highlights of my time in RCC her classes were so educational and inspiring. She made me want to see the world because of her stories and explanations. I enjoyed her class a lot.
Prof. Taube's ART1 class was a highlight - engaging lectures, no textbook required, and helpful study tools like Unstuck study made it an easy A. Definitely recommend for an interesting, low-stress elective.
As long as you do the assignments and read the lectures, you'll get an A. Quizzes are on the lectures, no midterm, short written final for extra credit. Discussion posts without responses. Plenty of EC. Only thing is we didn't really hear from her during the semester, kinda bummed abt that but it's a super easy class. Good for a busy schedule.
I enjoyed having Dr. Taube! Only 2 assignments each week with a few extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. You do not have to reply to other students for the discussion posts which is nice! Unfortunately, she never really reached out to us, only ~3 announcements total.
